Value of this Newfoundland - Trail of the Caribou series?

[ritz21]

Greetings!

I hope this is not improper... (or in the wrong place!)

May I inquire to you experts how much (in either USD or CDN) we could expect for this 1919 series? Never hinged, all new stamps. We are considering putting that up for auction.

Thank you for your time!

Hi ritz21 ,

The Scott Catalogue has this  Scott# 115-126 Set, Mint, never hinged a value of $425. This is from the 2014 Scott Classic Specialized Catalogue of Stamps and Covers.

Here is a listing from eBay to see what they are selling for there....

Hope this helps,
Kris

Welcome to Stamp Bears, ritz21!

Without seeing a pic of the set, I can only quote you the 2018 Scott catalog value of US$581.50 for the set of 12 in Very Fine NH condition. Condition and centering is everything, and the key stamps will be the four 12c-36c. The rest of the stamps will only have modest to minor premiums.

Anything less than VF or minor flaws will result in a huge drop in retail value.

Assuming VF NH with no flaws, you can reasonably expect to net $90-$150 for the set. Of course you can always find lower/higher sales prices, but that is the range I would consider most sales to fall in.

Best wishes, and please post a pic of the set if you can (we love stamp pictures!).


EDIT: OK, I see the picture now. Not sure why it wasn't showing earlier. Your set is generally F-VF. It looks like it's free of any obvious major/minor flaws (of course, I can't see paper creases/dings). Unfortunately, the high value stamp in the set, the 12c stamp (1/4 of the total stamp set value) looks AVG to barely F centering. My non-expert opinion is you would net $75-$125 after deducting sales commission/costs.
