Buy or Bid with confidence! I've been selling and buying since the 90's (here at eBay as well as other auction sites). I'm a member of the APS and RPSC and have worked with stamp collectors world wide; I've also sold various other items of interest. If your not satisfied with your purchase then let me know and I'll refund all your money no questions asked - just send the items back as received.

SHIPPING NOTICE: eBay has changed a little bit since the last time I was selling. As such, your purchase is shipped USPS Advantage w/tracking number and packaged solid and secure by me.

My posting time: all items purchased after 3pm (PST/10pm UTC) on Fridays post the following Monday in the AM (our local PO is closed for shipping on weekends) and I absolutely perfer to delivery your items by hand to the PO. Thanks for your understanding!

Higher value stamps I sell ($100 plus) or combination thereof will have to ship Cert. or Registered for US delivery. Insurance is  included with the Cert/Reg option and international shipments require current postal rates via registered return receipt for delivery (outside the US this registration format is usually concluded by your local PO which controls the delivery reciept aspect). Please contact me about your shipping requirements, especially outside of the US so I can calculate and meet those requirements.

Cheers and thanks for stopping by! I'll be posting other items of interest from first day covers, letters with wax stamps, historic postings and a few off the wall items. Stop by if you get the chance.
