Yes good point Michael, most of those have been used.
-
Fascinating details Ted, another excellent video!
-
You seem to be describing the stamps reasonably it’s hard to please everyone when there are so many different opinions. I guess the norm would be MNH only without faults including disturbed gum. Who doesn’t love the term, “Post Office Fresh.”

Ron would be amazed even the stamps these days are enhanced on botox or viagra

Hi Rory, Very nice cover with the machine Canada flag cancel I believe they were first used in 1896-1898. I've seen them on the Jubilee and Queen Victoria issues. http://www.bnaps.org/hhl/newsletters/flags/fp-1996-03-v009n03.pdf

Ted terrific work, look forward to the next episode. I agree with Mark can imagine you displaying a US 4880 Jimi Hendrix and letting loose on the guitar.

Definitely white paper maybe even chalky

Online is a game changer for stamp collecting as it makes collecting and exchanging global and much easier. I've read estimates of up to 30 million plus collectors worldwide so North America maybe represents 30% of that number. Curious what others…

It was a mistake yes I got Marilyn Monroe so no complaints here sorry Joe.

They go for about $10-$18 but the error is worth around $5000.

Lee, when you are doing that many auctions you are bound to make a few mistakes. I’m sure they will resolve any issues. They have sold many very fine US stamps. As for buying rarer US stamps without certification, you are almost always taking a g…

Thanks Ted worked like a charm!

Maybe I should have been clearer I’m trying to search a store for stamps that has tons of FDC listings. Is there a way to view only stamp listings within the store.
-
The stamp appears to be US 2875
-
Looks canceled on the front therefore used.

John, I experienced several times over the years. Sellers should be careful as to what they post. Perhaps give forgiveness once.
-
Curious what the actual site policy is as I think auction errors stand firm.
-
The truck icon should be grey if not shipped, turns green when marked as shipped and blue when received. It would be nice for them to add the date initially shipped as previously mentioned.
-
If you look at your order and the truck icon is green it indicates the seller has shipped assuming they update the ticket.

You can do it for free in a spreadsheet or the old fashioned way keep booklets/notepads of the numbers,etc.

Some of the expert re gummed stamps can be difficult to tell especially on US stamps. The best way to tell is closely examine the gum on the perforations (sheets were gummed before perforating). How we wish unscrupulous collectors or dealers would…

Where tho pumpkin carriage?

not technically Jerry US 4026 part of a Disney series.

How to make a million dollars in the stamp business? You start with two million. Martin it all depends on how you value your time. Perhaps open a store and sell very part time and weigh your results.

Would be nice to find some Barefoot catalogs for a reasonable price but have doubts on the later part.
-
Very well stated Bob, I agree. Ron, that might ruffle someone’s feathers. I don’t see anyone using the HipValue feature btw.
-
Very nice Jerry. I think the BOB is a growing area and very under represented. Nice examples, have you ever seen a Colombia Leprosy revenue stamp?
-
To my eyes and the photo is a little blurry but there is a distinct cancel on the bottom left. You would need to see the back, I would bet on no gum. Depending on which variety of Iceland 15 it is used doesn't meet the criteria for a giveaway mini…

Hi Robert, the easiest way is place the items on a watch list. After the auction is over go to Buying-Buyer Tools-Watching and then place the tab on closed listings and recently ended. As Ted mentioned if you are bidding on an item you will receiv…
