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.

King Albert I Type Houyoux Portrait of King Albert I by Leon Houyoux Born in
Brussels, Belgium, Leon Houyoux, became known for portrait and academic nude
painting and for stamp design. At the
age of 19 years, he followed the course of the Academy of Fine Arts in
Brussels and regularly traveled abroad where he observed the different
currents of the art of painting. However, he preferred to give all his
attention to developing his own style. In 1922, the Belgian Post issued a series of
stamps with the effigy of Albert King, designed by Leon Houyoux. |

Definition of Definitive Stamp A
definitive stamp is a stamp that is issued to serve as an all-purpose stamp,
and is produced for an extended period of time (weeks, months or in many
cases, years). They are almost always part of a series of stamps, called a
definitive series, where a wide range of denominations are issued. The entire
series may be issued at one time, or they may be issued over a span of years.
Most definitive series of stamps concentrate on a specific person or office
(such as a president, monarch, or prime minister) or a specific theme (such
as flags, buildings, or occupations). |
