Notes: often I include multiple images of the lot to give the full flavor-the lot description will indicate whether just one or several items are being offered - too, these images are rarely the exact size of the item itself.  All auctions will run their full time allotment - any pre-auction closing offers, though appreciated, will be respectfully declined.
If you have questions regarding the item, shipping, payment options, etc - please don’t hesitate to ask!
Shipping will be combined for multiple purchases.
Please note the following for shipments outside the US: on single or combined items totaling over , I may require Registration, which would be an additional cost to be added to the invoice total.
Kansas residents will automatically have Sales Tax added to their invoice (unless of course, there is a Resale #).
Thank you for bidding!
PS: Do you have collections of covers and paper you would like to sell?
