Wow... Super~light #524 Cancel... Superb Centering...

Seller has this beauty at $22.00...
probably worth triple or more of
catalog with a cert...

Very nice, what is a 'cert' ?

Do you mean a certificate of authenticity or something similar?
If so, how does a collector get one? Do they have to find a local stamp dealer or send the stamp by mail to a authorized certificate company?

Thank you,

Hi, Sue... yes and then some...
an expertizer's opinion and if
optionally graded, can increase
the value of a stamp significantly...

Please view the website below for
more detail... and also note that
Bill Weiss is also a very active
participant in SCF... you'll see

P.S. ... at $22.00 I would recommend
snatching up the 524 before someone
else does... that's an awesome price
for one in that condition, hands down...

No pictures of the back.

Thank you for the link to the http://www.stampexpertizing.com/

So much information and very interesting!
Thanks again,

Hi, Stampcrow... firstly, it's a cancel,
not a mint stamp, so - what the back looks
like isn't very significant comparatively
to an unused copy...

Second... seller states the following...

"Norman C. Hinds, Jr. APS # 083032, a dealer member since 1975. Member of Florida Stamp Dealers' Association, USPCS, GPS, GCCG"

Lastly, you have ebay Buyer Protection,
which I highly doubt you would need...

I don't collect cancels, otherwise we
wouldn't be having this conversation...
I would have already purchased it, all
based upon the above...

My advice to you is that if you can
afford the $22, you should buy this
stamp... I highly doubt you would ever
see another in this condition, not to
mention the low price... your choice...

The only reason I hesitate is I have this space filled already. Wouldn't grade nearly as well but also a light cancel.

Agreed...

Hey, it's sold!

Not surprised... this thread was read
