(From deep within the article)
Mint stamps with original gum on the back are worth more than used stamps
•Earlier stamps are worth more than modern stamps
•Stamps with any faults (creases, tears, thins, etc.) are worth far less than those in perfect condition. One thing that is common with most collectibles, especially stamps, is that condition is everything. The same stamp that normally sells for $100 may not even be worth $10 if there are creases, thins, tears, etc.
•Boxes of loose used stamps are usually worth very little
•Stamp albums that are sparsely filled are usually worth very little
•Stamp albums for children or beginners are usually worth very little
•Used US postage stamps printed in the last 70 years are worth almost nothing
• Mint with original gum US postage stamps printed in the last 70 years are, with a few exceptions, worth less than their face value and can be used for postage without worry. I use old stamps back into the 1930s as postage to mail envelopes. Old stamps are still valid for postage...well, all stamps issued after the civil war at least
