With this experience comes a critical eye; even at the risk of being deemed too strict, we consider an objective description of quality to be indispensable.

Expertizing and Expertizing areas

Past, present and future

Together, the members of Philatelic.Experts have more than a century of philatelic expertising experience. The entire breadth of experience is made available to our clients, as every item submitted to us for examination will be reviewed by all four members of the Philatelic.Experts team. Our focus is on the expertization of rare philatelic items of the world typically with a commercial value of 2,000 Euros and up. We will, however, not expertize items which are currently expertized by a member of the German Philatelic Experts Association (BPP). Furthermore, BPP expertizing fields currently handled by members of Philatelic.Experts will continue to be handled as individuals under the BPP format; details and a current list of BPP expertizers may be found at www.bpp.de

As BPP members, we follow the organization’s guidelines, philatelic definitions, and quality standards, and make use of the latest technology available to us. Through the extensive resources available to us, we also highlight the provenance of your philatelic items whenever possible. With our strict quality standards, trend-setting technology, and world-class research tools, collectors benefit from an expertizing experience that is ahead of its time.
