This week I'm listing my last three lots of EKKO radio verified reception stamps.This lot consists of ten stamps from the state of Pennsylvania. For centering, perfs, and straight edges, please see the photos. Here's a very brief description of the backs of the stamps as best I can determine without removing them from the album pages (lifting them to peek behind sometimes created tiny gum disturbances). Most of this group were hinged to the album page but have portions adherent because of wayward saliva.KDKA - hinged, with only the top center 3-4 perfs adherent.WCAE - adherent top 25%WLIT - hinged, but adherent beside and above hingeWFI - hinged, but adherent beside and above hingeWIP - hinged, but adherent beside and above hingeWHBP - hinged and not adherent WCAU - hinged and not adherentWIAD - hinged and not adherentWABQ - very adherent top 2/3WDAR - hinged but adherent beside and above hingeI will trim these pages to fit into a semi-rigid Scotch photomailer, and ship them to addresses in the United States only. I'm happy to combine purchases into a single shipment to save you postage (as long as everything fits). Thus endeth the radio reception stamp marathon; now it's time to move on to other things. To those who have purchased from me these past few weeks, my thanks. I don't have any other important cinderellas to list except the Scandinavian Christmas seal collections - but it will be quite a while before I get to them. 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 so 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 a 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 ... read more
