If you generally spend about $100 or more per month on your collection, you can receive mounted collector formed collections to choose from.
How does this service work:
Either by telephone, by email, or in writing, you tell us the area or areas where you are trying to build your collection. Tell us what you are looking for --- what time period, mint, used, both, centering requirements, price range of items, and any other relevant details. The more details you give us, the more effectively we can service your needs. Your provide us with a couple of references or a major credit card to begin service.
Shortly after communicating with us, you will receive album pages (usually) or dealer stock which contains the stamps you have told us you are interested in purchasing. We will quote you a rate of Scott Catalogue. We generally charge 40--65% of Scott depending upon what you have requested, and considerably less for stamps with faults. You may use any Scott Catalogue from 2001 -- 2004. You need to tell us which catalogue you will be using.
Occasionally, the prices will be higher or lower. One example where the price might be much lower is if you are looking for classic material with small faults. An example of where the prices might be higher is if you request a "hot" country where the catalogue does not reflect the current market, or you request NH material in certain tough areas where the catalogue price is for LH.
You pick the stamps that you wish to purchase from the album pages and write the country, Scott Number, and catalogue value on a sheet of paper. When you have finished picking stamps, total up the catalogue value you have taken and multiply by the percentage of Scott you were quoted. Send the material you don't choose back to us by insured mail or UPS along with your payment. Payment can be made by check, money order, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover. Shortly after we receive the shipment back, we will send you more material. Also, please give us any comments or suggestions as to how we can serve you better. (This is extremely helpful on the first couple of shipments.
Some comments about the $100.00 or more per month average purchase:
Occaionally, customers have expressed concerns over this requirement. Please note that it is not a commitment, and there are no contracts to sign. Due to the cost of shipping both to us and to you, the service will not work well for small purchases. You are under no obligation whatsoever (other than to pay for stamps you take) and may stop the service at any time.
We do not expect customers to buy stamps they don't want in order to meet some arbitrary minimum. What we are looking for is to build our business on customers who are willing to spend this amount and more on stamps they want to buy. This is, or course, if we can provide the material you want and we hope we can. See for yourself.
Please feel free to call or write with any questions you may have about this service. We think you will find this a cost-effective and fun way to add stamps to your collection.
