Ex-Dr. Alan York (1925-2014), who is pictureed. I am a coin dealer. I paid 5-10% of what I was told was Scott catalog value, because Alan was a customer and the money went to his daughter. I hope I get most of it back.

I've sold a few dozen philatelic lots, mostly related to China, and the buyers all seem to have been pleased. There have been some non-payers, from the USA, China and France, so at some point I will be re-listing some nice stamps.

POSTAGE. In the USA, you pay postage only on the first stamp lot you win, thus 2.95 maximum.. Postage is free on the rest. If I make you a second-chance-offer? Same deal.

OVERSEAS POSTAGE is $19.99, Airmail/Registered, and again, you only pay postage for the first stamp, unless you buy a stamp that is extra heavy.

SALES TAX in New York State, even if not on the invoice eBay sends you.

I am a rare coin dealer with a street-level store in NYC, where you can view my stamps BY APPOINTMENT.

I do deal in stamps when used as currency --mainly encased postage from Europe. post-WW1.

I have the largest inventory of art, commemorative & historical medals --50,000+ pieces. I have medals of stamp exhibitions. I have never met a philatelist who had the slightest interest in them, but the pretty ones sell.
