The worth of a stamp depends on many factors which could cause a stamp to be worth pennies to hundreds, thousands into a million dollars. Most issues were printed in the 100's of millions of stamps making them worth only pennies. Some of the factors that make a stamp worth more are:

  • Rarity: Stamps that had only a few printed go up in value.
  • Old: Most old stamps have a good value, but not all of them.
  • Mistakes or (Errors, Freaks and Oddities): Usually have very good values.
  • Supply and demand: Some stamps go up in value because of demand. More people bought them an pushed the value up. (Baseball, Movie stars, animals, etc)
