We use Unitrade Specialized Canada catalog 2008 for CV as we believe this more accurately portrays the real value since the dramatic rise in the Canadian dollar, and believe Scotts will come closer to these values when they publish their new catalog. But, we have priced the items VERY low to sell fast..............

All stamps are described to the best of my knowledge. I always try to illustrate the auction with clear, large photos . Please be aware that I have a limited knowledge of much of my material. Often a listing was a part of a much larger collection. Inspect the items carefully, as my descriptions may be brief. The item you see is the item you get! I enjoy working with stamps, but my other duties with http://www.strays.ca/ and http://www.strays.us/ usually leave me with too much to do, and too little time. Often a volunteer has taken the pictures, and I upload what I have. If you require a photo of back (or a clearer photo of the front if the uploaded one is not clear) and there is not one here, please let me know and I will be glad to either add one to the listing or send to you.

As general guidelines regarding descriptions, the condition of the items will be described as accurate as possible. With individual stamps, all of the generally accepted major flaws which are not always visible in the pictures, regardless of the resolution (e.g. thins, etc.) will be mentioned in the description if they exist. Flaws which are clearly visible in the pictures, like missing perfs., tears, creases , obvious soiling/toning, short margins on one or more sides, reinforced perfs. for multiples, etc. might not always be mentioned in the description and they alone do not constitute an acceptable reason in case of a return. Some "flaws" which are not uniformly accepted as being so, like paper adhesion on the back of a stamp, off-sets, natural gum skips or wrinkles, heavy hinging, etc. might not always be described. If these things bother you and you are not sure, request a picture of the back of the stamp.

I am not an expert by any means....but I'm trying, and I am sure having fun learning! I accept best offers...but please be reasonable.

As always, I'll be happy to answer any questions regarding the listings if I can.

This site is operated by Barry Tuddenham and will sell mostly, but not exclusively, worldwide covers and French stamps...two areas of collecting that interest me greatly...but of which I still have a LOT to learn! Please check out our listings...we have some fantastic items available. If you see an error in listing info, please let me know...

If you see an error in pricing and think an item is too low, by all means grab it up...but tell me where I made a mistake so I will know for next time. If I am too high, please tell me why you think so. Help is always appreciated.

If you are not familiar with us, please read our Terms and conditions :

This site hopes to raise awareness for an issue that concerns me deeply... how animals are treated prior to reaching the dinner table (although, as always profits will go to stray animals.) I see nothing wrong with eating meat, but how an animal is treated (or grossly mistreated to be more accurate) is a terrible injustice that should not be ignored by any caring person. Out of site out of mind does just not cut it....the barbaric practices now used, all to save a few cents, are truly insane!
