$3 1995 space shuttle challenger stamp - worth any more than face?
Have above described stamp in mint condition.
See picture at http://www.usps.com/images/stamps/95/prirty95.gif Has been sitting in desk drawer since priority mail increased in price. Will this sell for much more than face value? Haven't seen it for sale on eBay (past or present). Thx for any market insight. - AR |

Nor do I sell stamps, but I my experience is that few if any dealers would purchase a single "common" stamp for anywhere near catalogue value or even at face value. Dealers by and large buy accumulations and collections, not single stamps. Bob . Is your stamp dated "1995" or "1996"? .
