Bidding Guidelines for Stamps & Postal History Stamp Catalogs

Stamp Centering Grades

The current editions of Scott Catalogues are used, plus where applicable, additional catalog values are listed from Gibbons, Michel, Facit, Yvert & PSE's Stamp Market Quarterly (SMQ).

Estimates In addition to the catalog value, 'estimates' are listed for each lot. You will find the estimates more reflective of the current market, and what you can reasonably expect to pay for a lot. You may, of course, bid higher or lower than the estimates. You may also speak with a lot describer for a more detailed description of a particular lot. Please call at least 72-hours prior to the sale (the earlier, the better). Remember, a Public Auction is not an approval service. Lots are not returnable unless misdescribed.

Covers & Postcards Covers should be expected to have slight reductions, minor nicks and tears usually from opening. Folded letters normally have one or two file folds, and these are not normally described and are not grounds for return.

Extremely Fine

Near perfect centering on all four sides. A real gem.

Very fine

Well centered, all perforations well clear of design on all four sides, but design slightly off center.

FVF Fine to Very Fine Perforations clear design on all four sides, but design is off center usually on two sides. F

Fine

Perforations barely clear design, or may touch on early issues prior to 1900.

AVE Average

Perforations cut into design.

IMPORTANT: Early stamp issues prior to 1900 were printed in such a way that the design was naturally very close to the edges. This is taken into consideration when grading. For SETS, the above classifications are used in describing the overall appearance of the set with particular attention to the high values.

Stamp Gum & Hinging MNH Never Hinged

Limits You may limit your total purchases by simply indicating the amount on your bidding form. This way, for example, you can bid on $5,000 worth of lots, but limit your purchases to $1,000. Remember, all lots are sold in lot number order. Bids on specific lots over and beyond your limit may be added to your purchase if you indicate they are to be excluded from your limit.

Mint, full original gum as issued by the Post Office. No trace of any hinge mark and no gum disturbance. The presence of an expertizer’s mark does not disqualify a stamp from this designation, but will be noted.

LH Lightly Hinged Unused, original gum with light gum disturbance from the removal of a hinge. No hinge remnant present, and only a trace of the hinge mark visible.

'OR' Bids

Hinged

You may bid on several similar lots with the assurance that you will purchase only one of them. Simply place an 'OR' between the bids submitted on the lots involved, and we will buy the first 'OR' lot for you, and void the rest. Remember, all lots are sold in lot number order, so you may not indicate a preference for one lot over another.

()

Unused

Unused, original gum. Hinge marks will be readily present, and there may be some small pieces of the hinge still adhering to the stamp. No gum.

More than 250 items, ranging from minor to eye-popping, with about 100 being postal stationery items. Among the stamp EFOs are misperfs, imperfs, imperf-between, color shifts, color smears, miscuts, jumbos and more. We even spotted a 3¢ 1857 (#26) misperf with imprint in the stamp area. In postal stationery, you’ll find albinos (largest category), smears, miscuts, misfolds (indicia inside), partial inkings, misplaced surcharges and much more. Great basis of strong EFO collector or for breaking down for resale. Stamped envelopes likely have most significant value.

This large envelope with paste-on World Stamp Expo cachet, is franked with 14 Auto Posts, all 25¢ values produced on each of the show dates (two Nov. 18, as the 19th was a Sunday), each tied with that day’s special theme cancel. However, three of the stamps, 11/17/90 and 11/18/90 (x2), were issued with the ‘1990’ year date! Interesting presentation of these fabled rarities, a great exhibit item. Very fine.

1750 1989 EXPRESS MAIL TO GERMANY, FRANKED WITH AUTO POST ..................................................... PH

$400

An extremely scarce Auto Post usage is the $8.75 Express mail stamp on an International cover, here used with four other Auto Posts (three 45¢ & one 65¢), on International Express Mail cover to Furth, Germany. All five Auto Posts are dated 11/22/ 89 from DC Machine 83, all canceled with magenta double circle National Capitol Station handstamp, address label dated 11/22/89, with additional German postal stickers. Very fine. 1751 1980s-90s USPS MONEY-MAKING PROJECTS, NON-USPS LETTER DELIVERY & ‘MUM’s ............... $350-500

