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.

Historic Stamps FROM THE PAST Vintage 1962 USA
Commemorative Stamp |

|
U.S. #1197 1962 4¢ Louisiana Statehood U.S. #1197 showcases the 150th anniversary of the addition of
Louisiana as a U.S state. It was added in 1812, just nine years after
President Thomas Jefferson authorized the Louisiana Purchase. The stamp
pictures a steamboat, which was a common sight on the Mississippi River. New
Orleans was a major trading port, and steamboats brought goods there from the
length of the Mississippi. Of special interest: FDR
– The Stamp-Collecting President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s mother introduced the
future President to stamp collecting at a young age. Throughout his life, he
turned to his collection to relax and unwind. |

Commemorative Stamp Commemorative
stamps are regular postage stamps issued to honor some event, activity, or
person of national importance; unlike other regular postage stamps (known as
definitives), they are printed only once and are allowed to go out of
circulation as their supply is used up. |

Cancel Type |
HAND STAMPED POSTMARK (Lower right corner on this stamp.) Handstamped
cancellations are cancellations added by means of a hand stamping device. The
stamp cancellation marks serve as the testimony of every mail's adventures.
You can usually find two inscriptions on a mailed envelope: a stamp cancel
and a postmark. A postal cancel is any mark used to deface or “cancel” a
postage stamp and prevent its unlawful reuse. |
