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!

ATM Label

(Automated teller machine)

(from vending machine)

On the 2nd of January 1981, German federal post office (DBP - Deutsche Bundespost) introduced vending machines for variable value postage stamps. With this solution, the machine printed a user specified amount on a blank label at the point of purchase.

As postal rates vary and changed over time, it was possible to imprint any value ranging from 5 to 9995 pfennig. With the introduction of euro, this range is now between 0.01 and 36.81€.

Several different vending machines were introduced to the market over time, which resulted in different types of imprints. In combination with different labels, variable value stamps represent an interesting area of philately.
