The Most Expensive Stamps

Little History of Stamp

Stamps was published for the first time in England. It created by Sir Rowlan Hill. With his innovative help people to communicate to each other by stick the stamps on the envelope. Bhutan as a one of the country in Himalaya obtain foreign exchange revenue from selling postage stamps for philately collections around the world. We get a lot of benefit from the stamps like: the stamp can stick the relationship between children and parents, fellow friends, peace among world leaders. stay away from drugs, love the environment and sports. introduce the culture of a country and the resort. Inside the stamps contain many themes with specific mission and vision.

Benefit Become Philatelist

Philately is the activity of collecting postal items. Collecting stamps is nice hobby. We can get knowledge from here. Also become an investment for the future, we get a much profits. The collector of stamp who have a lot of money, He would willing to buy a rare old stamps or first day covers. Of these fun activities that can bring a big profit for us. As a consideration is the less people who use the postal service to send a letter using stamps. Someday kind stuff like stamp to be a rare item and hard to find.
Do you know that there are some stamps become very rare and Very expensive. It looks small stuff but behind the history of the stamps, this stuff become valuable things. The value of a stamp can be seen from the age of these stamps. More old-fashioned of the stamps, it more expensive. I have the list of the most expensive stamps over the world.

With the normal stamp with blue and green color also rare stamps. In 1990 it sold reached one million dollars U.S, then in 1996 sold for $ 2.3 million. And each time this stamps sold always scored the highest number as a most expensive stamps in the world.
