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!

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).

Slogan Cancels

A slogan cancellation is a machine cancel in the killer box that is combined with the usual circular date stamp postmark and contains a brief message. Slogan cancels sometimes may be referred to as "advertising" cancels, although the slogan is usually some sort of public service message with no private commercial purpose or intent.

What is a Cancellation?

A cancellation is a postal marking applied on a postage stamp or postal stationery to deface the stamp and to prevent its reuse. Cancellations come in a huge variety of designs, shapes, sizes, and colors.
