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!

I guarantee all items listed.

If you're not satisfied, I offer hassle free refunds.

For combined shipping and any other advertised discounts,

please add all items to cart and then checkout.
