Actually a late friend of mine used to buy huge lots of stamps that
were originally bought by collectors - which sold so many they had
no collectible value.

He'd enter contests by sticking several 3 cent commerorative stamps
from the WWII era on his entries - which he said upped his chances.

He could buy those at below face value - as people would by sheets
of those stamps to save - and find that they couldn't sell them
even at face value - and didn't think to use them on their own
mail.
