Valuation and advice

Selling stamp collections

A collection can represent financial value, many years of interest and family history. A sale should therefore begin with a qualified overview.

How it works

Contact

You call or write with a short description of the collection, its scope and where it is located.

Initial assessment

Based on information and possible photographs, it is assessed whether an inspection makes sense.

Inspection

The collection is reviewed with focus on quality, areas, rarity, condition, documentation and suitable sales method.

Advice on sale

You receive a clear recommendation for the next step, including whether the material is suitable for auction through POSTILJONEN AB.

What may be relevant?

Stamp collections, country collections and specialised collections.

Covers, postal stationery, postcards and postal history.

Collections from estates, inheritances and private homes.

Larger lots, archives and material with uncertain value.

A confidential dialogue

The first purpose is not to force a quick decision, but to create an overview.

Many enquiries come from people who are not philatelists themselves. The emphasis is therefore on plain language, realistic expectations and a proper process from first contact to any possible consignment.
