An eclectic mix, filipo. Will be interesting to see how you 'market' this one. The air mail pre-stamp cut out in the last image appears to be from Monrovia, the capital of Liberia. Liberia, of course was the country established in Africa to repatriate American slaves. I understand many aspects of that country were patterned after the USA, including their flag and constitution (which still didn't protect them from dictators). Here they've even used the design of an American airmail stamp. Nice selection. |

Maybe it will be smart to exclude the junk, and to save on the postage... I am planing to ship them on these stock pages, and couple of pages less could be significantly decrease the airmail postage.
But, OK... if all of you think that as a lot will be nice, I will do that... sell as one big lot... but tomorrow... here is already night, and I need previously to find out how to become an supporter. |

I would not exclude the "junk"... I like some of it!  If it came down to that, I would personally rather let you keep the stock pages. I can't wait to see this one up for auction. |

Simple - allow yourself 20 minutes to take everything OFF the stock pages before shipping, then you will save a significant amount of postage.
Retain one stock sheet, to be folded in half, to put the stamps between, very good protection. |

Is there any rule how long one auction could be active? 3 days, one week, 2 weeks? I can't find that info. Is there any suggestion? |

You can run the auction for a week is the general rule . I sometime do a 3 day other times a week or 10 days, With a week most members should see it with a shorter listing time some members might not see it. Anyways offer the option for postage if some one want the stock sheets just charge the auctual postage, anyways if you do decide to auction them I would gladly bid on them. I just found $20 in spare change. |

i excluded some revenues from the lot, so, I will probably need to re-scan the rest for the auction...probably not worth the effort... |

I'm not sure what rule was broken, but I would still bid on the lot, if offered. Take everything off the stock sheets, put it all in a big glassine, sandwich between halves of a stock sheet (or two) and let 'er rip! I love this kind of stuff. |

The rule that was broken was that the poster's very first post was an offer to buy, rather than logging in the requisite time and participation. I agree, that is some odd stuff...right up my alley.  |
