Very Nice China Stamps!

I have a few more very nice stamps graded and a sheet of mixed stamps that are not graded, for some people who like to see Non-Graded Stamps.

Enjoy the pics!

How much are you paying to get those stamps graded, including postage both ways,

If I were you, instead of spending $$$ to have the stamps graded, I would take the $$$ and buy more stamps. I find it very difficult to believe that there is any interest in grading these common stamps.

rogue,

common Chinese stamps = 1c.
common Graded 100 Chinese stamps = 1c.

Curious to know how the buyers of graded stamps treat previously hinged material, like the 2273 Taiwan, above. To the MNH crowd, this stamp would be a complete nonstarter, regardless of grade.

This isn't a challenge...I seriously wonder...

I personally would not grade my common stamps, but each to his own. What bothers me greatly though is the sloppy, messy way PSE has encapsulated the stamps. Really bad form!

PSE charges a minimum of $10 a stamp for this service and I would expect the result to look more professional.

Perhaps somebody dropped them?

Folks, we have all sort of been had! As the OP stated in another thread he is not a collector. I believe he is E-Bay seller "worldcollectibles310". He has 1299 positive feedbacks. The small blue stamp with the cto is listed on E-Bay for no less then $150.00! Some of the other stuff he has been showing is in his store also. The E-Bay number for the little blue Chinese stamp is 262025099904, just in case someone would like to get his hands on this little gem!

For $10+ I would expect them to stay in their place even after target practice

LOL, this one's on sale for $138:

If this is indeed the named ebay seller, we have not "sort of," but really, been had. As in "scammed." Lied to. All his protestations about how he hoped for comments on the history of his pretty stamps and was offended that we told him he was being scammed.

And it turns out he is scamming others on ebay.

Well at least he chose his name accurately.

Beneath contempt.

Hello To All
I have read some of your messages and I had to laugh. I am a collector to a point, but I am not your traditional stamp collector. This forum was created so people could share pictures of stamps, ask questions, get knowledge and more. You guys seem to turn this around to be an invasion of the Stamp Collectors and it broke the cults code of having things graded or sold.

Let's make something clear. I post these beautiful stamps pics to share with people on a Stamp Forum, as it is intended. I have been to many stamp shows in the US and Asia to spend countless hours searching through hundreds of bags and booklets to find these type of stamps and never mention or have intended to sell you anything. The two members, in particular, Hieronymus and Peter4522 who decided to make comments that "We have been Had!" We have been SCAMMED, says Hieronymus. Seriously SCAMMED?? Strong accusations to make to someone who is just posting a pics of stamps! Why? Because I have an ebay store, that I never mentioned? Are you kidding me?

Peter, you are the person who announced I have an ebay store, not me. Some of you act like you never bought stamps before? Who cares if I am a seller or not! Do you all live in a closet? The new world of collectors grade coins, stamps and comics and buy them on websites or ebay, so get with the century! You ask why I grade Stamps because it is the modern day way of appraising, have you ever had anything of value appraised?? Compare it to an art exhibit, as some of these stamps should be protected like art. When it's in a slab it is much safer than a stamp book, I am using this Forum for what it was intended to be used for, but Peter and Hieronymus decided to attack my character and making juvenile, but strong accusations of trying to pull one over on you or scamming you. In what way? LOL! As collectors, you should be pleased that someone found these stamps with this quality that can be shown to other collectors just like an art exhibit. You are not being positive you're only looking to find the negative in something good.

For the members who wrote something negative. I am not looking for your approval to why I grade things or how much I pay for grading. The money is not a problem for me if I feel it is protecting my investment. If you want to make a comment on the beauty of the stamp or what I nice centered cancellation, color or year the stamp is, now that would be what this forum was intended for, but guys like you who do nothing but look for the negative in what is or has been presented or expressed are NOT what this forum is about.

I do want to thank some of you for your messages. I will continue to post some of my graded stamps for the real collectors who appreciate them.

Don't feed the troll, folks.
