Cool!

Maybe check out Ebay and see if others are selling something similar and how much they’re asking for it? That always helps give me a better idea and whether it’s worth my time to try and sell or not :) Though as you know the stamp market isn’t nearly what it used to be back in the day :(

There are seventeen.25 cent green stamps and two .10 cent red stamps.

I’ve had them in my stamp collection for about 40 years. They were old when I acquired them.

Wondering what they are worth, if I can still redeem them and/or sell them.

Thanks!
Bill

Whaaaaa I didn’t know that!! Most of us will have 40 or 60 years to invest too so that’s a lot of doubling! :)

They reset the interest every 6 months but they also guarantee that the amount will double in 20 years, which comes out to 3.6% interest rate if held that long. So even if they are only paying 1% or 2% now, you will get 3.6% if you wait.

You can scoop ’em up directly off the web now:

In fact, I don’t know if they still print out bonds anymore? I believe it might be all electronic now…

I don’t know much about that, but I do know that the sales from WWI bonds were *drastically* lower than in WWII so I guess they figured something out :)

I remember collecting stickers for childhood books many years ago, and I think I’d enjoy the game of filling it up. Gamify, right?
