On Sunday sitting at my stamp desk sorting newer Swedish stamps into my duplicate stock book an idea came to me.
Shal I sell my Swedish collection?
The collection spans from 1855-2001, I have 2432 different stamps/items in it. I miss ca 128 stamps in that period and only 20stamps in the 1855-1971 period.
My collection sits in three preprinted Leuchtturm (Lighthouse) album with clear mounts.
My guess is that I will get between $350-750 for the collection?
So, why will or do I even consider to do this?
There are several reasons. For me the hunt for stamps to my collection is the main focus. I newer repeat newer open my albums just to look at the stamps.
The Leuchtturm albums are good, but I would like to have them more specialized. So my plan is to restart a Swedish collection on DIY pages very detailed. And stop somewhere between 1930-45.
I already have duplicates enough to fill a second rather good Swedish collection (2456 different stamps but that is up to present date). The best items from my present collection will be replaced with lesser good items from my duplicate stock.
So what do you my fellow friends and stamp nerds think of this Idea?
Illustration of my albums.
And for the record, I'm thinking of doing the same with my Danish and Finnish collection!!!!