Eclectic group of unusual and seldom-seen material. In the 1980s-90s, the USPS tried a number of initiatives to increase traffic and revenue, including fax and telephone cards. Here we have a 1990 receipt ($8.50) and a cover sheet, along with promotional literature, for USPS ‘FaxMail’, and three 1997 $10 phonecards with image of current stamp on face issued by the USPS in conjunction with American Express, in their original folders with information sheet. Both of these endeavors were unsuccessful and rather short-lived. Next we have a selection of nine Western Airletter covers (First Day and later, all philatelic), plus a few stamps and small guides, plus a 1973 FDC and a few stamps from Independent Postal System of America. Finally, there’s a group 2 ‘MUM’ covers – yellow adhesive automated forwarding or address correction labels used by the Post Office starting in the early 1990s, most are from foreign philatelic agencies. Unusual group, fine to very fine. 1752 / 1989-92 SPECIALIZED ‘INTERMECS’ SELECTION .................................................................................. $2500-3500

Without fanfare or public notice, the USPS conducted an experiment in computer-vended postage in South Florida in the late 1980s. Given their similarity of design and use, these are really precursors to the ‘Auto Post Stamps’ listed in Scott. Postal clerks were allowed to sell unused Intermecs, which could be used throughout the US, and there are examples on cover from distant cities and long after the vended date. This group includes: 107 self-adhesive imperfs, generally in strips of 3 on backing paper, all issued at Tampa, FL, 33630, a 20¢ single & 10¢ pair back on 10/24/89, the balance (all 29¢ or 30¢) issued 10/4/91 or 10/8/91. There are 10 covers, two 1994 Washington, DC covers franked with single 29¢ Intermecs issued Tampa, FL 10/8/91; the other eight covers with Tampa 10/8/89 Intermecs, three unaddressed (address labels removed) franked with additional USPS stamps, and five 1990 covers mailed from Fort Wayne, IN, to Washington, DC (three franked with 4 or 5 additional USPS stamps, two franked with two Intermecs). Interesting and valuable lot, generally fine to very fine.

Large, useful accumulation of Washington, DC and Kensington, MD Auto Post mint stamps, FDCs and covers. Many items retailing for $100 or more. There are four major sections, starting with (1) WASHINGTON, DC stamps: basic sets mint First Day stamps from both machines 82 & 83, Scott listed values 25¢-$8.75, Scott #CVP1a-5a & 6a-10a; two First Day sets, values 25¢-$8.75, machine 83 Scott #1b-5b, with sequential transaction numbers; three sequential runs of 8, 7 & 6 matching transaction number pairs (same transaction number from both machines 82 & 83), running from 00787-00794, 00779-00785, and 00745-00750; selection of 36 singles, all 25¢, different dates; 10 singles, all number 1 transactions, different dates; 10 test singles (blanks), formerly listed in Scott. Next, (2) WASHINGTON, DC First Day and other covers: basic CVP1c FDC used in conjunction with 22¢ Congratulations stamp; four registered covers to Germany (x2), Switzerland, and Lithuania, variety of franking combinations – international usages of Auto Posts are rare; pair of First day 25¢ stamps, DC machines 82 & 83, matching transaction numbers, to Lebanon and returned with ‘Mail Service Suspended’ handstamp; a few items with auto Post used in conjunction with other experimentals of the time, such as 25¢ Auto Post on Postal Buddy card; 25¢ on Priority Mail envelope with plastic ‘F’ pane and 19¢ Postal Buddy cut-out, others; 25¢ Auto Post and test strip on DC cover with Postmaster general corner card; about 20 covers with combination commemorative FDC (addressed and uncacheted) and Auto Post stamps generated same day as First Day of commemorative stamp; plus approximately 30 other auto Post covers, some combination frankings, various destinations; and a few other items. Now we’ll look at KENSINGTON, MD mint stamps: ten First Day (9/1/89) pairs with matching transaction numbers from machines 82 & 83, all 25¢ mint on original backing paper; two basic sets, one from each machine, of the Scott listed stamps, CVP11a-15a & 16a-20a with matching transaction numbers, all First Day; a basic FD set, CVP11a-15a; six radically mis-cut & mis-printed test strips; and two scarce unsevered 25¢ pairs, 4/25/90, both machine 83. Finally, the KENSINGTON covers: there’s only seven here (these are much scarcer than DC covers), the best probably a unusual combo using one 25¢ Auto Post from each DC and Kensington; another with 25¢ Auto Post and blank; five others. Meaty lot of seldom-seen material, generally fine to very fine. 1754 1990 AUTO POST ANTARCTIC COVERS .................. $500-700

