Engravings are a new category for the Cheeseheadpicker. I just bought over a thousand of them from a paper collector in Maryland to test the waters. The MW stamp and MW raised emblem on some of these is his mark. This batch is from the 19th century. Many have facsimile autographs. Many have been taken from books or print folios. Some may be stand alone items. All are original to the time. All have some expected wear including some foxing. Please check out the photos for condition questions. Basically what you see, is what you get. All will be shipped in plastic sleeves with cardboard. I will combine shipping. If an auction, please wait for an invoice. If a Buy It Now listing, go ahead and buy and I will refund the extra shipping charge.
I've recently acquired a LARGE amount of vintage paper from a collector's estate. I will be regularly adding it to my usual listings over the coming months. There are auto manuals, military paper, railroad stuff, food and recipe paper, political pamphlets, oddball magazines, entertainment paper --- just about any paper you can think of. Some of the items are rare and seldom seen. I will listing them both as auctions and buy it now items. Some if it is in perfect shape and some is in rough condition. Things to look out for in the photos are page yellowing, corner bumping, rips and tears, handwriting, etc. --- normal flaws in old paper. I will try and point out any other flaws I find. Closely check the photos out and get back to me if you have any questions. Please bookmark me and check back once in awhile for more fun paper.
THE FINE PRINT AND FAQS:
1. Carefully examine my studio-quality photographs. I do my best to document any flaws or issues. I tend to go overboard in showing flaws. I hate surprises when I buy on eBay as much as you do. I also do my best to accurately describe the items I find. Some categories I know better than others. I will tell you what I know and what I have researched. After that you are on your own. Please ask questions and I will help out if I can. Some eBayers have been very generous helping me out with the nuances of certain categories. Feel free to help me out with your knowledge. I welcome your expertise and enjoy learning about new stuff.
2. I basically sell "As Is." That said, I will accept returns if I have been negligent in my listing information. This includes outright mistakes, misrepresentations, or any errors on my part. I do not know everything about everything (don't tell my kids that please). If you are not sure about something and want to "try it out" at home before having "Buyer's remorse," please do not bid. Every auction or estate sale I go to is "as is." I do better than that with my return policy. I mess up once in a while and I have honored all returns. Please respect this policy.
3. I will combine shipping cost when possible. If you pay after buying more than one lot, I will refund some of the shipping cost.
