Stamp(s) of approval

There are far too many new stamps out there to be considered of any value as investments.
Very old stamps are a different proposition especially the unperforated type.
Quite a few years ago a parcel came in the mail with three stamps of the same denomination but two had faults and they were different to each other. I thought I had found a small pot of gold. I approached a stamp dealer who offered $1.00 so I figured he was a thief. I tried others with the same result.
Modern stamps even with imperfections are worthless.
The stamp from Bhuta with the red S/C Westchester looks pretty eye catching. Why didn't the company offer red as a standard colour ................................ Cords are certainly HOT cars.

Huh, how about that. Yeah, I was being a bit facetious - of course it's a profit thing. Thanks anyway for your $0.02, Mike.

They sell stamps to make money, not because they adore the cars. The same way with our special stamps in the US. If you buy a stamp and don't use it, that's a nice profit margin.
My Dad was a mail carrier and left me full pages and corners with the page serial numbers on them. I am told by stamp collectors the way to get the most money for them is to use them on letters. They aren't even worth face value.

Hi folks,

Now, I'm not given to philately, but upon finding out the Cord 810/812 adorned a few stamps I simply had to get 'em. Once again, eBay has proved a boon in this scouring, having previously lent itself to helping me amass copies of original Cord advertisements.

One thing I found most intriguing with these stamps were the countries of origin - who'd have thought the good folks of Somalia held the Cord in such esteem! Who would credit Bhutan with honouring the Cord 812 with a quasi-3D stamp? Not I!

Do hope you enjoy the spread. Is anyone able to tell me if there's absences in this meagre collection? Surely a car of such stature would warrant more, but I've yet to encounter further stamps featuring the 810/812.

Kindest regards,

Thomas
