I have just won an auction for many German stamps I didn’t have yet on Catawiki for 37 euros (excluding shipping and the fee you pay Catawiki) It also includes some covers, which I’m also excited for. I don’t think it’ll have any really valuable stamps (otherwise more people would’ve bid on it) but it was certainly a steal for me as now I’ll be completing many of the more common German empire sets.
many of the early copies u have could be different printings as well as sets. the perfs and wtrmrks will determine which sets they belong to.some are highly collectible but most are common unless u go for post mark collecting
I've been a collector of many things over the last 30 yrs. I'll be honest, all those stamps are even more common than the junk wax sports card era. They printed far more stamps than baseball cards if that tells you anything, man. If you like stamps, cool. But don't collect thinking you're going to hit it big. You have a better chance of winning the lottery, ok? Hope this helps
I am having a horrible time trying to figure out my German stamps. I bought a worldwide collection and have no idea what I am looking at, I am totally a U.S collector but couldn't pass up the deal on this book I have. Thanks for making your videos they have helped me from my start about a year ago.
@@mallardstamps Yeah people like to trace them back to the exact date, and where they where send from , the ones with full stamps and certain towns/citie's are very collectible, and have high value.
The 2.50 Mark stamps (Michel cat. nr. 115) are not worth between 30-50 (€??). There are 6 color variations of which one is rare and goes for 250 € used. The rest go between 3 and 17 €. The overprint at 4:50 goes mint for 8 €, unused for 2.60 € and used for 110 €(!!). I could really advice you to get yourself the Michel special catalogue because there are a lot of stamps which in your book are in the wrong place. And with a lot of these German stamps take care of watermarks. They deside if a stamp is worth 1 € or 1000 € !!! Greetings from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿.
As I go through big collections I organize them and sometimes I find a lot of the same stamp! It’s not that I really like a particular stamp it’s just random!
Wooou! Hugger Germany collection may be on your collection have some from Prussia the 19 or 21 state I believe that was the number any way those Prussia stamp are very hard to found it.
Hindenburg stamps are worth under a dollar as well......they are very common, the ones with the black boarder were issued when Hindenburg died. They are not worth much either unfortunately.
intresting..but what a shame when you just stack them up. Rater then check out the dates and places they have been cancelled. Found one on my birthday Europe has the day first and then the months . ( 1889 ) ok not my birthyear ! Also the town had changed its name and belongs to Poland now Callies = Kalies . Several such city can be found like Strassburg ( German) on the west side of the river Rein . Now it is French ( Elsass) Strassbourg. Or Koenigsberg is still in Russian hands ( Kalingrad!) Much can be learned about such stamps and not only be greedy and hope they fetch lots of money ( mostly do not 😉)
The "20 Tausend on 200" double print seems interesting but unfortunately is not. The bigger 20 is the original print, the smaller 20 is a fake-print. This must somebody have done privately. The Michel catalogue also says nothing about it. With the Zeppelin stamps be carefull, here exist an awful lot of fakes. I could really help you to take a look which stamps are worth something but I guess you are from England or so, so you are just to far away. Greetings from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿 and stay healthy 😷.

Nice collection I just started collecting a bunch of German stamps myself like them very much!
Saar was a region of Germany that was administered by France after WW I. It was returned to German authority in 1935.
Thanks for the info!
Inflation stamps are worth more used than mint - mint most go for less than a dollar.......because there were so many of them......
I too have many used and unused Germain stamps from this era

A good idea would be to read up on german historie,
just a question the Germania 2m the blue and the red stamp is it rare?? and does it have a good worth? I’m a new collector and I’m rly interested :)
the 2,50 mark stamps @ 3:57 are rare to , stamped go for around 30-50 each
Thanks for the heads up! Yeah German stamps can be weird to me because they can be more valuable when they are used opposed to when they are mint!

@@robinred1851 Those prices you give are catalogue prices. Real values are about 10-20% of those.
Pardon my ignorance, being a relative newbie, why so many copies of the same stamp?

The 8 over 30 used is worth 6K!

Scott 162 olive green 10.might have value.
Please keep your voice level the same....you almost whisper, then raise your voice and the noise of the pages turning overwhelms it all.
I see you have an extreme interest in German stamps. Are you German? Not for good or bad reasons I was just Curious.. 🤔
I am not! I enjoy collecting German stamps because of their history!
