Calling all stamp collectors....

I've always enjoyed collecting oddball type pieces and stamps fit that description...Here are some of my favorites, please post any stamps that are in your collection.

In your experience, which is tougher, the Helmar or Piedmont stamps?

Jay

Hi Jay,

By far, the Piedmont stamps, as your brother probably already knows. Now if you're looking for a particular Helmar stamp of a certain player, then that may become a little tricky. Helmar stamps are a fairly large set so you can usually find an example for sale on e-bay routinely. But if you're looking for a particular player (ex. Cobb), I haven't seen a Cobb on e-bay for quite some time.

The Piedmonts rarely show up at all, on e-bay or other auctions, and when they do, they seem to get decent prices. I have seen a couple on ebay with BINs, a Eddie Collins SGC10 for $500, and the Beck that has been posted on here for about the same price. But, in reality, you could probably go months without seeing any on e-bay.

I've only owned one stamp - a Bender Piedmont stamp that now belongs to Mike! You can see it in the initial post of this thread. I got it for pretty cheap maybe 3-4 years ago. Something tells me people have caught onto the scarcity of this issue over the years, and prices have slowly risen as a result. Am I right?

BTW, those Cobb and Johnson Helmars are sweet! I dig the design of that issue. Thanks for sharing, Mike.

Hey Ben,

Thanks again for the Piedmont Bender , I promise you he's in good hands.

I only have a couple of stamps in my collection, but this orange Postaco is my favorite.

Here are a few:

I have much to trade if anyone has Helmars of McGraw and Suggs, a Helmar actress of Richie, or a Yale Pritchard stamp of Falsey. Thanks, Brian (email me at briansandy3@msn.com)

A new pick-up. A very colorful issue, I was surprised at the size of this when I received it (a little larger than expected).
1939 Centennial Stamp....

That is a really nice stamp and looks very cool. Is there a series of those?

Lee,

Yes, I think it is a set of 25 with 15 player stamps and 10 significant event stamps. I also believe there was an album to put them in.
