2.1. The British Guiana 1c magenta is one of the rarest stamps in the world. Sold in
June 2014 at Sotheby's for $9.48 million.
2.2. The market is certainly much smaller than the financial markets but it is not
trivial. It has been estimated at 5 Billion.[5] The majority of these
transactions, however, are likely to be low value items rather than investments.
In a 2007 interview, Mike Hall of Stanley Gibbons estimated that "About $1
billion of rare stamps trade annually in the $10 billion-a-year stamp market."[2]
The number of collectors worldwide was estimated at 30 million in 2004.[6] In
2009, Adrian Roose of Stanley Gibbons estimated the figure at 48 million
including 18 million in China. It is not known how many of these are serious
collectors.

2.3. According to Stanley Gibbons, rare stamps have averaged an annual compound
return of 10 per cent over the past 50 years.

8.1. So what about the Internet? An axiom of trading is that "price cannot go up in a
vacuum". For prices to rise, there must be some, limited supply. Then, when a
collector sees the availability of desirable things, and becomes aware that he
can purchase these things if he buys aggressively enough, he begins to do just
that, competing with other collectors who have discovered the same joy from
these items. The Internet has, almost overnight in historical terms, allowed
collectors and dealers around the world to offer items to collectors in these
expanding markets, soaking up the available supply in the rest of the world.
8.2. These are the growth markets for stamps in the future. Financially improved
adult populations in Asian and some Latin American countries are replacing, on
a global scale, the loss of the young population in the countries with a long
standing philatelic population.
