With millions of stamps sold every week, it is impossible to provide detail description on every stamp. But we are committed to do the best we possibly can on description.

'Mint" is unused stamp and hinged. 'NH' is mint never hinged. 'NC' is not counted.

For higher value US stamp marked with a retail value, we check gum condition, grill size, shade, secret mark, watermark etc. For example, a stamp with no gum, are quoted Scott retail value for no gum. We will try to include Scott # and above details when time permit. We do examine perforation, type, WMK, and size for US W/F stamps within a US stamp collection, but do not provide guarantee, and we do not count W/F stamps within a large US stamp collection in our estimated value. The W/F stamps within a US stamp collection will be at your risk.

We will verify the Scott retail value mentioned in the description, or examine any higher value US stamps marked with a retail value. Given the large volumes of stamps that we sell every week, for a US stamp collection/large lots, we may NOT examine every US stamp unless marked with a retail value. For example, a US stamp placed in the position of Scott #599A, or marked as such by its former owner in an album, may NOT be examined by us. However, we will check this stamp if it was marked #599A, $120. Furthermore, we be more than happy to check any particular stamp for you upon request.

In average, we receive hundreds of emails every day, and we usually will answer every mail within hours during business hours. Our office for customer service are closed on Wednesday and Sunday. So an email message sent to us after 5PM Tuesday won't be answered until Thursday morning.

The stamps we are offering come from wide range of sources. Most lots are offered intact as received. For large collection lots, some stamps could be removed by its former owner(s) before consigned to us. All items with obvious faults, or questionable items noted by us are usually not counted in estimated value. Such items usually are offered as a bonus. For lots with 10 or more stamps, that are 60 years old or older, typical mixed condition are to be expected. The stamps pre-1940 are usually hinged unless mentioned otherwise.

In general, we use the most current Scott catalog for US/Canada stamps, Gibbons for British stamps, and Michel or Yvert for the rest of the countries.

With 40,000 or more new images every week, we only keep the images for one week after the item was sold. So please save the images in your computer after the auction close. We can also put it back upon request.
