I liquidate philatelic estates for heirs, families, trustees, and executors, and I have taken on a bit too much lately, so you will see a lot of listings!  I have been APS (and SPA before that!) for 40 years and was China Stamp Society and ISJP for years. 

I 100% guarantee everything, including delivery, with no exceptions.  If there is an issue, I will take returns anytime for any reason and refund fully.

I combine shipping and cut costs on multiple orders always (PLEASE wait for my invoice with combined purchases!) 

I will gladly work out volume discounts if you want to buy $50 or more of items.  I do NOT generally like offers 1c, 25c or $1 below my opening – it is a bit cheap and disrespectful.  I will listen if you think I have something wrong, however!  Also, I will usually end an auction for an offer at or above my open if it makes sense.

I try and verify everything I list but occasionally I get something wrong - please be assured, everything is fully guaranteed, and I will correct a mistake if I can, and repay expertizing if you get an expertizing opinion that is negative- which has never happened to me.  Buy with confidence!

I use First Class Mail almost exclusively and domestically it usually takes one to two weeks for delivery with the political interventions and staff shortages in the USPS!  International mail is facing pretty long delivery times – expect 4 weeks for delivery to Asia!     

TRACKING NUMBER NOTE:  I usually use USPS first class mail because 1) most stamps fit in a letter sized envelope 2) I also use US vintage, collectible postage stamps from all periods to post the letters because most of my customers like it.  However, eBay provides tracking with their Standard Envelope labels, so if you want that instead of real stamps on envelopes, or other special services, especially outside the USA, just let me know and we can work out costs.   When I mail your purchase, I mark it as shipped on eBay. 

HOW TO FOLLOW MY SALES:   Click “View seller’s other items” at the top right of this page, then “Name” the search, use the drop-down box to “12 Months” and click “Save”. That is all there is to it.   

I have THREE eBay accounts for reasons too eBay policy to tell, but do look for gr-stamps1, gr-stamps2, and gr-stamps3 (pretty cool names for Globalranger Philatelics, right?) 

Thanks for your business!
