The StampAuctionNetwork Top 1000 (200 US, 200 Canada, 500 Worldwide, and 100 Rarities with a separate category for Postal History) are the 1000 premium Stamps, Covers, Blocks, and Pairs that
are statistically the most likely to be offered as a single lot.
How we came up with the Rankings. Starting from our $2.5 Billion database of 2.0 million lots going back to 2001, we took the top 2000 items by number of Lots Offered.
This selection was done based on the country, catalog number and symbol (Covers, Blocks, Pairs, Mint NH, Mint, unused and used).
For each stamp we then ranked them by Supply, Demand, Maximum Price, and Average Price and came up with a general ranking where we weighted each of those
criteria equally to come up with a weighted ranking.
We did the same for Worldwide but started with 5000 Items and ranked them down to the top 500. Rarities were calculated by only looking at lots that sold for over $50,000.
Postal History is in two lists, the Rarities and the Covers with high demand and supply.
You can see the results below. We welcome your comments, suggestions, and analysis. Are these really the top items?
Which ones do you think should make the list but did not? Let me know.

Whether you are concerned with the value of your collection or not, it is wise to consider the market
as you build a collection. These statistics can provide accurate historical data to demonstrate which stamps and
covers are most likely to be sold as individual lots. They will also provide comparative data as to the market
supply and demand for a particular stamp or cover. The reasoning is that
if you are building a collection by buying every individual stamp separately, when you go to sell it,
you will find that the items with market value are offered separately while the rest will be sold as a collection.
You can anticipate that situation by buying the better items singly, and picking up the rest from collection lots.
