***************************************************************************************************************************

I liquidate philatelic estates for heirs, families, trustees, and executors, and I have taken on a bit too much lately, so you will see a lot of listings!  I have been APS (and SPA before that!) for 40 years and was China Stamp Society and ISJP for years. 

I will always combine shipping and cut costs on multiple orders, but PLEASE wait for my invoice with combined purchases!  Typically, if a lot is displayed on a stockpage, or an album page, I do NOT ship the page unless specifically noted, to save on shipping costs for you and for me!

FULL 100% GUARANTEE: I try and verify everything I list but occasionally I get something wrong - please be assured, everything is fully guaranteed, and I will correct a mistake if I can, and repay expertizing if you get an expertizing opinion that is negative- which has never happened to me. 

I use First Class Mail almost exclusively.  Within the USA it usually takes two weeks for delivery.  Mail disruptions due to staff shortages are common.  International mail is also facing long delivery times – expect 4 weeks for delivery to Asia!     I also completely guarantee delivery, even if we do not have tracking on a specific shipment and will refund any lost shipment.  Buy with confidence!

TRACKING NUMBER NOTE: I usually use USPS first class mail because 1) most stamps fit in a letter sized envelope 2) I also use US vintage, collectible postage stamps from all periods to post the letters because most of my customers like it.  However, eBay provides tracking with their labels, so if you want that instead of real stamps on envelopes, or other special services, especially outside the USA, just let me know and we can work out costs.   When I mail your purchase, I mark it as shipped on eBay. 

HOW TO FOLLOW MY SALES:   Click “View seller’s other items” at the top right of this page, then “Name” the search, use the drop-down box to “12 Months” and click “Save”. That is all there is to it.   

Thanks for your business!