Selection of 18 covers franked with Auto Post stamps, cancelled at various stations, all mailed to back to USA. Five basic groups: (1) six covers postmarked 10/29/90, McMurdo Station, franked with First Day stamps, three sets of 2 with matching transaction numbers from DC machines 82 & 83, handstamped cachets; (2) similar set of six covers, but franked with First Day stamps from Kensington, MD machines 82 & 83, again, matching transaction numbers, cancelled McMurdo Station, handstamped cachets; (3) two covers franked with 25¢ Auto Posts (CVP6) DC machine 83, each with 12/2/90, Palmer Station, Antarctica handstamp cachets on address side and large handstamp Antarctic Program cachet on back, 5¢ additional postage (five 1¢ Jeffersons) applied along the way and postmarked 3/ 15/91 Denver machine cancel; (4) four Operation Deep Freeze (handstamp cachet) covers franked with two each DC 82 & 83 stamps, postmarked US Navy FPO 96690); and (5) two unusual covers with DC 82 & 83 stamps, processed at New Zealand’s Scott Base, each with handstamp cachets and stamps canceled with ‘0.00’ meter machine cancel. Very fine and interesting group, appeals to Antarctica or Auto Post collectors.

1755 (CVP31) 1992-96 ‘ECA GARD’ FIRST DAY & COMMERCIAL COVERS ........................................ $3000-4000

ECA GARD First Days are not even mentioned in Scott with regard to First Day of issue. The First Day was at Oklahoma City on August 20, 1992. Those submitted for First Day Service were processed in Kansas City and received the generic ‘First Day of Issue’ machine slogan cancel, those from Oklahoma City itself come with a variety of Oklahoma City cds, all rare. This lot comprises 23 Oklahoma City FDCs, including a set of 14 USPS news releases on glossy paper, each franked with two different singles making up the 29¢ rate, both tied with 8/20/92 Oklahoma City First Day cancel, complete set of 1¢-28¢ values on 14 new releases; set of six matching cacheted FDCs franked with singles from then recently issued World Columbian S/S, along with ECA GARD stamp of corresponding value ($5 + $5, for example); complete set of 1¢-29¢ singles neatly placed and cancelled on large uncacheted and unaddressed FDC, postmarked 8/20/92, Oklahoma City, OK; six different denominated singles on cover, each tied with different 8/20/92 Oklahoma City First day cancel; single 50¢ tied with elusive Oklahoma City MOWS double ring FD cancel; more. One day after the Oklahoma City machine was activated, these experimental machines began service at four other test cities. There are approximately 69 Washington, DC 8/21/92 covers, with: approximately 15 letter and legal size unaddressed envelopes from each of four different DC area Post Offices; large unaddressed envelope franked with complete set of 1¢-29¢ values; second large unaddressed envelope with all 11 progressive postage rates for first class; large unaddressed envelope with four 29¢ stamps affixed to the receipt generated when purchased from four different machines at four different stations (including a strange Niles, IL receipt mistakenly generated from the National capital Station machine), each tied by appropriate DC area station; similar to above (including Niles error receipt) but with four 73¢ stamps to make up the Priority rate, all on Priority Mail envelope; similar but four stamps totaling $9.95 to make up the Express rate, all on Express Mail envelope. Next there’s a selection of ECA GARD stamps used in combination with other postal experiments of the time - ie, Postal Buddy, Auto Post and Intermec. There’s five sheets of 4 Postal Buddy cards, one 15¢ sheet, with three cards franked with additional 4¢ ECA GARD, each tied with different 8/21/92 DC area postmark, and four 19¢ sheets, each card franked with additional 29¢ ECA GARD, each sheet postmarked in one of the four DC area stations where ECA GARDs were available, plus six single Postal Buddy cards with additional ECA GARD or Auto Post stamps, each with 8/21/ 92 DC postmark; then there’s 16 letter size covers franked with ECA GARDs used in conjunction with Intermecs or Auto Post, all with 8/21/92 DC postmarks. Next there’s a selection of 1992 and 1994 ECA GARD design combo FDCs: a Priority Mail envelope and a USPS Press Release, each with plate single of 1992 design ($2.90 in the case of the Priority Mail envelope) with 8/20/92 Oklahoma City FD cancel and normal single of the 1994 design with 1994 Merrifield, VA FD cancel; and a set 14 covers with complete set of 1¢-29¢ 1992 designs in 14 different combinations making up 29¢ rate, all tied with 8/20/ 92 Oklahoma City FD cancels then additional 1994 designs with 1994 FD cancel. Last of the FDC material is a selection of 1994 designs, with a press release and 22 covers including Priority Mail and Express Mail and a various usages and combo usages. Finally, there’s a large group of commercially used ECA GARD covers, with approximately 130 covers, various sizes, including covers with additional (make-up) postage, international usages, and more. Generally fine to very fine. This is the mother-lode of ECA GARD material, and could be easily turned into an interesting exhibit.

