These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but many have described hidden flaws. You can save a tremendous amount of money when you add such stamps to your collection. Each stamp is one of a kind, so please let me know if I may substitute a different example (that looks as good or better, for the same cost) if the stamp you order has sold. If you have any doubts, all are available for approval viewing. If you are seeking stamps of this quality and price level from any of the Scandinavian countries, just send along your want list -- I will be happy to send bargains on approval. Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise stated.
Scott #Q1 Used F-VF with neat violet cancellation. Has tiny natural inclusion in the paper (middle of the bear), but otherwise excellent quality.

Q3a, Facit #P2I [5 øre Perforation 12.25, Printing I, 1905] Mint with VF++ centering, but with disturbed original gum. Nice example of "cut in lower right frame line" variety (no extra cost). Accompanied by Carl Aage Møller photo certificate (Bundes Prüfer). Very pretty example with wonderful, deep color. Facit 2010 value SEK 6000 = $810 [7/2010] -- with full undisturbed (hinged) gum, this would easily sell for more than $810 with such nice centering. If you collect the front of the stamp and not the back, this is a very nice example at a great price.

Q3a imperf right side, Facit #P2IIB [5 øre Perforation 12.25, Printing II, 1910] Mint hinged with Superb centering and full original gum, but with extremely light stain that neither the expertizer or the previous owner had noticed. Accompanied by Kaiser 1983 photo certificate (does not mention the stain). Only a total of 4500 stamps were released with one side imperforate; only 1125 examples existed of any particular side -- many fewer still exist today. Very pretty example with wonderful centering and color, at a very low price.
Q5 Print I (1915) Mint with Superb centering, but with small thin spot. Very attractive, and scarce, stamp that would otherwise sell for about $340 with this centering. Though this printing is somewhat scarcer, this example is priced the same as the least costly printing in similar quality. A beautiful stamp!
