This is a "stock item" and I use a "stock scan" for identification purposes. The quality of the stamp or cover you receive will match (or exceed!) the written description, though it may look slightly different from the item in the scan.

     MINIMUM ORDER, $10 PLEASE.
     If you buy several lots, please load up the Shopping Cart and pay ONCE, when you're finished ordering.
     PLEASE DON'T PAY AFTER EACH LOT.
     Postage for multiple lots is always discounted; you'll never pay more than the actual shipping charges.
     If you're buying several lots and the eBay checkout system hands you a postage bill which is off the charts, you can either:
     1.  Request a total from me BEFORE you pay (in which case I can dig into their system and adjust the postage charge).... or
     2. Just pay the whole thing, and when I fill your order, I'll adjust the charges and send you a refund.

I'm a dinosaur on the internet, making my customers happy the old-fashioned way, just as I've done thru the mail since 1971.

     SATISFACTION is ALWAYS GUARANTEED! As an ASDA member I stand behind what I sell. Any item I fail to properly describe may be returned within 7 days for a full refund, plus shipping costs.
     N.Y. STATE residents must pay the Sales Tax of the County in which they live.
     EBAY currently collects Sales Tax for 30+ states, as well as NY.
     OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS, please don't ask me to misrepresent the value of your order so you can avoid import fees or the V.A.T..

ALL SMALL, "FLAT" SHIPMENTS - stamps, Cinderella Items, Postal Stationery, Postal History and First Dav Covers - will be shipped in a Calumet hard cardboard mailer. (See the scan at the right.) This mailer offers much greater protection than bubble wrap, and is only a little heavier and more costly to ship.

     Larger items will be shipped in corrugated mailers.

     If you buy several lots, the shipping charges will be reduced.  See the WHITE PRINT above for details.

U.S. SHIPPING CHARGES for this item are $3.00 for a USPS First Class Package. Insurance is FREE.

WORLDWIDE SHIPPING CHARGES for this item are roughly:
$11.00 for an International First Class Package to Canada
$12.00 for an International First Class Package to Mexico
$14.00 for an International First Class Package to the rest of the world.

A FINAL WORD - ABOUT MY SCANS: What you get will be BETTER than what you see! Computer scans often show darker or lighter areas which aren't on the actual item, and the larger the object to be scanned, the more areas will be affected. Plus, I scan using a "cover sheet" to hold the item in place, and the plastic cover can creates glare. And, I often use shortcuts because I just don't have the time to scan every item I sell; I sometimes have to recycle an old scan to illustrate a new item.

ALWAYS GO WITH THE DESCRIPTION! Your item may look a LITTLE different from the scan, but it will match the description 100%.....and it will ALWAYS be a top-quality item. My feedback on EBAY speaks for itself.