1992-96 ‘ECA GARD’ COMPUTER VENDED POSTAGE, 1¢-18¢, ERRORS & MORE ..................................... $2000-3000

Spectacular, world-class holding of the scarcest ECA GARD issues. While there are higher values as well, the real meat here is the 1¢-18¢ values which were only available from a few experimental machines and only for a few weeks before technicians reprogrammed the machines to produce only 19¢ and higher values. this lot contains at least 35 of each of the 2¢-18¢ values in strips, plus singles, pairs, PNCs, rolls, sequences, se-tenant strips and combos, plus valuable errors and other possibly unique material. Mostly Scott CVP31, the original printing. Higher denominated material includes strips of CVP31a glossy gum as well as strips and pairs of CVP31b dull gum, scarce CVP31c type 2 glossy gum, various CVP32 formats, se-tenant strips, ‘step’ strips, progressive strips & pairs including two se-tenant strips of 1¢-29¢ in order, and more. Then the errors, with rare and even unique material, includes two blanks (no denomination); strip of 5 (damaged margin from machine jam) with radical misprints of denominations; six singles (no damage) with wide variety of denomination misprints; approximately 29 counting strips with ‘0-90’ or other counting number between normal stamps (these were for internal purposes and not meant to be printed) including rare 21-43 single; finally, a coupe of truly rare (likely unique) strips including strip of 5 with counting number adjacent to a 24¢ plate number stamp, and (the ‘Holy Grail’ of the EG errors) a strip of 10 with red plate #1 on an 0-90 counting number stamp.The lot also includes a couple dozen ECA GARD receipts for purchases at Washington, DC’s MLK branch, some of which bear the Oklahoma City site mistake. Fresh, MINT never hinged, very fine throughout (unless noted). 1757

1992 POSTAL VALIDATION IMPRINTS SPECIALIZED COLLECTION .......................................................... $1500-2000

Introduced in 1992, PVIs are now ubiquitous despite shortcomings. Print application is weak and the machines are often underinked resulting in weak printing, and text often fades away in time. This specialized group includes FDCs (yes, actual FDCs for meters), also blanks (proofs), test strips and other material not intended for he public, a few early on cover uses, and background information. Group includes: five unaddressed Solana Beach, CA commercial FDCs, four with additional plastic ‘F’ stamp, all dated 4/17/92 because service at this PO was delayed a day; five addressed San Marcos, CA, 4/16/92 FDCs, one with $2.90 PVI, four with 29¢ PVI, all with additional plastic ‘F’ stamp; six 9/30/ 92 Washington, DC, FDCs, with 29¢ PVI and no other postage, to same address with postal receivers on back, PVIs faded but readable. Other covers include: 12/14/92 $13 PVI on Express Mail envelope to Germany; two 1993 international registered covers, to Lithuania and Croatia; 1995 certified cover, $1.42 PVI which is both machine cancelled and lasered, both in violation of PO procedure; a few other high cost/service covers, and 104 clippings of PVIs ($0.00 to $29) various sources and dates. Finally, there’s a number of items that were really not available to the public: $1.52 PVI still on backing paper (PVIs were to be immediately placed on the letter by PO personnel); a strip of six blanks on backing paper, with only the orange bar across the top to identify them as PVI blanks; and three sets of test labels, the first with all four types OF PVI, faded but clearly identifiable as test labels, as well as three blanks on back of a PO form, undated but consignor states that these are from the M.L. King Station in Washington, DC from mid-1993; second set is same as above, but with only one blank and with a clear MLK Station, Washington, DC 10/13/1993 postmarks; and the third set as above, but with sharp, clear imprint, handstamped on glassine envelope, MLK Station, Washington, DC 8/15/93 postmark. An interesting and valuable holding in an area of increasing interest to collectors. Very fine.

