    At a quick glance, I can't see anything valuable here. Have you tried https://findyourstampsvalue.com? It helped me identify some of the stamps my grandpa left me. They have a user-friendly UI, so I was able to do it very quickly.

    Just search stamps on Ebay sold and change the sort tab to price + shipping highest

    Mint stamps under 100 years old are selling under face, no demand for used stamps.

    I just received a postcard advertising what used to be the premier Detroit area stamp show, The "Plymouth Show", hosted by the West Suburban Stamp Club was a major show on the APS exhibit show circuit. Top notch exhibits were shown and judged.

    A couple of years back the exhibits part of the show was dropped. The membership had gotten old and could no longer set up the display cases needed for the exhibits. (This requires a lot of work and some heavy lifting.)

    Now it appears that the show has been taken over by a commercial coin show promoter and turned into a mostly coin show.

    Stamp collecting has been in decline for many decades and this is just another example of how bad the decline has been.

    There might be some demand for certified perfectly centered common stamps. It cost at least $20 to certify each stamps though. There is a huge price difference between a Smq100 and smq90. I can’t tell the difference

    Do real stamp collectors care about third party grading? It has been around for a long time but never seems to have caught on among actual stamp collectors. Investors may like them but just who wants to "invest" in stamps these days?
