Best Stamp Shop Saint Louis Near Me

Shell Kaesebier: Took my father's detailed collection and the owner wouldn't even give me the time of day basically. "My expectations are to high" per his statement. We hadn't discussed pricing, outside of I knew typically a dealer pays 30-32% of cat value.Waste of time.

Fred Heberer: Very helpful.

Konichi Wawa: Mr. Semsrott is a kind and fair appraiser. He obviously has a wealth of knowledge that that would serve a novice collector well. Go in armed with an idea of what kind of stamps (country, range of years and anything else that strikes your fancy) you like.

Jessica Hildebrand: Verry nice, extremely knowledgeable, told me stamps were worthless but he was very pleasant to talk to, and insightful.

superbug1977: This is the best shop in our region. If you are a novice or an avid collector, this is the place. Stamps, albums, pages, equipment, knowledge--this place offers all of these and more. It is rare to find such a good shop like this anymore. Well worth the visit.

M e “MotherOF3”: Thanks David

Brian Johnston: I found them to be very easy to deal with and David spent the necessary time to go through my stamp collection. I felt he was very fair in his assessment.

Beverly Wooten: It was pleasant the gentleman was real respectable help me with my stamps even though they wouldn't worth anything he was Curtis see with me and patient so if you got any stamps that you think need to be looked at he's in Kirkwood you got to go around to the back he's in the back of the building behind 11 239 Manchester behind the jewelry store and I guess that's the cake place behind the building have fun

Matt May: He never ask me what was in my collection but yet td me he didnt want to see it cause all of them are to common. Not sure but i guess he is also a psychic

Beth V: David has always been so great with my kids and helping to quietly develop their interest in stamps. He's not a salesman, but he is a kind and knowledgeable gem. My kind of shop owner! 🙂

Sean Sunderlage: Dave is a good guy and a great asset to the stamp collecting community, and operates the last true storefront stamp shop in St. Louis. He offered supplies, literature, and, of course stamps and postal history.Just a word of advice to folks who may have a collection that was inherited: most likely it is worth very little, and stamp dealers will have little/no interest.There are stamp shows in St. Louis that are held several times per year. Your best bet would be to visit one of those shows and talk to several dealers and ask if they'd be willing to inspect the collection (don't bring it in with you, leave it in your car). Take pictures of the albums, stock books, cigar boxes, envelopes, etc. that that stamp are in, then take some pictures of pages of stamps from some of the more widely collected countries: U.S., Germany, France, Great Britain, Scandinavia, China, and Japan, for example. This will give the dealer a pretty good idea of what the collection is comprised of, and if there is any "value" to it, and she/he may ask you to bring it in at that point (or, it a local dealer, to set an appointment).Just because the stamps are old (100 years plus) doesn't mean they are worth much -- billions of stamps have been printed worldwide!If, as most turn out, that it doesn't have any real monetary value, consider passing it along to a youngster, keeping it for yourself and learning from it, or perhaps donate it to the Scouts (a lot of collections are donated!). If, by chance, you have something of value, be sure to have several dealers take a look at it.Remember, someone got a lot of "value" in enjoyment out of that collection, probably far, far more that the value of the stamps themselves, it was a way to unwind learn!

Patrickm Phelps: Called to find out more about my stamp collection. Talked to the owner and he was very rude to me for no apparent reason. Not only was he rude, but he hung up the phone on me before I could finish my sentence. Really think you need to pass up on this one.

Kent De Bejar: Nice guy good info loved our talk. This is the kind of place that is disappearing.

Bonnie Kessler: Not very helpful at all. He barely looked at my collection.

Jodi Clark: He was friendly but acted like he couldn't really be bothered with us.

Bill J: He marked an item I wanted sold, put it away in a cabinet for me to pic up the following week and said he would hold it for me. My wife was with me when this arrangement was made. Went back to pick it up and he said he didn't have it anymore and he told me 'stuff happens'. He did try to sell me a similar book for $125.00 more than the one he was to hold for me. I will not go back nor do any business with this man again.

Allie Abdeljabbar: My experience was amazing! I received my notary stamp immediately after submitting my confirmation. The stamp works well, is eco friendly, and the pricing is very decent compared to the chain office places. Thank you for a great experience and for gaining me as a customer.

Brian Baker: I designed and submitted a custom stamp on their website (very easy! just submit any file or use the wizard on the website) at 2:30am. They opened at 8:30am, and my stamp was ready for pickup at 2:30pm the same day. That's essentially a 6hr turnaround time.The stamp is perfect and is 1:1 with the layout I submitted.Really amazing service and lightning fast to boot. They answer their phones immediately and are able to answer any questions you have.Barnard will definitely be my first choice for these types of things from now on.

Terence B: Fast turnaround. Great old style stamps.

Gregory Jevyak: This company is a St Louis gem. I've ordered assorted custom stamps and address stamps from them over the years. Easy to work with, helpful, good suggestions, fast production with quick shipping. You can use their website to order online or if you have artwork you can email it to them to request a quote. They get back to you quickly during their business hours. I would recommend this business to everyone who needs stamps, notary seals, and marking devices.

K D: They are the only place we order our rubber stamps & self-inking stamps from. We’ve been ordering from them for years. Always fast service. The staff have always been so friendly every time. We will continue to use Barnard Stamp for our stamp needs.

Eugene Hoelker: Unbelievably fast. Great to work with them. I have reordered different stamps from them several times now and have not been disappointed.
