Space-Filler

 PDF Print E-mail
Most of the Philatelists endeavor to collect undamaged stamps in the best condition attainable. However, an increasing number are also willing to accept damaged stamps, the reasons for this are economic.

If a collector wishes to purchase a scarce stamp, he may expect to pay about 70% to 100%+ of catalogue value for it, if it is in perfect condition. If however, he is willing to accept a very fine appearing example of the same stamp with a minor defect, he may have to pay only 10% to 20% of catalogue value.

If he's willing to accept a Space-Filler of the same stamp, an uglier example with a major defect, he may be able to find one for 5% to 8%, or less, depending upon how horrible it looks.

- Mrs. Nagalakshmi Tadakaluri, Philatelist.
