The one cent black on magenta stamps is very rare. Only one copy is known to have survived out of a very small number of stamps. It was found by a young boy in his attic and sold to a collector. It is in very bad condition, but is still very valuable.

Are foreign stamps worth anything?
Like all collectibles, it depends on supply and demand. One of the most valuable stamps in the world is a used, torn, poor conditioned stamp from British Guiana. But it is the only known copy of 24 that were printed. Common stamps used today are probably low value and hardly worth keeping as an investment, but can still be educational and fun to collect.
