Grading vintage stamps, First Day Covers (FDC’s) is a subjective process.
As a philatelist, I do my best to put a fair value on items at a bargain price!
I do careful research before listing an item in order to determine an honest price.
I determine the value of vintage stamps & FDC’s by using the Scott Catalog AND by
the age, the rarity, the condition, the country, and the interest of the item’s subject.
Buy with confidence!

1956 3¢ Pure Food and Drug Act Harvey Washington Wiley U.S. #1080 marks the 50th anniversary of the Pure Food and
Drug Act, passed in 1906. The Act was landmark legislation that improved
consumer protection. It was passed in response to growing public awareness of
practices in food preparation and medicine. Certain drugs, like alcohol,
cocaine, heroin, morphine, and cannabis, had to be accurately labeled and
identified. The Act paved the way for the founding of the Food and Drug
Administration. Of special interest: FDR – The
Stamp-Collecting President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s mother introduced the future
President to stamp collecting at a young age. Throughout his life, he turned
to his collection to relax and unwind. |
