Unless the item description specifically says otherwise, the following is true of all my stamp collections and accumulations. The stamps in the scan(s) are the very same stamps you will receive, though all stamps may not be pictured in a large lot. If a catalog value is indicated, it comes from the latest available edition of the Scott catalog (if Scott listed) and I looked it up myself. Where there are watermark, perf, paper or other varieties, I have either confirmed the identification myself, or I've priced it as the cheapest type. Lots contain some duplication unless labelled "all-different" or "diff". Stamps identified as MNH are flawless and post office fresh. Mint stamps usually have original gum (if issued with gum), but may have hinge marks or remnants and/or pencil marks. A small percentage of stamps in a mint lot may be gumless. All different lots that include both mint and used stamps will often include one of each for some stamps. Most stamps are sound, but especially in older material there may be some faults -- thins, bad perfs, creases, etc. I try to weed out the real losers and mention any big problems in my description, but I just don't have the time to closely scrutinize every stamp in a collection. Binders, display cards or stock cards shown in the scans are not necessarily included with the stamps at the time of shipping. Thanks for looking!
