We ar2 deeply saddened to announce that we lost Uncle Shelby in early 2017. Fortunately, he passed quietly in his sleep without suffering. Prior to his passsing, he had entrusted us with over 80,000 lots, 53,000 of which we have sold over 17 years. His heirs wish us to continue his legacy by selling the remainder of the estate, which includes a number of banker boxes still unsorted. In addition, he had acquired over the years a large worldwide holding of which we were unaware. His heirs have asked us to liquidate that material in the same fashion as we have the U.S. material. We expect to start that liquidation within weeks with foreign auctions on Wednesday and Saturday and continuing U.S. auctions on Thursday and Sunday.

Stay tuned for more Uncle Shelby excitement!

Any item or lot described with faults is not returnable because of faults. Lots with 10 or more items are not returnable for any reason. Requests for expertising extensions must be approved prior to placing your bid so the sale can be held open if the consignor agrees. Please allow sufficient time for the approval process, especially if a weekend is involved, since we are seldom available on Friday-Sunday.

All used and mint individual stamps and sets are sound (i.e., free of faults) unless otherwise stated. All mint stamps will have original gum unless noted to the contrary. Large lots of 25 stamps or more may have mixed condition unless described as mint, never hinged.

Given repeated abuses by non-paying bidders with few or zero positive feedbacks, we now require all bidders to have at least 10 positive feedbacks from at least 3 different vendors. Exceptions are made only with prior approval. California residents must pay 8.50% sales tax. Thank you.

Now let the parade of Uncle Shelby's stamps continue! His lots have been numbered 1, 2, 3, etc... consecutively until he runs out!

For the forseeable future, Uncle Shelby U.S. lots will be listed on Thursday and Sunday nights.
Uncle Shelby Foreign lots will be listed on Wednesday and Saturday nights.
International shipping rates will vary depending on Winning Bid total. Shipping table will be updated soon. Please inquire regarding international shipping rates.
