NOTE!! This listing is for stamps ---> ON PAPER <---
The packets contain used, canceled stamps with no actual face value. The pictures show an example of the kind of stamps you will receive. I hand-pick your order to be sure you get a variety of colors, themes, illustrations, shapes, sizes, and images. I trim the excess paper to keep the thickness and weight low enough to mail as a letter and not a package (that keeps costs down).
The photos are examples of what you will receive. My inventory changes all the time. Currently, the US stamps included have a high percentage of used forever commemorative and regular issue stamps. Lots of holiday stamps and botanical and flower stamps are often included. This listing is sold as a GRAB BAG of US Used more recent postage stamps ON PAPER
I lay them out to make sure (hopefully) there are no duplicates. If a dup sneaks in, it's because I couldn't find Waldo ;-). Packets 50 stamps per packet. If you order 2 or more packets, you will get duplicates between them. i.e. If you order multiple packets, you will get duplicates across the packets, but not in a given packet of 50 stamps :-)
These are great for the philatelist (stamp collector), collage, confetti, junk journals, mixed media art, stationery, history classes, book covers, journals, altered art pieces, scrapbooking, mixed media, and for those who collect paper ephemera.
These are mailed with untracked First Class mail from the US. If you want tracking, please choose that at checkout - there will be an additional cost for tracked items.
Description: Stamps range in size from .5-3" wide x .5-3" tall. Most are regular issues with some commemorative mixed in. Stamps have been used/canceled. Stamps are either regular issues or commemoratives, and occasionally I include a cover (cut-out stamp printed on envelopes), but only if it's a nice one :-). I sell covers separately.
Condition:
All stamps are still on the paper from the envelope/package. Some wear to corners and edges is to be expected as these are used stamps. Postmarks range from light to heavy and bullseye to hand canceled. The older the stamp, the more rough it might look. I do not include stamps that are *obviously* torn or damaged. As I fill orders, I sort out duplicates (hopefully I catch them all), obviously damaged stamps, etc.
100% satisfaction is my goal ;-). There is a little bit of everything in these lots of stamps. I can fill just about any kind of special request too, especially topical collections. For specific topics, please see my other listings. Flowers, Sports, Space, Birds, Animals, Mammals, Amphibians, Plants, Cars, Ships, Horses, and many more themes and topics are available. Specific countries are available too.
