Please read all description!

For best combined shipping rates please use street address at checkout if ordering more than one of these albums.

United States pages: yes

Binder notes: Solid. Spine text matches pages - Added label. Review. Please confirm for yourself see photos. Shelf wear. Average plus condition binder for its age. Spine improved with library quality fabric tape.

Pages notes: Very nice. Expect possible minor shelf wear from moving about. Pages well above average for a 'used' album. GREAT album to continue using.  See pics. Appears only lightly used. See notes below for more details of pages. Couple creased pages possible at very front and rear of album. 

Great album to add to your collection!

Stamp notes: Stamps seen..... Few stamps seen. A TOTAL GUESS.   Scattered stamps maybe 500-700 (guess). Varies from below description as not really picked in Germany or loaded in Russia for example. More used in this album than others in group. Generally more like most albums I see. Good to add to and use. 

PLEASE READ ADDITIONAL NOTES BELOW CONCERNING THIS COLLECTION.

Concerning this group of Scott International albums (INT14-X).

Albums and pages are in average to above average condition depending on volume. All will make excellent additions to your collection. Expect shelf wear and maybe a bump here or there from shipping. Overall this group is very good for a used collection.

You will find these albums with a start on stamps. They are scattered about with some concentrations. More mint stamps than usually seen. Most stamps in mounts with some having been removed leaving empty mounts. Generally Russia is loaded with stamps in mounts often with SS and panes too. German areas and Vatican City are usually void of stamps but contain mounts. Other counties are hit and miss with none, few or most stamps picked depending on volume.

Pages are very nice overall. Expect some shelf wear and normal use wear. Some writing noticed on flipping. It varies with volume so please review specific notes above. Nothing obnoxious. All volumes contain some empty mounts in some countries.  Empty mounts are, with very occasional exception, in good condition ready for stamps. No mounts seen removed so no page damage from mount removal. Pages look very good overall and I have seen no issue with page holes. I will reinforce any noticed with damage. I use library quality tape. Hole repair is not considered a defect as these are used albums. Pages appear intact but there is no way for me to be 100% sure so page completeness is not assured.

Binders are used and in good condition.  MOST of the binders have text on the spine.  Albums are very solid and will give you years of service. Expect typical wear. They are generally average to above average condition. Some will have been improved with library quality fabric tape. I will note above.

I will try to note exceptions. Please review photos.

Oversize jumbo binders may not lend themselves to easy combinations for mailing. I will try my best to save you some money on multiple album purchases. I do shy away from 3 or more albums in one box mailings as it is hard on the binders often at little or no savings.

Any notes above this line are more specific to this auction generally outlining condition.

Generally, a disclaimer applied to all auctions.....

Stamps EXPECT faulty! Many nice stamps (unless noted above otherwise) but these are old albums and you should not expect all stamps to be fault free. I do not count stamps with a fault that I notice. Stamps are in mixed condition. I have viewed thousands of albums. Comments are made based on my experiences and may not be reflective of the albums you have viewed. I do not look at many stamps closely....again expect faults!

Some stamp estimates are roughly fast counted estimates other numbers are simply a guess. Consider any count numbers only a guide......a ROUGH ESTIMATE... a GUESS.  Often I was doing two things at once so mistakes could have happened!

Albums and pages - Expect faults. I try to note. Some could be hidden (like loose pages). Some albums I sell are well over 100 years old. Some are like new. They vary! Some could be improved with library quality paper and fabric tapes. Page holes could be reinforced. These are not considered defects as these are used albums and pages. Both could include owner’s marks and notations on pages. Page completeness cannot be assured. I try to review but there is no way for me to be certain all pages are intact unless wrapped and new.

Common 3 ring binders – Condition is given little consideration as they are so common and easily replaced. Review photos for condition.

I have tried to note any exceptions.

Generally, postage can be combined. I try to cover my costs and not make money on postage. Sometimes the combined postage saving is great....sometimes not so much, just depends on the material. eBay Global purchases are not able to be combined.

If you notice extended shipping times it is due to conflicts I see that could cause a delay the day the auction closes.....work, travel, family, weather...... I try to ship within 24 hours of your payment. My default shipping is set at three days. Sometimes an unknown delay is unavoidable and I usually try to send a note. Do not expect weekend shipment. Basically, I ship VERY fast unless I cannot!

I only ship out of the United States using the eBay Global Shipping Program. I cannot get around it if you purchase and eBay does not ship to your location. I cannot cancel the transaction. I am locked out of the transaction until you pay. Please do not purchase if your country is not shipped to by eBay Global Shipping Program. Import or other charges that could be imposed by others are your responsibility and out of my control. eBay Global purchases are not able to be combined.

I will combine postage on most United States destination items depending on packaging needed to ship the item. Please ask for a revised shipping invoice before paying your eBay invoice.

Positive feedback is automatically left for you after you do same for me. Otherwise, I tend to leave feedback every 3-4 weeks.

My local post office is very small with limited hours and services. I do not ship out of country unless using the eBay Global Shipping Program.

Shipments mailed Monday to Friday. Saturday hours are VERY limited at post office.

I recycle all the shipping containers and packing material I can and use those for my shipments. Doing my part to save the world one mailing at a time.   

Please read all below!

Everything sold as is. I am not able to accept returns. Please be sure the material and terms meet your needs.
