This lot consists of a group of taxpaid revenue stamps. The first scan shows the entire lot, followed by closer views of groups of the same stamps.
These are taxpaid revenue stamps for tobacco and cigars. I have no idea what their catalogue numbers or values are; someone out there will undoubtedly know.
For shipping I will transfer them from the stock page to a couple glassines, which will get to you quickly and inexpensively in a first-class envelope.
...Today I'm listing one other lot of taxpaid revenue large tobacco and cigar strips; Ihope to get my Springer Handbook (tenth edition, 1985) listed later this afternoon or this evening.
Standard boilerplate to save me from typingeverything every week:About me:
I am not a dealer. I’m a hobbyist collector with 50+ years of experience, withparticular interest in Scandinavia, Canada, Europe, and the U.S. I have been anAPS member for 28 years and have twice been president of our localAPS-affiliated stamp club. I collect by buying albums, accumulations, and boxlots, keeping what I need, and selling the rest. I’m also in the processof trying to get rid of a lifelong accumulation in closets, bookcases, and filedrawers. eBay competes with lots of other interests and responsibilities, so Isometimes list only a couple items a week (usually starting on Thursday for 10days to end on Sunday), and sometimes none.
Descriptions:
When the catalogue value of a stamp is dependent on watermark or perforations, I have either confirmed them myself or cited a catalogue price for the cheapesttype. Stamps shown within mounts may be previously hinged by a previous owner.And if I’m reselling someone else’s old album pages, it’s always possible thatthe original owner misplaced stamps when mounting them.
I describe lots to the best of my ability, but I am human and mistakes canhappen. Small lots I try to describe in minute detail. For mid-size lotsand album pages I try to check stamp backs for gum status and faults, but in suchlots I can’t check or describe everything. Large lots will contain the good andthe bad, but usually not the ugly because before I sell them I weed out (into awastebasket) grossly faulty stamps (missing pieces etc). Hinge remnants cancover faults; I generally do not remove hinges, so thins there might not benoticed.
When I describe a lot as “unchecked by me” (for shades, varieties, watermarks, papers, cancels etc) it means just that because it’s usually material fromcountries I don’t collect that came to me in a box lot.
Images:
I have not yet figured out how to host images on other sites, so I’m limited to12 photos. The stamps in the photos are always the exact stamps you willreceive; I do not post photos of reference stamps. Most item images arecreated using my old scanner, which sometimes has difficulty reproducing exactshades. When I photograph an item I doso using available light on a dining room table, so again shades of color maynot be perfectly reproduced; I try to describe any variance in the written textif it’s important. If catalogue valuesare visible in the photo written on a page or tag, they may be out of date andinaccurate.
Binders, manila pages, and black plastic Vario-type pages and display cardsshown in photos are usually not shipped, to save weight and thus your cost forshipping.
Shipping:
My lots generally end on Saturday or Sunday so I will have time to get youritem(s) in the mail to you on Monday or Tuesday. If there’s a delay (blizzard, family crisis), I will email you to let you know.
If your purchase is small and not very expensive, I prefer to mail the lot in aregular (4” x 9.5”) business envelope or larger (6” x 9”) manila envelope, using a dealer card for support, and it will go at cost and get to you faster. This envelope will be machine-sortable.
My preferred shipping method for expensive small items is to put them in a semirigid(cardboard) Scotch photomailer to protect them from damage in transport andto send them by USPS regular First Class mail. The photomailer weights 2 ozempty, so it costs a bit more to ship (usually $2.45 postage for 2 oz +the cost of the mailer). The USPS treats this as a “package” because of itsrigidity, so it requires manual sorting, and delivery takes longer thanfor letters (typically 7-10 days across the U.S.).
Albums and large accumulations seem to ship most efficiently in a Priority Mailbox, and packages to Canada will go by Priority Mail. My charges for shipping, are, as best I can figure it, a sum of the cost of postage, the cost of themailing supplies, and if a trip to the post office is necessary for insurance, customs, etc. I don’t try to profit from shipping or include a charge for“handling.”
I will work with you to combine your winning bids for shipping; forsmall items I’ll try to do it routinely but for larger ones it will depend onthe size and availability of packaging material. I am in no hurry for payment of a winninglot; I’ll wait for several weeks if there are other lots you want to bid on. I can also split lots into 2-3 envelopes ifthis will help you avoid high customs duties.
Return Policy:
I have a liberal return policy. If I have made a mistake in describing the lot, feel free to return it intact for a full refund. This does not apply to largelots (bulk lots, album pages, full stock pages) where I can’t monitor whetherthe lot has been cherry-picked. Stamps that are photographed in the listingshould not be returned because of dissatisfaction with centering or perfs. Lotswith more than a couple dozen stamps may not be returned for small faults, anditems sold “as is” or with described faults may not be returned. I usuallydon’t deal in material that needs certification, but if you are submitting astamp for a certificate, notify me when payment is made and I’ll extend thereturn eligibility period (I refund the cost of the stamp and shipping, not thecost of certification). I do not make Second Chance offers because I don’t dealin large quantities of identical material.Feel free to email me ifthere are questions that remain unanswered or if you have questions about thecontents of a particular lot.
