To anyone sending or storing stamps....

   Keep away from humidity and high temps
   Place in a dry place...use silica gel packs to help
   Do not use any sort of tape near stamps!
   Place in zip lock bag when shipping to prevent any water damage.
   If you live in the country...place some sort of bug protection to prevent insects from eating your stamps.
   Do not pile your stamps on top of each other...the gum can melt and will stick to each other.
   Keep away from any light to prevent fading.
   NEVER USE SCOTCH TAPE TO AFFIX YOUR STAMPS

Some good websites to go thru

Interesting, but makes sense. Do you collect/keep the whole envelope, or just the stamp? (Just curious). Thanks!

The entire envelope in this case. It is more legit and more appealing on envelope. Also the entire cancel is not only stamped on the stamp but stamped to the left of the stamp as well clearly indicating city and date.

Rare postage stamps left on envelope usually command higher prices.

Nice!

I have one myself, great!

Everyone is going crazy for FDC and first day cancelled stamps.

In Philately we call them CTO Cancelled To Order. They were never really genuinly used thru the postage system...in other words..never used for what they were intended...mailed to someone.

I as a pure Philatelist..prefer used genuinly. I would recommend people who are serious to do the same. I just nabbed one below and as you can see...its the real deal.

So there IS ETH loaded on to these cards? I was told there is not. How much? Obviously I am far out of the loop on these, apologies! Thx!

Christmas has come early for collectors who have been rushing to get their hands on what may be the rarest stamp of all, 1,500 red ones issued by Austria’s post office with 0.001666666 ETH contained in each of them.

Soooo only the red ones have loaded eth value? Forgive my ignorance and thanks!

All have same...I just copied and pasted the first paragraph to show you loaded amount.

All have something like 0.001666 eth in to cover the fees to transfer to another wallet/ownership I think

Be aware...since these cancelled stamps and first day covers are commanding such high prices...its a matter if time they will be forged. Its an age odl dillema in philately and classic example was
Sperati. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_de_Sperati

   I have used in the past the American Philatelic Society and the Philatelic Foundation to have rare stamps certified. And trust me...fakes were found that looked as real as the genuine stamp or genuine cancel....or reperforated...or repaired.

   Always reach out to them first prior to sending anything.

   http://www.philatelicfoundation.org/
   https://stamps.org/

   Also hodl on to your receipts. That might help with provenance...but not 100% either

Right, we all know the ETH adress of the austrian post so all public adress are known : it seems possible.
But you would also have to match with the real private keys which is impossible as they are hidden.

We could imagine a counterfeiter buying a red one, then getting access to the private key then minting a bunch of copies.

Looks definitly a joke

  Ok since you changed whatever you said before...lets play this scenario...which is very doable.

  I find a red stamp that has been online somewhere....here for example on this forum being sodl in an auction. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/auction-austria-post-crypto-stamps-full-set-all-the-colours-5165588

J1TDs https://crypto.post.at/CS1/J1TDs

  I replicate the red stamp and use the same identifying code numbers to ID it as a red stamp online thru their Austrians Postoffice website.

  I could not care less what is under the stamp scratch off.

   NOBODY will be redeeming the pittance of Ethereum underneath. That would destroy the value of the Stamp.

   So not only is it doable, but very easily replicated without having to worry about your blockchain remarks.

   And as a collector of these stamps, I can tell ya...will never redeem...and I guarantee any collector will not either.

   I have seen a red stamp go for over $2200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Crypto-Stamp-ROT-RED-Limited-Edition-Postfrisch-Briefmarke-Ethereum/143324560751?hash=item215ecf3d6f:g:EpYAAOSwYd1dJLaM

   That my friend will attract sharks from miles around looking for a bite into something that juicy. Wink

Its not a matter of if, but a matter of time and when. Wink

Can't fake them.
It's on ETH blockchain, how do you fake a blockchain?

You can not fake a blockchain so these stamps will never be counterfeit.

Not the stamps....the cancellations on the stamps!

I was referring to cancelled stamps and first day covers! Roll Eyes

What do they have in common? They are cancelled or stamped

And guess what...yes they can be forged or faked.
