Stamp Valuations for Insurance
Sandafayre provides stamp valuations for insurance purposes. An insurance valuation is based on our estimation of the likely replacement costs of the collection in the open market.
If you already own a valuable stamp collection, accumulation or rarity you will know it is a complex and highly-prized asset like almost no other; we recommend that it be adequately insured for the appropriate amount.
