Judging Kiloware Sources

The real pleasure of sorting Commonwealth lots is the genuine chance that one of these days you're going to find a really valuable stamp or postmark.

However, as most experienced sorters of Commonwealth have realised, there is genuine unpicked kiloware offers to be purchased and some other offers where you feel certain you are not the first person to be checking the stamps! when you see genuinely unsorted kiloware you will immediately understand the difference compared to some of the recycled remainders being regularly sold on by some dealers.

So when you find a charity or dealer kiloware source that offers genuinely unpicked Commonwealth lots it is often well worth sticking with them again for future purchases.

About Unused Stamps in Kiloware and Charity Collected Stamp Mixtures

When sorting Commonwealth and similar mixtures of stamps or charity stamp lots it is an offence in many countries, including the UK, to knowingly re-use a postage stamp that has already passed through the mail.

Please be advised that, when sorting Commonwealth lots and stamps on paper, any attempt to use cleaning agents or chemicals to remove postmarks or using any other deceptive methods to make a stamp appear unused is actively policed by the Royal Mail and most postal agencies in other countries.

However, any mint, genuinely unused stamps (for example with the original gum or backing paper still attached) that you find when sorting Commonwealth and charity stamp mixtures can legitimately be used on future mailings.
