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.

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.

This also made it difficult if someone stole the stamps to resell them in another place.
