This is not a 'bait-and-switch' offering. The stamp you see will be the stamp you receive.Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.55 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the selling price of the stamp, plus a certified mailing fee that varies by country of destination, but is approximately $4.00 per $100.00 of insurance. Thus the cost of mailing and insurance will be about: $9.55 for most customers outside of the United States. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.68 added postage expense, plus a $4.00 certified mail expense, total: $4.68. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra expense for the added purchases.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
