Wir präsentieren Ihnen die seltensten und teuersten Briefmarken, aber das ist kein allumfassendes Set. Verschiedene Kleinigkeiten, wie zum Beispiel ein Geheimzeichen oder eine Wellung, die nicht auffällig und auf den ersten Blick nicht sichtbar sind, können eine normale Briefmarke teuer machen.

So kann nicht jede Briefmarke, die wie eine Briefmarke aussieht, die auf dieser Seite erscheint, so teuer sein. Wenn Sie Ihre Briefmarke identifizieren möchten, die wie eine der Briefmarken auf dieser Liste aussieht, müssen Sie alle ihre Abarten überprüfen (diese Informationen sind für unsere Abonnenten auf unserer Website verfügbar).
