1000+ Used Worldwide Postage Stamps Off-paper Stamp International Stamp Collecting

I had a kit like this when I was a kid and really enjoyed it. So I decided to try this assortment and an album to start my collection in and I am just delighted with what I got in this 1000 stamp deal. I have a few areas of particular interest in mind, such as US history, space exploration, and railroads. Much to my surprise I found a few of each of these topics that I wouldn't have minded going out and purchasing separately for much more money. I think I have already saved what I spent on this thousand stamp collection on stamps I would have bought that weren't already included. On top of that, I find the vast assortment of stamps from different countries are beyond what I knew about world geography and political lines. It has been very informative and interesting to look up each of these mystery stamps and learn about the countries they come from. All in all my bottom line is, what a great jump start to my new stamp collection, I could not be happier!

Thank you so much for the amazing stamps! The extra stamps on the outside of the package were greatly Appreciated. Pleasantly surprised!

AMAZING verity of stamps. There were some duplicates, but not many in a pile of 1000 + the whole bunch of stamps on the outside of the envelope. LOVE LOVE LOVE this set.

It is great to get 1000 plus stamps of different countries for kid to start stamp collection hobby. But this bulk buy comes with its own downside which are stamps are duplicate and these are used stamps so some are stuck to other ones due to the glue and some stamps and sealed on top making it impossible to use for collection. Apart from these two downsides rest is great. Some stamps are broken or cut as well but that is hardly 5/10 stamps.

Loved it. So much in $30 or so.

I purchased this collection of stamps as art material. I was enchanted and enthralled when I opened the package. Not only will they be of value to me for my art, but they were representative from far many more countries than I had expected or hoped...places like the Vatican and Pitcarin Island. Many appeared to be even older than I am, and that's saying a lot! Well worth the money in my estimation.

Excellent Seller! Stamps arrived on time and exactly as described. The stamps were beautiful. I’m delighted with my purchase. Expertly packaged. Fast, easy, smooth transaction. I highly recommend this seller!

I had purchased a packet of "old" foreign stamps before on Amazon that was just amazing. I collect only stamps from before 1968. My previous purchase was wonderful. I have a fairly extensive stamp collection and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of stamps in the Amazon packet that I didn't already have in my collection. In many cases stamps from the 19th century. I estimate that some 25% of the stamps in the packet that was sent to me were stamps that I didn't already have. I am quite disappointed by this collection. Many of the stamps are from the 1970s and even 1980s. Yes, I understand that I have my own particular standard, and that for many folks 1970s and 80s stamps are "old." So I'm not claiming I was cheated here. I'm just noting how disappointed I am in this collection. I've gone through some 200 stamps of the 1,000 I purchased, and have found just one stamp that I was missing in my collection. One of the big "secrets" of stamp collecting is that many countries print far more stamps than are need by their postal system. They print these stamps solely to be sold to collectors. So many modern stamps are really not stamps that were used in postal systems, but stamps created just for the country "making" the stamps to make money by selling to collectors. They'll often have themes that have nothing whatsoever to do with the country issuing them. They're really created to make a buck and nothing else. As a generalist, I'm not very interested in those types of stamps. But this collection was chock full of them. So, again, not claiming I was cheated, just severely disappointed after having a wonderful experience with Amazon previously.
