This is even more true of stamps! Things that cost just a few roubles
(less than pennies) can get quite a price here if they are unusual, rare
or difficult to find! Just the St, Petersburg overprints from last year in
that city can cost $50 if you can find them in pairs. And I have seen
covers with those stamps sell for a close to $100!
Hobbies are a funny thing; my wife would give .50 for all my coversand
postcards --- they are just "junk" to her!
Happy collecting!
