RETAIL VALUE

2018 BROOKMAN CATALOGUE VALUE IS $7.35 - $9.55

This listing is for one set of 5 stamps as shown. It is the 10c Canal Boat from the third transportation issue 1987 to 1994. They were the thirty fourth coil design added to the set.

The 10c stamps met the surcharge for First Class non machinable oversized letters. It was also frequently used as a utility rate in combination with other stamps.

We occasionally use Brookman minor numbers like "s" and "v" for variety because Scott numbers are inadequate. Technically, 2257s is not a real number but useful to identify this variety. All five stamps are described by Scott as the color 'blue' but there are definite shade variations across the set.

If you purchase 2 sets we will automatically ship pairs.

  

  • Stock photo. The actual stamps may be different from this display, however we guarantee that they will be comparable or better condition or fully refunded. The logos are watermarked into the images. They are not printed on the actual stamps. The black background display mount is not included. For pane singles the straight edge position may vary. For se-tenant blocks/strips the position order will always be exactly as pictured.

  • Scott order. We always ship sets of stamps in this order (left to right) as pictured and/or stacked (top to bottom).

  • Stamps, especially coils may have a natural curl. Gummed sheet stamps will often have gum breaker ridges. Self adhesives will have straight even cuts and margins edges.

  • Purchasing is self service. If you need help please feel free to contact us for an invoice. We typically will not send a manual invoice because we have no way of knowing when you are done shopping unless you ask.

  • Please pay combined by using the shopping cart. You will receive individual notifications from eBay with payment information after each item. You are free to combine and pay at any time that you are ready. Payments should be made within "reasonable time" following the purchase.

  • Help save us money by not paying immediately for single items one at a time. Simply add them to your cart and then checkout and pay once. Please message us at any time. We welcome all questions and comments.

  • Items will be shipped together (even if you ignore these polite reminders and pay separately). Shipping is always free to USA. We actually lose money on shipping and have not raised our rates in 20 years! The security of your order is guaranteed by our special packaging.

  • We ship daily. We have no control over the speed of mail, but have found the USPS to be very reliable. Tracking is provided when available.

  • We ship internationally but not to every country in the world. Please verify postage rates before purchasing. Large International orders will be shipped via US Registered Mail at current rates. Please understand that Registered International mail might take as long as a month to deliver after we have posted it and patience is appreciated.

  • Feedback is left following the conclusion of each transaction. We do not immediately leave feedback after payment. The transaction is not over until you have your stamps and we know that all is well. The fastest way to receive feedback is to leave it for us and we should soon respond in turn. We post feedback daily.

  • We always leave feedback for each positive transaction. There is never a need to ask us. We never send messages to customers asking for feedback but hope that everyone will choose to leave a positive.

  • We offer a 30-day NQA money back guarantee or replacement. Simply ask and we will work diligently to address any concerns that you might have with your order. We strive to be competitive in all aspects of the eBay market. If for any reason you are unhappy we hope that you will contact us for quick resolution.

  • Concerns with your order? We would rather work things out but reserve the right to refuse service to anybody at any time. Stamp collectors as a whole are very honest people. A few bad apples attempt to manipulate the system for personal gain or other reasons. Those parties are blocked.

  • We sincerely hope that a block is not necessary, but politely ask blocked bidders not to contact us.
