Hello,

New to this site. I have a bunch of stamps, all countries, various ages. I'm wondering how I can determine their worth. Is there a philately search engine or appraisal service somewhere?

Any advice is welcome.
Regards,
Glenn

hi GF,
as a newcomer to stamp collecting aka philately and delcampe, welcome. to answer your question from an ol' philatelist, as you live in the u.s., try your local library and see if they have some scott catalogs you can check out or use in the library to look up your stamps. you should also become familiar with philatelic terms and read the front of the catalogs as that has good information to help first time learners. also here is a good site to help you:

www.stamps.orgLink (http)

this is the american philatelic organization or APS for short. this site has a lot of help for beginners. and other links that will help too. if you need any more help, i and many other delcampers are here to assist you. have fun with this hobby, you will learn much from it. i have in the 40+ years i have been doing it.

P.S.-you will find more help from us if you leave messages under the philatelic section of the forum.