1762 ( ) (62X3) 1861 NEW ORLEANS 5¢ BROWN ................ PH

Irreplaceable and intact traditional Gold Medal Award Winning exhibit of history of the Development of Personal Computer (PC) Meter Postage in the United States, from inadequate first steps to eventual success. Exhibit contains numerous rare items from each of the companies that attempted to develop this meter postage to those who were successful, including first-day cover, numerous specimens and essays (with unique discovery Pitney Bowes essay), undeveloped Ascom Hasler essay, numerous beta uses, all national acceptance-day uses and a Click-N-Ship beta use. Much pre-2002 material is present, including beta (perauthorization/test uses) and national acceptance-day uses complete. Early post-national day uses (1999-2002) in other collector’s hands are invariably single-ounce domestic uses. Exhibit shows overweight letters, priority, certified and express mail usages during this early period, vast majority of which were never saved. Commercial uses of Endicia include foreign uses and commercial Neopost examples include Thailand and Germany. Some postcard uses were collector produced, but a good number are commercial. Very fine and extremely RARE, with several likely unique items. Ex-Wawrukiewicz. Click to view entire exhibit online

Folded letter to Owego, Tioga County, NY, with sharp strike of black ‘YPSILANTI. M.T/MAR.’ with manuscript ‘18’ (could be ‘10’) after ‘MAR.’ and manuscript ‘23’ rate marking upper right. ASCC lists the last day as March 10, so this is either that listing or a later strike. The letter is from M.A. Brooks, datelined ‘Brooks Prairie, Michigan, March 3, 1832,’ to her cousin, Col. William Ransom (1801-83). Interesting emotional personal/ family letter describes details of travel, including an impassioned defense of an apparent accusation of improper conduct with a fellow traveler, from Buffalo, NY, to Detroit and on to Ann Arbor. Many Michigan names mentioned. (ASCC $1000)

2755 1860 BRECKINRIDGE/LANE CAMPAIGN COVER .... PH

Remainders of Anthony S. Wawrukiewicz organized research collection of non-personnel postal forms related to function of USPOD and USPS, from 1878-1990s. There are 142 individual different forms organized in numerical order, plus some duplicates (dated variations) of a few common forms. Most forms are dated from 1956-96, but lot contains forms dated from 1890-50. Also included is an 1878 New Haven, CT, registered letter at office mailing book and receipts of registered packages. Lot also contains CD copy of Wawrukiewicz-Straight Excel file of more than 700 non-personnel forms, a file, that if possible, contains form number, Title/Description, how and where used, EKU, LKU and Literature (Source) citations. It was derived (a) from examples in the two collections (of Wawrukiewicz and David Straight), and (b) from limited resources such as page 204 of the 1887 PL&R and more extensive resources such as the illustrated, 600-page Form Publication 22 of the late 1950s. Fantastic research/reference lot. Ex-Wawrukiewicz.

These were the candidates for the Southern Democrats, the break-away faction of the Democratic Party that won 11 Southern states in the 1860 election, losing to Abraham Lincoln. This cover postmarked in Quitman, GA, only a month before the election. Addressed to small town Quarryville, TN. USA 3¢ Washington affixed upper right but not tied or canceled. Repaired tear at top center does not affect design, some typical light soiling and wear. Printed by S. Raynor Envelope Manufacturers, New York.

