Any Gems?

paul, do you have any Brazil or Ireland?

I may just take you up on that, KGB. Thanks.
Do you specialize in US stamps or all countries?

I can't say I specialize in anything, but I'm working hard on Ireland.

Unfortunately early U.S. stamps is my real weak spot compared to the other guys and gals here.

KGB, I uploaded some Brazil stamps in the topic: Brazil - Need help identifying

The scan with the most stamps is the poorest. I may just back to the iphone.

Couldn't find a page for Ireland in this old album. ?!

I just listed this on ebay with a starting bid of $39.95.
Should I have started higher?

Hi Paul.. 12 c George Washington 1851..Scott17..In 2015, used imperforated stamp with "Philatelic Foundation certification" went for over 100 in auction.You can view US stamps that have been sold in auctions at usphila.com
Certs are done to determine stamp genuine ect with descriptions by P.S.E, or P.F., so you can read if sold with one or not.
with your black jack stamp-usually look for grill, including 3 locomotive..without grill can be valuable.

usually when sold with certs..buyer already have paperwork that stamp is genuine, condition, by the experts ect.,so value increased than one without information.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't been able to find a PSE person where I live.
I want to have one look at my Scott #1 also.

P.S.E changed their website..called gradingmatters.com..it provides detailed information.The P. foundation in NYC can call them and they might be able to suggest things or to direct you with an expert in your closest area with your Scott 1.They are very professional and do certs as well.

Thanks, blazen.
