- Item Listings
My store caters to collectors of limited means who wish to expand their collections without going to the poor house. The stamps I sell run the entire range of quality grades, from Space Fillers (Faulty/Damaged) to Extremely Fine. The lower grades are most often found in 19th century and very early 20th century issues where Very Fine or better stamps are often down right rare.
I do not spend a lot of time grading my inventory. I do spend a lot of time making accurate scans of the stamps I sell so that the collector can be the judge when it comes to quality. On more expensive stamps I often scan both the front and back of the stamp, and usually note any serious flaws such as holes, thins, and missing or partial gum which may not show up clearly on even the best scan.
By letting the collector be the judge I am able to sell nearly all my stamps at 60% to 90% off 2008 Scott Catalogue values. Being human and less than perfect all the time, you may occasionally find minor errors in my descriptions. Rest assured, the scans shown are of the actual stamps for sale (except where noted in the listing for multiples). When in doubt, go by the scan, not the description. And if you do find any errors in my listings, please don't hesitate to bring them to my attention so I can correct them.
Thank You and Happy Hunting! Don O'Neal (Papaw Don)
