It can be liberating, the hunt is more exciting

If my collection was with 25 mil I wouldn't sell it. I'd let museums show them off for a week once a month and collect small but substantial fees

As a life long stamp collector? The hobby allows you to spend very little and still have a great collection and all points in between. In his case, he had the income and the expertise to make a fortune in the hobby.

[@HarryPotter-kd3bh]

the true fortune was getting to see all the stamps and for so long.

Interesting to hear of others besides Bill Gross who did such a thing with their millions. If I ever win the Powerball I will attempt the same thing with Australia.

amazing collection! cheers!

IF I win the lottery I will have a stamp collection that will rival this. Stamp collecting and searching for rare stamps is a literal treasure hunt.

[@ringpop6177]

Soooo Cool!!

[@TSV805]

Unfortunately the true value is only what someone will pay you for it. If it appraises for $25 million but you can’t find a buyer, then unfortunately it just isn’t worth that much (not at this time, anyway). It is sad to know something’s appraised value and then have to decide what you might settle for (or hold out and hope to find a buyer).

He will probably sell the lot on Facebook for $300 lol. But for real. I hope he looks after them.

[@kingcurry6594]

@@epichourtime He won't sell them cheap. He has the addresses of a number of highly regarded, honest and knowledgeable dealers, one of whom will handle the sale for him - people I've known for years and can trust. He knows full well that they are worth well into 6 figures. I also have a full database of every item with full description and value and images of every stamp. I have to, for insurance purposes.

Did he sell the hole collection?

[@onkeldusty89]

He sell the hole colection but not in one Auction. I think the buyout will go for 3 or 4 times. The cplt colection is to expensive and so IT could be that a buyer had at time not enough money to buy more Stamps. But He will make his money! Sometimes the Offiziell Post Office buy some stamps bc they had not this stamps in their own colection and that is Canadian Posthistory.

[@kingcurry6594]

Alan Holyoake, a very wealthy businessman, spent millions assembling one of the finest collections ever seen. He only took 9 years to do it. He entered it in the 2010 London exhibition and won top prize for his exhibition of 1d Blacks and 2d Blues. It included no less than 5 1d Black 1st Day Covers. I believe he then sold some or even most of his collection as he had achieved what he wanted to. I couldn't' do that.

I think he didn't spend that much money. But one thing is for sure, only money brings together such a collection. I don't have the money for such a collection and if I had, I would not spend it on stamps, even when I am a collector (Netherlands, German Empire).

Stamps aren't worth much in 2023. No one cares anymore I believe. Maybe Canada has some specialists, but everyone under 50 is into Star Wars and comics. Coins are of some value, but counterfeiting is rampant.
