Will Stamp Atlas tell me what the collection is worth?

No. Stamp Atlas does not value stamps or publish prices. It gives you an organised list of what you have — the best possible starting point for a conversation with a reputable dealer, auction house or philatelic society.

Should I remove stamps from the albums first?

No. Photograph them where they are. Removing stamps can damage them, and stamps on their original covers or album pages are sometimes worth more left as they are.

I don’t know anything about stamps. Can I still use it?

Yes — that is who this is for. Identification suggestions do the heavy lifting, and our glossary explains any terms you come across.

Where do I even start?

Albums, stock books and envelopes of loose stamps, with no index and nobody left to ask.

Is any of it valuable?

Most collections are worth more as memories than money — but you want to know before you decide anything.

Keeping it, splitting it or selling it

Family members want to know what’s there, and dealers want a list.
