These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but most have 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 #38 [1905 2 franc Ship in St. Thomas Harbor] NEVER HINGED with F-VF centering, but a couple blunted perfs. Very fresh!

Scott #39 [1905 5 franc Ship in St. Thomas Harbor] Looks "Used" with XF-Superb centering, however the "cancellation" was probably added to a no-gum Mint stamp. Thus the normal Used value premium certainly does not apply and in fact this example is priced at less than the value of a Mint no-gum of this centering.
