There will always be people buying/selling PMs, I'm not so sure about stamps. From what I understand, the stamp community (Or a "Philatelist") went south with modern printers. With the advancements and ease to obtain different stock (Paper) and printers, there were too many fakes abound.
I'm not a Philatelist, but I have owned a few stamps in my days.

If PM's collapse to $700-$800, I promise you the Coin Forum will be cut in half as many of the Boys will be over here bragging how they 'backed up the Truck' during this Uber-Manipulation ;>
Think about it, West Texas Intermediate GOES UP in price with the Dollar this week, but Gold and Silver loose 6% to 7% this week?? LOL
I was ‘COINB0Y' with 4812 posts and ‘Expert Collector’ ranking (Joined in 2006).
When the majority of die hard PM forum members mutilate their hands beyond any medical help trying to catch the "falling knife PM knife." And when the rest throw away their crystal balls, this forum will just be a memory
Good grief, I'm having a nightmare, or is it a premonition?

Does PCGS / Collectors Universe or a sister company grade & slab stamps?
CLCT sold their stamp division a couple of years ago for 3 bottle caps, 2 paper clips, and a stapler. They did about 3K stamp certs/quarter. FYI- they sold their currency division about 4 years ago for a few hundred K

If gold dips below $300 an ounce we could slow up a bit.

If that happens I might end up buying some collectors gold without the huge premium.
If so can someone post a photo? I would guess they would be in a holder like paper money
As small as a stamp is I am wondering how big the holder is?
Thanks, GrandAm
P.S. I would ask this on the stamp forum but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Search for other stamp boards. You may find that there is a stamp board out there more active then the
PCGS coin board.
And I think they were dising on coins.
Just saying.
