Greetings friends!
I've always liked to find something valuable in unpopular topics for my posts.
Postage stamps, in recent years, have become such an unpopular topic, including among those who, once, collected postage stamps.
Yes, they began to look at them like ballast, which lies in the attic and becomes covered with dust.
I have several subsidies of the Bank of the USSR, for a decent amount, but today, they are worth nothing, and I forgot about their existence.
But I think all of you know the saying - Money makes money.
Thanks to the #Leofinance platform and the #Hive as a whole, it is possible to move this dead locomotive from its place.
One day, philatelists go to my #Leofinance blog and find out the true value of the postage stamps, lol.
Today, I want to show you another, two Postage Due Stamp from Series Insects 1962, issued in 1962 in the Central African Republic.

Important!
Please note that the cost of shipping postage stamps to other countries can be many times more expensive than the postage stamp itself, approximately $ 5.5.
I see that it is not profitable to purchase one postage stamp if, suddenly, you need to replenish your collection. It is always more profitable to purchase the entire series, and, surplus, to change, or sell.
If you decide to buy a postage stamp online, be careful. sometimes sellers use stock images. But this option is unacceptable. You need to see exactly the product that you are buying.
If you are afraid that the postage stamp sellers will want to deceive you, you are doing the right thing, do not doubt it.
To get started with this hobby, buy a good magnifying glass, tweezers with flat and thin edges and a stockbook for postage stamps, they will come in handy.
When buying postage stamps, pay special attention to the back of the postage stamp. The adhesive layer must not be damaged.
There is such an expression - How many people, so many opinions, this also applies to sellers of postage stamps. Each of them believes that his postage stamp is in perfect condition, but only you yourself can find the perfect postage stamp for yourself.
Sometimes, a small, white scrap of paper with a round stamp on it and a number inscribed in the center circle can be a very valuable postage stamp from the days when postage stamps were not printed.
The cost of a postage stamp is determined by supply and demand, but usually in catalogs you can see the estimated cost of a postage stamp in Pounds Sterling.
In terms of quality, postage stamps can be divided into three groups: used postage stamps that were pasted on and removed from the envelope, canceled postage stamps that were canceled at the post office, by order and sent for sale, and clean, uncanceled postage stamps. As you can imagine, these three types of postage stamps, their conditions, greatly affect their value.
To be continued.
