Greetings from Scotty the Treasure Hunter! I make my living on Ebay selling Toy Trains, Diecast Cars, and Antique Toys but do not collect any of them .... my Collecting passion has always been Postage Stamps starting as a young boy and having continued for over 50 years now. As the Toys seem to get heavier every year I feel it is time to start devoting more of my time to my own Hobby so I will start bringing my Treasure to you here:) I have always been a History buff and versus reading or watching documentary programs I have always felt that owning these Stamps was as close as you can get to owning an actual piece of History! Every Stamp has its own story and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do:) This is a nice stamp! It is a Scott's numbers-1893 Regular Issue Franklin 1-Cent Stamp in mint condition with original gum and with an approximate Catalog Value of $65.00. The Stamp is very well centered and in excellent condition with a very slight crease mark. I always provide scanned images of both the front and back of the Stamp as I feel they are both necessary to make an informed decision on what you should bid! The images in the listing are of the actual Stamp you are bidding on. I will start all my Stamp auctions at approximately 10-20% of Catalog value. All Stamps will be shipped in glassine envelopes between stiff cardboard and in an envelope. I am always happy to combine shipping but please wait for me to send you an invoice and know that once you pay I will ship as Ebay does not allow me to hold paid for items. Thanks for looking and enjoy:) For everyone, especially those who are new to my auctions: I have over 50 years experience collecting stamp but do not consider myself an expert. I describe the item to the best of my abilities and try to take good pictures. Please feel free to email any questions including requests for additional pictures. I will do my best to help and provide you with what you need to bid. I use 'Shipping Calculator' to determine the fairest and most accurate shipping cost. I have added .50 to this shipping cost to cover packing material, labeling and other expenses. I ship around 50-100 items per week and my days of scrounging packing materials are over...I've scrounged everything I can and it's all gone!...so, I have to buy boxes, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, tape, labels and ink. From what I've seen elsewhere this is a very reasonable fee to ensure your item arrives safe and sound and intact! If you are bidding on more than 1 of my auctions and the auctions end within a week of each other, I will happily combine orders to save on shipping and handling costs. But please, CHECK SHIPPING COSTS before bidding. Once you pay for an item I can no longer combine shipping with future wins as Ebay forces me to ship within 24 hours of payment ... so if you want to combine shipping you need to hold off paying ... no worries tho as I am never in a hurry here! I will wait as long as 2-3 weeks. After that time you must pay to avoid my opening an unpaid item claim as Ebay rules forces me to do so before 30 days. International buyers note!! ... any package shipping outside the US will be subject to my International rules which are as follows ... any package valued over $25 will ship Priority International ... no exceptions! The value of the items will be honestly noted on the Customs Forms ... no exceptions! If you have to pay Import Duty or any other taxes, fees set by your countries government these duties and fees are YOUR RESPONSIBILITY ... not mine!With all that said and done....most importantly ... Happy Treasure Hunting and enjoy!!!Scotty1954 read more
