If you have any investment in our hobby, you’ve heard of Apfelbaum. We’ve been involved in the buying and selling of stamps day after day, year after year for over 100 years. Founded by our Great Grandfather Maurice Apfelbaum in 1915, Apfebaum has sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of stamps and covers to collectors and dealers just like you.
One of the many things we’ve learned from all our experience is that for most collectors, even thinking about selling your stamps (or even downsizing) is fraught with questions and problems. Questions abound, and we have the answers. Questions like—How do I organize my stamps for sale? How do I even know what I have? What are my stamps really worth?—Questions like these can be answered by first answering the following question—How do I begin?
You begin by calling Ken Apfelbaum (800-523-4648 Ext. 131) or emailing us at ken@apfelbauminc.com. Either Ken or one of our four full time stamp appraisers will speak to you about what you have and help you formulate in your mind a proper plan for philatelic organization. The goal of this plan is either the eventual disposal of your stamps or an immediate plan for action that can help you liquidate your philatelic holdings as rapidly or as profitably as possible. Our buyers travel the globe, constantly acquiring fine stamps for our hungry collector and dealer buyers. We’d be happy to come and see you too at your home, bank, or office. Many collectors today like the ease of sending their stamps to us free of charge for our prompt, no obligation offer. Our buyer can guide you through all of your options when you call.
As one of the largest stamp dealers in the world for over a century, Apfelbaum can offer you the full array of selling options—from outright sale for immediate cash to Public Auction sale to Private Treaty sale. Each collection has strengths and weaknesses and after discussion and agreement with you, we will implement a selling strategy that maximizes the total net dollars that you receive for your stamps.
Over 25,000 stamp collectors have sold their stamps to Apfelbaum. We guarantee your complete satisfaction.
