I want to start collecting and wonder if i should try to get unused ones or used ones So Which stamps are worth more used or unused?
Start by buying the Scott Catalogue for use in referencing. Read about stamps on your computer, join a sstamp club. Every collector is different and both used and unused stamps have places in our collections. This becomes especially true when the mint copy of a stamp is priced beyond our means. A collector will then "settle" for a used copy, or if the stamp is extremely expensive and even the used copy is too costly, a collector will settle for a stamp with a Fault (missing piece, tear, clipped perforation, hole, scuff, thin spot, crease, toning, oxidation, stain, short perforation, etc. on a stamp). Value for a stamp is based on its "rarity" as well as its condition. There are some stamps worth more used than mint. It is not impossible to collect almost every US stamp issued since 1924 in mint very fine, never hinged condition. (This would be the top condition of a stamp). Welcome to the world of Stamp Collecting.
