Before the album

What makes a stamp valuable

Honestly, first: most stamps after 1960 were printed in large numbers and fetch little on their own. These are the features that matter.

Catalogue value is not a price Catalogues such as Michel give reference values for comparison. Stamps usually trade well below them, common ones often at a fraction.

Perforation and condition Missing perforations, creases, thin spots or stains lower the value. For some issues only the perforation tells a common stamp from a rare one.

Mint, hinged or cancelled Mint never hinged means the gum on the back is untouched. The catalogue gives a separate value for each condition. So photograph the back as well.

The whole collection Dealers often buy collections as a whole, by album or by weight. A list with photos and ranges helps you compare offers.

Frequently asked questions

How reliable is the value?

It is an automatically produced, non-binding orientation value: not an appraisal, not an authentication and not a buying price. Where a single figure would mislead, OWNY shows a range. Authenticity is checked by experts, for stamps for example a BPP expert.

Why is the value below the catalogue value?

Catalogue values such as Michel's are reference values for comparison, not prices stamps are bought at. Dealers and auctions usually pay far less, for common stamps often only a small part. That is why OWNY gives a range as orientation.

Can I photograph a whole album page?

Yes. Without an account, OWNY shows you on one photo how many stamps there are, what they are called and the range of their orientation values. With an account, OWNY creates each stamp on a stock page as an object of its own.

What happens to my photo?
