Instructions & Explanations

Symbols and abbreviations
Mint: Never used
M.N.H. or just N.H.: full original gum that has never been hinged
V.L.H.: previously hinged but only showing a trace of a hinge mark
L.H.: previously hinged but no remnants or hinge stains on the gum
H.R.: particles or entire hinges stuck to the gum
P.H.: Previously hinged. This term is used to signify sets of 2 or more stamps when a combination of various hinge conditions exists.

S.E.: straight edge
Mixed condition: When a set of 2 or more contain both used and mint stamps

Catalogue Numbers & Values
We use Scott catalogue numbers and values for all stamps unless they are non-listed by Scott and then we explain where we obtain the values, if any, in the comments section. Sets of 2 or more stamps where 1 or more have faults are priced based only on the sound stamps unless otherwise indicated, and the faulty stamps are included free or at a very small percentage of catalog!

How Stamp Issuing Entities are Listed
All Provinces, States, Offices and other stamp issuing entities are listed individually in alphabetical order instead of under their parent country.
Examples:
Nova Scotia is listed under "N", not under Canada.
Baden is listed under "B", not under Germany.
Tuscany is listed under "T", not under Italy.
Just click on the letter that your country of interest starts with and then the individual country listing to view available inventory for that country or Entity.

We hope you enjoy yourself and be sure to ask any question you may have.
