About us

Welcome to my eBay Store. I became a First Day Cover Collector at 12 years old. I remember as a kid reading Linn's Stamp News, purchasing blank cachets from Artcraft and servicing them by sending pennies, nickles, dimes and quarter to faraway Post Offices. I stopped collecting for about 40 years. Army Vietnam, College, Marriage, and kids interered.

I caught the bug again at retirement and started buying and collecting again. And then came along eBay in 1997 and I started supported my collecting by selling duplicates and unwanted items. In the past almost 30 years I have had over 100,000 transactions on eBay

    The item was well described by the scan. Seller packaged the item so it was well protected. He promptly shipped the item the day after payment was made. Delivery took place in 3 days. This was one of 6 items I purchased and I was given a 20% discount. The seller reduced the shipping costs by combining them. I am very pleased with this dealer.
