Condition - All Stamps listed are Mint NH (never hinged) unless otherwise stated.
Average - Average stamps are sound stamps that will satisfy the needs of most Collectors. The perforation will frequently touch or cut into the stamp design.
Fine - Fine stamps will have better centering. Perforations will be clear of the stamps design.
FVF - Fine-Very-Fine perforations will be well clear of the stamps design, but the margins may be uneven.
VF - Very-Fine will be well centered with 3 even margins (require a 40% premium for VF).
Prices - Every effort will be made to maintain these prices. However all prices are subject to change without notice. We are not responsible for typographical errors. We reserve the right to limit quantities.

Shopping Basket - There are about 269 Pages. Click on the link containing the Catalogue numbers wanted.

Foreign Pages Belgian stamps were just added and the catalog will show ex: b 600. b = Belgian + number 600 is the Scott number. This is to make the search easier. The Semi-Postal will be shown as: b B872 or the airmail as b C5 etc.
