philately, the study of postage stamps, stamped envelopes, postmarks, postcards, and other materials relating to postal delivery. The term philately also denotes the collecting of these items.

Nearly all unused U.S. stamps issued after 1930 are worth face value.

Unfortunately, most stamps marked after 1930 are likely sold at face value or below. That means that the price you pay to buy them for postage is the maximum price that you can sell them for.

However, their value is contingent upon factors like rarity, historical importance, condition, and collector demand. The worth of stamps is influenced by attributes such as centering, which denotes design alignment, and perforations, the small holes along edges.