It includes 1891 and 1897 examples of forwarding address notices, and an 1899 example of a certificate of mailing, all used before their ‘official origin’ in the 1910s. Also included are war department forms, inquiry section and ‘held for postage’ forms, Dead Letter Office warning notices, and an early official certificate of mailing and early, unusual forwarding address forms. Out of period, but important, is Unibomber parcel profiling form. Tough to assemble! Ex-Wawrukiewicz

2757 /D 1878-1990s ORGANIZED COLLECTION OF NON-PERSONNEL POSTAL FORMS ..................... $1500-2500

Organized research collection of non-personnel postal forms related to the function of the USPOD and USPS from 1878-90s. Lot contains approx 400 (mostly sleeved) different forms, organized in numerical order in a number of envelopes and a file box. Many are individually priced, as purchased from various ephemera and cover dealers over the years. Also included is an 1878 New Haven, CT, ‘registered letter at office’ mailing book and receipts of registered packages, 15 mainly 1892-1900 Money Order forms & 10 early registry forms, including an important 1893 announcement, plus 18 misc. forms. This collection, and that of the late David Straight formed the basis for the study of non-personnel postal forms that was compiled in an Excel file (CD copy included) of more than 700 forms. This file, when possible, contains form number, Title/Description, How and where used, EKU, LKU and Literature (Source) citations. It was derived (a) from examples in the two collections, and (b) from limited resources, such as page 204 of the 1887 PL&R and more extensive resources, such as the illustrated, 600-page ‘Form Publication 22’ of the late 1950s (copy of this latter publication is also included). Lot also includes an extensive photocopied file of notes concerning different forms. Wawrukiewicz and Straight split up the forms they found, so they generally had few duplicates, except common ones. Even what examples exist in duplicate here are mostly variously dated examples representing a significant change in the form or its associated rules. Fantastic research/reference opportunity. Ex-Wawrukiewicz.

1881-1902 DEAD LETTER OFFICE RELATED AND OTHERS .............................................................. $250-350

Group of 8 seldom-seen important Dead Letter Office-related matter and postal forms. Most important are 3 forms related to the 1879, 1893 and 1902 ‘Postal Laws and Regulations’ that contain instructions to the Postmaster with regard to handling a ‘Valuable Dead Letter,’ being returned to the writer or party addressed (including one postmarked Jan 23, 1896 in Eureka, UT). Another important missive chastises Postmasters for including ‘Unclaimed and Unmailable’ matter to the DLO in the same return. Also included is a ‘Bill of Dead Mail Matter’ sent to the Dead-Letter Office (a list of matter so sent broken down to subgroups of the types of dead matter) and an Inquiry form used to locate a lost letter that was now thought to be a dead letter. Few small faults here or there, but very scarce items. Ex-Wawrukiewicz 2760 1931-89 VARIOUS POSTAGE DUE FORMS, MOSTLY FRANKED .................................................... $250-350

Group of 57 postage due forms, most with postage due stamps, but 7 with definitive or commemorative stamps. A few of the postage due forms are quite exceptional, but there is significant duplication of forms 3547, 3547/3578 S and P, and 3579. But even with this duplication, there is a significant number that were on the top of a stack and thus are franked with far more than 2¢. Very much worth a close look. Ex-Wawrukiewicz

McNair, who came to St. Louis from Pennsylvania in 1804 (after having fought in the Whiskey Rebellion in 1791 and 1794), was a frontiersman and War of 1812 officer in command of Stephen Austin and others. He was elected Missouri’s first governor in 1820, defeating explorer William Clark. Cover is somewhat fragile at folds, but RARE and with significant historical interest.

Large, somewhat organized accumulation of almost entirely older ‘Album Weeds,’ including even a couple with 1930s-era Royal Philatelic Society certs attesting to this fact! We noted everything from fake cancels and crude litho jobs to entirely engraved forgeries (mostly British). Great overall worldwide representation, with notable absence of United States. Among the forgers represented (either attributed or easily identifiable) are Fournier, Rene Careme, Louis Pasche, Spiro, Senf Brothers, Bela Szekula and possible items from both Panelli and Sperati. Stamps are mostly mounted on old album pages, on stock cards and stock pages, many with short writeups or with accompanying literature. Fantastic goldmine of fake material for the avid researcher. Most of these products of long-dead forgers are rarely seen on the market. Mixed condition, as expected with this type of material, but quite scarce. Ex-Jim Czyl.
