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!
