Is this from some pamphlet? ("Appendix") -- Menchi 03:08 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Stan- Thanks for your suggestions. I'm in the process of polishing this article.
A)I'm modifying the article to put the whole of it into the third person.
B) Re: making it more "timeless," this is somewhat more problematic, since many of the examples used to illustrate various points relate to recent or current aspects of the stamp market; perhaps I should eliminate the investment "tips" given in the appendices
C) Re: citing authorities- unfortunately, there aren't any. Stamp Investing is a "new frontier" as far as tangibles investing goes; while there is a vast amount of philatelic literature, there are very few books on stamp investing, and the few that exist are overly general and not very useful; perhaps I should include an expanded list of useful books and publications, however; perhaps I should also dig up some old stamp catalogues and quote the relevant comparative prices from them to give greater credibility to some of the past trends that I describe; this would take quite a bit of work, however
This article really needs to be broken up into sections so a TOC can be generated for it. It'll make the article much more accessible/useful. I'd do it, but I'm out of my element with this article. — Frecklefoot 18:07, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)
What is a TOC? I'm a wiki-newbie.
Stan- I don't think I'm sophisticated enough to add a linkable TOC.
Perhaps this article should be rolled into a section on the Stamp Collecting article. The information seems obscure and unnecessary.

This is lacking citations, references and sources, and was mainly written by a stamp dealer in the days when providing verifiable reliable sources was not such a big thing. While much of the prose may be ok and not just a historical viewpoint, it needs significant citations to support the prose; preferably at least one citation per paragraph.

It seems Stanley Gibbons Investment Indices are not available now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by St220 ( talk • contribs) 13:11, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
The newly created Financial philately article is covering the same field. AllyD ( talk) 12:07, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
