8c Eisenhower Booklet Mis-Cut.

Boy, you fellas really like to dump on the USPS.

$450 was this a good buy?
What do our members estimate today?

It has to be a complete pair to be considered an imperf between error. This is just a neat freak, not worth $425.

I can not believe that someone would take this to a pawn shop for an opinion instead of a stamp store.


Peter

It's Vegas baby! Yeah

Actually, for this, we would be taking potshots at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

It's pretty radical, but I would put it somewhere south of $200 retail unless the pawn guy creased the pane and cover and got burger grease on it. One thing is that this booklet-only stamp is well-known for relatively bad production. To take another potshot: is there something like this on Billsbargainstamps? Then the rule of thumb says that if the retail there is $600 or so, then it's worth more like $200 (if not faulty).

As for "stamp store", is there a stamp store within a hundred miles of the booklet owner?

Thanks HB,
I thought it a tad expensive, to flip and make a profit,
not a big fan of EFO's.
But US, I am not au fait with their values.

I also considered would there be a stamp shop in Vegas?

There is one.

Yet:
1. A Google search for "stamps" also gives you many more rubberstamp dealers for the scrapbooking crowd. Now normal for the US.
2. If that dealer does stamp shows, when they are gone, the store is left open with someone that's just a salesperson with no ability or permission. If you hear, "The owner will be back in 3 weeks and he'll be able to tell you then", you'll likely look for other places to get a valuation or offer even if you do return. Many if not most US stamp dealers are basically one-person operations.

Jim Forte who is mentioned (especially his searchable listing of US Post Offices)in various threads here is in Las Vegas. There are others there too. PSA is there in a Las Vegas burb, Henderson.

Jim Forte does EFOs, too?

From Season 6, which was 2012.

After a long stretch of just postal history, he added stamps back to his dealings. He has some in inventory.
