What JF Bastok buys in Uccle
Antique and collectible stamps issued between 1840 and 1945, in albums, stock books or loose, as well as old stamped letters. All collections, any quantity, with cash payment.
What determines the value
A stamp’s value depends on the country, year and series, but above all on condition: centring, perforations, gum, cancellation. On an old letter, the combination of stamps, postmarks and route can be worth far more than the stamps alone.
Home appraisal in Uccle

Before the appointment
Never remove a stamp from an old letter and don’t handle stamps with your fingers. Leave albums as they are: their layout helps value the collection.
