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!

Money back guarantee if your not satisfied!

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).
