Please note that Canada Post is now sending back any international lettermail (including US) that has hard cardboard stiffeners and stating it must be sent by packet post. This is why some items may have a noticeably higher shipping cost than what would be expected. Items that are still sent through lettermail may have less stiffener material than previously used. This also means that should a lettermail rate item end up being rejected, I will either have to cancel the transaction and refund the purchase or you may choose to pay the difference for shipping costs (either Tracked Packet or Expedited Parcel) if you still want the item. This also means that a customs form is required for anything sent via packet/parcel and you may end up paying additional fees on your end when receiving the item. Please also assume that regardless of what shipping method is shown/charged (i.e. lettermail), particularly for higher priced items, I may ship by packet/parcel mail anyway (in those instances where I am opting to cover the additional shipping charges) and this may also result in customs/sales/VAT/other taxes on your end. Unfortunately, this issue with lettermail is outside of the control of sellers (or eBay) as it is per UPU guidelines. It does not apply to shipments inside of Canada.
I do consistently try to maintain the lowest possible prices for items but please feel free to make an offer on anything listed. Offers on multiple items are always appreciated and preferred and when able, I will do my best to make a deal happen! I offer combined shipping discounts when able and refund any difference in shipping costs paid. Thank you for your understanding. Happy Collecting!
This is from the estate of a collector who specialized in signed / autographed stamps, covers, and philatelic items. Some stuff he purchased from dealers and other things he sent away to have signed.
There are no certificates unless otherwise stated so the items are sold with no authentication guarantee. There may also be minor blemishes particularly on items he had sent away. Significantly large faults will be described.
Offers welcome especially on multiple lots. If interested in the entire signed collection, I would offer a considerable discount.
Please see photos for what is included and overall condition.
Tagging, phosphorous, paper types, flourescence, and other varieties of each issue have not been checked unless otherwise specified. The catalog number in the description is just used generically (ie # 772a could be variety 772ai, for example).
