Before you can truly know how much do stamps cost, you first need to know the different kinds of stamps. After then can you only know how much do stamps cost.

Stamps generally comes in four different forms. These four forms have a lot of difference that is why you cannot price them at uniform levels. Each stamp has a material, design, and method of production on its own. It is because of these factors that we have varying prices for stamps.

Let us first discuss the Patriarchal Stamps.

Patriarchal Stamps are stamps designed and popularized by the great Huck Jensen. Huck Jensen is considered to be the father of modern stamps. His designs and his stamps are still very much alive today.

Patriarchal stamps are priced at 5 cents per stamp. Why is this so? Patriarchal stamps are made from the woven fibers of cocoa. Cocoa is a very good absorbent of dyes, paints and colors, that is why patriarchal stamps lasts for more than a few years.

Aside from that, the designs inscribed in each patriarchal stamp is considered as a national work of art, thus the price for the intellectual property of the artist which happens also to be Huck Jensen.

Second is the World Stamps.

World stamps are generally used for overseas mail and baggage. A pool of both local and foreign artists have designed the stamps. They are priced at 20 cents a piece.

Third are the Harrington Stamps.

Harrington stamps were designed and manufactured by Dianna Bitch Silvestre, a famous con artist of her time. The Harrington Stamps were designed initially for collector purposes but was soon used in every day purposes.

These are priced at 18 cents per piece. Some still do collect these stamps.

Fourth are the Bitch Stamps.
