What is the value of the breast cancer stamp?
This would depend on what year it was issued and the condition of the stamp. For example a used stamp in average condition from 1998 is worth between 6 and 19 cents to a collector but could not be used for postage. An unused stamp in average condition from 1998 would be worth face value; in the case of a forever stamp (without a face value printed), it would be worth whatever the current postage rate has been raised too (as of January 2013, it would be worth 46 cents) and could be used for postage at that value.
