People's Republic of China Stamp Album; 495 Stamps from 1949 to 1990.

This 14 page Stock Book style album is chock full of stamps--from the People's Republic of China.  These stamps are mostly (but not all) Used, and in good condition.

The earliest stamp is #5 from 1949; the latest stamp is #2295-2300 from 1990.

Prices are attributed to most of the stamps or sets.  These prices were placed some time ago, and current catalog prices are higher.The collector of this album has indicated that the catalog price of this collection is above $1,200--at the time he/she priced it out.  A number of the stamps and sets carry a significant catalog value.  I have not fully determined the current catalog value, but it is higher than $1,200 by a lot.

The album is in good shape although there is a scratch across the leatherette cover.  The stamps themselves are beautifully curated and displayed in this stock-book-style album, with transparent protectors between the pages.

The People's Republic of China was formed by communists in 1949.  Previous to that time, the country was known (philatelically and numismatically speaking) as "China."  The Republic of China separated itself from the People's Republic, and occupied the island of Taiwan, off the coast of the mainland of Asia.  The political situation there continuese to be volatile.

Stamps from both entities are innovative and artistic.

Stamps (and coins) from China have been selling well in recent years.  One experienced dealer explained this to me by saying that citizens of Chinese origin are interested in claiming their cultural and artistic heritage.

We are offering this Stamp album for $410.  We will ship by priority padded envelope.

Grading:

Note – eBay may or may not add a sales tax depending on each state’s requirements. We do not collect it.  Also, we list our items for mostly sales in the U.S. The postage noted is for U.S. sales only. If you are not in the U.S., please be advised that eBay will add a separate shipping charge for their overseas shipping from Erlanger, KY. Again, we have no control over that amount. Thank You.

All grading is our best opinion based on the official ANA Grading Standards for coins, Friedberg or Cuhaj for currency and Scotts for stamps. Please examine the photos closely to form your own opinion as to grade and bid based on that.  We acknowledge that grading is semi-subjective and that a differ

ence of opinions can occur even among experts. If you decide to certify an item and it does not meet your grade expectation, that is a cost born by the buyer and is not a reason to return the item. This statement is not applicable if the item is already certified by a professional certification service like NGC, PMG or PCGS.

Authenticity:

We stand by the authenticity of every item we sell. We verify the provenance of our inventory prior to purchasing. We do not take any material we believe has been altered or we believe are forgeries. We refuse the material or destroy it if it is part of a large lot. If any coin, stamp or piece of currency we have sold proves to be a forgery or altered in any way, we will gladly refund your money.

Terms of Sale

Our return policy is simple. You are guaranteed to be satisfied. If you, as the buyer, are unhappy with your purchase, you will have 14 days in which to return it, no questions asked. The only exception to this deals with silver bullion. The price fluctuations in precious metals can sometimes be extreme, both up and down. When we sell bullion, we always sell under spot and let you know when the spot price was applied. If the price goes up, it is in your favor. If the price goes down, it is not a reason to return the bullion coins. Prices fluctuate – that is the precious metals market.

We are hopeful that the pictures and descriptions are such that there should be no reason to return an item. If you do wish to return the item for any reason, our return policy applies. If you do return an item, we will refund your payment minus shipping and handling costs upon receipt of the item or replace the item with an agreed upon substitute, again, after receipt of the item.

Should we feel that anyone is abusing the return policy such as sending back items repeatedly, it will be to our discretion as to whether to continue selling items to that individual.

Service:

E&L Coins strives to give 5 STAR service by providing quality coins, currency or stamps at a reasonable price. We state up front what our policies are, shipping rates and shipping frequency. When you give 4 STARS, it may seem like a great score for instance a 4 in Shipping Time means "Quickly", eBay, however, considers this to be a sub-par mark. Their standards require all sellers to maintain a 4.8 rating and above or be penalized with higher fees and more.

If you are pleased with a transaction, please respond with all 5 STARS – THANK YOU. We will ALWAYS provide a positive rating to you as the buyer once a payment has been made. We hope you will consider providing positive feedback to us upon receipt of your item. If you are not pleased, let us know via email and we will work to make it a 5 STAR experience.
