(All values are shown in South African Rand)
The value shown on this website is not the traditional dealer price, but rather a value that
a collector could expect if he/she wants to sell the item.
For standard first day covers issued by the SA Post Office, the SACC dealer value was
used (2019 edition) as basis, but reduced to a expected market price for collectors
The Atlas listing of date stamps and the Borgstein listing of Railway stamps were also used as
basis.
Regular sales of online sites as Bid or Buy and Ebay was also taken into account.
The number of covers issued (when this was available) was also taken into account.
Where the theme of a certain cover is popular, this was also taken into account.
But remember – The eventual value of a certain item depend on what you are willing to pay
for it and what the seller wants for it, not what is shown in a catalogue or on this website.
Should you disagree with a value of a certain cover and want to propose a change, please let me know. Try to attach proof of an actual transaction to substantiate your proposal.
