Philatelic expertise

It all started with a stamp album my grandmother put in my hands. At first, it was simple childhood curiosity. Very quickly, it became a passion.

From that album, I wanted to understand, identify, and classify. I spent hours in catalogs, scoured stamp dealers, and attended fairs and gatherings. From the age of 13, I bought everywhere I could, whenever I could. I often asked my father to take me there.

But that album wasn’t just a collection. It also told the story of my family, the countries my ancestors traversed, the lives they had led.

Flipping through those pages, I felt I held a piece of their journey — sometimes even the complete thread of their existence — in my hands.

Today, I am 32 years old, and I have lived philately for nearly two decades.

I learned the trade in Paris, in direct contact with professional dealers. That’s where I understood an essential thing:

What I’ve done (and few do)

To become a credible expert, I left the office.

• In the field, all across France I went directly to individuals and heirs to estimate collections, often on a corner of a table.
• Cash buybacks, in real conditions I have bought back hundreds of collections, both from heirs and collectors who contacted me directly for an appraisal and sale.
• Proven by the numbers I have appraised thousands of collections and completed thousands of transactions on eBay.

I have handled a considerable volume of stamps. I know where to look, which sources to consult, and how to distinguish a common piece from a truly interesting specimen.

At Sell My Stamps, every appraisal results in a detailed PDF report, sent within 24 hours, indicating the true market value of your collection.

Why work with me from abroad?

Now based in Israel, I have digitized this know-how to offer fast responses without compromising on security.

My role is to dig, analyze, and identify these rare pieces.

Two clear options. You decide.
