1st - I AM NOT A BUSINESS AND DO NOT HAVE POSTAL PICK-UPS TWICE A DAY so please allow me IF needed an extra day or 2 if needed.I inherited a large lot of older stamps and have bought a few simply because I thought I knew what I was doing and they looked old. I did buy 2008 Scott Specialized book for some help but I can't figure out most of this. I also am listing some of the large lot of railroad related items including many rare matchbook covers.
Railroad matchbooks apparently have become highly collectible and like anything collectable today, these items may have been common several years ago are getting hard to find as most are now in collections and come up for sale fewer and fewer times. I have no idea of the ages of these covers but I believe MOST if not all are probably from the 1930s-1970s?
I don't collect matchbook covers and really know much about rarities or conditions. Some of these I'm sure are fairly rare and some have condition issues but PLEASE LOOK at my pictures and judge for yourself. I will not grade these.
THESE ROCK ISLAND MATCHBOOKS ARE ACTUALLY RED. MY CAMERA SOMETIMES DOESN"T LIKE SOME COLORS.
I AM NOT a collector and DO NOT know how to grade a stamp/matchbook so please grade them for your self. In my opinion, these are nice old stamps and covers and I am just pricing it as I have seen other sell IF I can find similar ones.
PLEASE ask questions before you bid and BE SURE it is what you want so we don't have to go through the hassles and costs of returning. Thank you.
