Are old stamps worth more still on a document?

Most collectors prefer to have the stamp in its original position, on envelope or document. This shows the usage of the stamp as it was intended and will have more value than the stamp by itself.


Is it better to leave the stamps on the envelopes or to remove them?

It depends a great deal on the stamp and how old it is. If there is a special cancellation or cachet on the envelope, it is better to keep it on the envelope. The older the stamp the more likely that the envelop will have more value than the plain stamp. It is better to leave the stamps on the envelope because there is a postage mark that goes over the stamp. That will give the stamp more value.

What is the value of a first issue 1973 postage stamp now?

First issue? I think you mean mint - which means it's unused. Many factors are involved in pricing the stamp: what country, condition of the stamp, which particular stamp (more than one stamp was issued in 1973) and whether it is new or used. Without more details it is not possible to answer your question properly.


What is the Value of breast cancer first class stamp?

This stamp is a semi-postal stamp which means it sells for more than face value and the extra amount collected goes for research towards finding a cure for breast cancer.When postage rates went up, rather than coming out with a new stamp, they justraised the charge for the stamp. It is still worth first class postage, now 45 cents, regardless of when you may have bought it, if it is mint.Used, your stamp has negligible value ( less than 10 cent retail) , but please do not throw it away! Keep it in your stamp collection for your children or yourself when you have more time. If you have more than one,you may be able to trade it for stamps of similar value. Or give it to a collector friend. Collectors always appreciate the thought even it they do not need the stamp.

Can an old used stamp be valuable?

Yes, they can be. While typically a used stamp has less value than a mint stamp, they are valued on the concept of supply and demand. A high value stamp is typically going to be very rare and high priced for the time frame it was used in. Early versions are also going to be more difficult to obtain than others.
