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.

service has cancelled (marked as used), but has not traveled through the post

can come from withdrawn stocks of stamps. Postal services of various
countries do this in response to collector demand. From Country in
Europe East
Germany, officially the German Democratic Republic, was a state that existed
from 1949 to 1990 in eastern Germany as part of the Eastern Bloc in the Cold
War. Commonly described as a communist state, it described itself as a
socialist "workers' and peasants' state". Wikipedia Germany
is a Western European country with a landscape of forests, rivers, mountain
ranges and North Sea beaches. It has over 2 millennia of history. Berlin, its
capital, is home to art and nightlife scenes, the Brandenburg Gate and many
sites relating to WWII. Munich is known for its Oktoberfest and beer halls,
including the 16th-century Hofbräuhaus. Frankfurt, with its skyscrapers,
houses the European Central Bank. ― Google |

Commemorative
Stamps 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. Commemoratives are easy to identify. They are one of a kind and record
historical events and prominent Americans. They’re easier to identify because
you do not have to determine the issue year and/or catalogue
number by perforations, color, watermarks, and/or errors. The best resources
for identifying the Scott number are with the websites Mystic Stamp Company
and/or Colnect. Have fun collecting stamps! |
