This lot consists of ten Bavarian numerals from the series of 1849, 1850, and 1862. The entire lot is shown in the first scan; the other scan shows the backs of the stamps. Centering and margins as per the scans. Both brown 6s seem to have complete circles. The "193" cancel on the 18kr red carries a slight premium according to my ancient Michel Special catalogue. The backs show the silk threads, some hinge remnants, and a previous owner's erroneous "Baden" notation. The 2014 Scott catalogue for the group is over $400.These are nice stamps, but will not require expensive packaging. They should travel swiftly and inexpensively in a first-class envelope. I have a variety of other items currently listed. Standard boilerplate to save me from typing everything every week: About me : I am not a dealer. I’m a hobbyist collector with 50+ years of experience, with particular interest in Scandinavia, Canada, Europe, and the U.S. I have been an APS member for 24 years and have twice been President of our local APS-affiliated stamp club. I collect by buying albums, accumulations, and box lots, keeping what I need, and selling the rest. I’m also in the process of trying to get rid of a lifelong accumulation in closets, bookcases, and file drawers. eBaying competes with lots of other interests and responsibilities, so I will probably list only a couple items a week, 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 cheapest type. 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 that the original owner misplaced stamps when mounting them. I describe lots to the best of my ability, but I am human and mistakes can happen. Small lots I try to describe in minute detail. For mid-size lots and album pages I try to check stamp backs for gum status and faults, but in such lots I can’t check or describe everything. Large lots will contain the good and the bad, but usually not the ugly because before I sell lots I weed out (into a wastebasket) grossly faulty stamps (missing pieces etc). Hinge remnants can cover faults; I generally do not remove hinges, so thins there might not be described. 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 from countries 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 to 12 photos. The stamps in the photos are always the exact stamps you will receive; I do not post photos of reference stamps. I photograph using available light on a dining room table, so sometimes shades of color are not perfectly reproduced; I try to describe any variance in the written text if it’s important. Binders, manila or Vario pages, and display cards shown in photos may not be shipped, to save weight and thus your cost for shipping. If catalogue values are visible in the photo written on a page or tag, they may be out of date and inaccurate. Shipping :My lots generally end on weekend evenings so I will have your stuff 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. My preferred shipping method for small items that fit in glassines or 102 cards is to put them in a semirigid (cardboard) Scotch photomailer to protect them from trauma in transport and send them by USPS regular First Class mail. The photomailer weights 1.6 oz empty, so it costs a bit more to ship (usually $1.69 postage for 2 oz + the cost of the mailer). The USPS treats this as a “package” because of its rigidity, so it requires manual sorting, and delivery takes longer than for letters (typically 7-10 days across the U.S.). If your purchase is really small (a few stamps) and not very expensive and you’re willing to accept... read more
