Selling stamps

I have collected mint Isle of Man stamps since their introduction in 1973 until the end of 2013. Is there any value in these? They are all in dedicated IOM Post Office albums. If so, where would I sell them. I live in East Yorkshire.

  • The obvious is ebay.

    Set your minimum price on a free insertion weekend.

    Take them to a dealer at a collectors fayre and ask for a price.

    Collectables auction?

    I know nothing about stamps being into cigarette/trade cards. I did, however, for a friend take about 100 first day covers to a collectors. fayre. If memory serves the dealer gave me about £50.

    Obviously Isle of Man stamps are a diffirent thing.

    You might see these same stamps on ebay and get a feeling for what they are achieving in price.
