Packet of 500 Different Collectable Worldwide Stamps

I liked that some of the stamps were ones I hadn’t seen before. They were nice to add to my collections. They lived up their name as being ‘collectables’. Some of them were very fragile looking. I didn’t want to touch them much for fear of having them disintegrate while holding them. Some also appeared as if they were from the 1940’s or earlier. The colors were eye catching and different from US stamps . I did have some dislikes, though: Some of the more interesting ones had post marks right on the center of the stamp, blocking out the face of the person portrayed on that stamp. Another thing that got under my skin was the fact some of the stamps were the same ones, meaning between 3-6 of the stamps were the same amount,, and the same picture.It was almost as if the seller didn’t have enough stamps to make 500 in a pack so they just added some of the same ones to make sure there were 500. Overall, I would say these stamps are good for people starting out a stamp collection, and for someone like myself who likes to collect stamps, it was nice to see a few different ones I don’t have in my collections. A shout out to the seller for a job well done!

Although 187 were duplicates. But that's still 558 different stamps, more than advertised. Most of the stamps were in good condition. There were a few mint stamps. The vast majority were from Europe, with Germany being very dominant, at least 50 stamps were from there. But still a good value, giving hours of pleasure separating and placing the stamps in an album.

Terrible stamps

Had a minor issue on the previous shipment. It was handled very quickly and efficiently. Very nice selection of stamps, top notch!

I bought from a seller (fulfilled by Amazon) and this was a fabulous bunch with some super tiny and old stamps and a few large cool relatively new ones (see pics). I’m not sure if there’s 500–it looks close to that mark. I’ll update if it’s not! I found a really cool stamp from a former commonwealth country prior to independence. A few had corners chopped off (see pic) but that’s okay—there’s maybe 2-3 of those total. There’s a whole bunch of US, GB, Germany, Hungary, France, Canada and Australia ones. Within a few hours I have found stamps from Monaco, Italy, India, Lesotho, Jamaica, South Africa, UAE, Maldives, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, Equatorial Guinea, Israel, Denmark, Nigeria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Japan, Panama, Poland, Bermuda, Finland etc. I even got one from Democratic Federal Yugoslavia which prompted me to look up its history!

I was please with the variety of stamps from all over the world, very few duplicates. I just wish there was at lease the amount of stamps advertised. Paid for 500 stamps but only received 458. Grouped them in piles of 10 when I unpacked them.

I bought these stamps for my daughter to earn her BSA Stamp Merit Badge. It was perfect. The stamps were in great condition. There were several beautiful and interesting stamps. Since the stamps are not in mint condition, I don’t know that I would gift them to an invested stamp collector. But this is an excellent packet to introduce beginners to.

This is an excellent collection - better than expected. All different, mostly large, colorful pictorals, and no duplicates. Very wide selection of nations. Often "bulk" collections of 100s of stamps will contain multiple duplicates and damaged stamps, etc, these actually appear to be hand sorted and selected to insure premium quality. Also delivery was faster than Amazon projection. I received my order in 7 days, shipped from Germany and delivered to California.
