The Auction:

This is a COMPLETE 4257a and 4262a set of ten stamps FVF and MNH. It is the 2008 Tropical Fruits issue with Scott numbers 4253 to 4257 and 4258 to 4262. The sheet stamps are serpentine die cut 11¼ x 10¾ and the coils are serpentine die cut 8½ vert.

The strips are in Scott catalogue order as shown. Ethel Kessler designed the 27c self-adhesives and they were printed by Ashton-Potter (USA) Ltd. (APU) and by Avery Dennison (AVR). The stamps feature bright illustrations of cut fruit on a pastel rainbow background. Twenty Seven cents met the USPS Postcard rate from May 2008 until May 2009. The 1 year rate period was relatively brief. At the time of printing these were the only 27c stamps ever issued by the USPS.

The coil is not a PNC strip of 5. The stamps are guaranteed to be problem free with straight end cuts and full original backing paper. All stamps have been carefully taken from clean stock.

• Stock photo. The actual stamps may be different from this display, however we guarantee that they will be comparable or better condition or fully refunded. The logos in the images are added digitally and are not printed on the actual stamps. The black background display mount is not included. For pane singles the straight edge position may vary. For blocks/strips the position order will always be exactly as pictured.

• Purchasing is self service. If you do not understand our terms please feel free to contact us for an invoice. We typically will not send a manual invoice because we have no way of knowing when you are done shopping until you ask.

• You will need to please pay combined. You will receive individual notifications from eBay with payment information after each item. You are free to combine and pay at any time that you are ready. Payments should be made within "reasonable time" following purchase. If this is not possible then please contact us ahead of time to make payment arrangements.

• Please do not pay for items separately (one at a time). This increases the fees that both eBay and PayPal charge us. Higher business costs means that we have to raise our stamp prices.

• Example - When purchasing more than 1 item, please Do Not immediately click confirm and pay now after each item that has been clicked buy now. Simply wait until you have all the items you want and then pay all together in one payment. Payment should automatically combine. If it does not please contact us.

• If you need to use checkout, please do it once to request a combined invoice. Please message us at any time. We welcome all questions or comments!

Important information about Shipping & Feedback

Regarding Shipping:

• Items will be shipped together (even if you ignore these polite reminders and pay separately).

• Shipping is always free to USA. We actually lose money on shipping and have not raised our rates in over 15 years!

• The security of your order is guaranteed by our special packaging. Tracking is provided when available.

• We ship Internationally but not to every country in the world. Please verify postage rates before purchasing. Large International orders will be shipped via US Registered Mail at current rates. Please understand that Registered International mail might take as long as a month to deliver after we have posted it and patience is appreciated.

• We always ship at earliest convenience. This means that a mail-run may occur multiple times a day. We have no control over the speed of mail, but have found the USPS to be very reliable. We strive to be competitive in all aspects of the eBay market. If for any reason you are unhappy we hope that you will contact us for quick resolution.

Regarding Feedback:

• Feedback is left following the conclusion of each transaction. Feedback is not left immediately because the transaction is not over until you have your stamps and we know that all is well. The fastest way to receive feedback is to leave it for us and we should soon respond in turn.

• We always leave feedback for each positive transaction. There is never a need to ask us. We never send messages to customers asking for feedback but hope that they will choose to leave a positive.

• We would rather work things out but reserve the right to refuse service to anybody at any time. Stamp collectors as a whole are very honest people. A few bad apples attempt to manipulate the system for personal gain or other reasons. These parties are blocked. We politely ask blocked bidders not to contact us.
