Lists & Specialties

USA AND FOREIGN LISTS: Below are all the stamps I have in stock in for trade/sale in your collecting area. Stamps with a 2015 Scott retail of 90 cents or more will be listed. If you need low value stamps you can either send want list or look through the country collection packets listed on the specials page. Minimum price of any stamp from want list is 10 cents.

The condition of the stamps listed will range from seconds to extra fine. Unused stamps will range from no gum to no-hinge. In most cases I have multiples of the listed numbers so I should be able to send you the condition you would like to have. Let me know which condition(s) you desire.

Most of the stamps on these lists are sound. Most F-VF stamps will sell for 35-50% of 2009 Scott retail. Average/fine will go for 20-40%. Sound straight edge will be 30% less the above prices. Seconds are available on some issues. Many high value stamps before 1920 are available as seconds. All seconds will look decent but have small fault(s). Price for seconds will range 10-25%. Space fillers are also available for less than 10%. No hinge stamps are available on request. For no hinge and exceptional centering the appropriate premiums will be added. Most modern unused stamps come in NH condition at the F-VF price.

If you are interested in trading I have several options. I will take any gummed USA postage at 95% face value verses my cash prices. I will also take no gum or damaged postage at 85% face. I will accept postage in multiples, duplicates, blocks, sheets etc. I will trade at even 2009 Scott catalog for postage.

I am trying to liquidate my foreign stock. I will trade off my foreign stock for the following: 1) USA and territories better that I am not overstocked in. I especially need back of the book, proofs, revenues etc. 2) I collect bicolored or multicolor unused engraved stamps of the world. I am advanced but need stamps of the French colonies area as well as the rest of the world. I have a want list if you have such stamps. 3) Will consider trades of a batch of my lower value stamps for a few of your high value stamps at even catalog value and condition. 4) Will consider other trades. Let me know what you have in mind. Please call or write before sending any stamps besides USA postage.

Please request the numbers you want in the condition(s) you will accept. Let me know how much net value you would like in each approval selection. Every item will be priced according to the above criteria. You will then be given a discount price for the whole lot of at least 10% (orders over $25) and up to 35% on very large orders. Discounts do not apply for trades.

Satisfaction is guaranteed. All Items are returnable within 1 week of purchase. APS Members and previous customers will get stamps on approval before they pay. All others pay in advance with money back guaranteed if not completely satisfied.
