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!
Money back guarantee if your not satisfied!

TYPE |
Commemorative Stamp Commemorative
stamps are regular postage stamps issued to honor some event, activity, or
person of national importance; unlike other regular postage stamps (known as
definitives), they are printed only once and are allowed to go out of
circulation as their supply is used up. |

Cancel Type |
Slogan Cancels A
slogan cancellation is a machine cancel in the killer box that is combined
with the usual circular date stamp postmark and contains a brief message.
Slogan cancels sometimes may be referred to as "advertising"
cancels, although the slogan is usually some sort of public service message
with no private commercial purpose or intent. Wavy-Line Machine Cancel Universal Machine
Cancellation These cancellations, like those from the
International machines, are very common, and are immediately recognizable to
many people as "machine cancellations". Machines made by the
Universal Stamping Machine Company of New York first appear in 1909, and
various models were in use for many, many years. About 1920, Universal was
taken over by the Pitney-Bowes organization, but Universal machines remain on
the market to this day. |
