FREE: Valuable Old US 5c Blue Panama-Pacific Stamp

The listing, Valuable Old US 5c Blue Panama-Pacific Stamp has ended.

Up for grabs: Another old US stamp-- it's a 5c blue, issued in 1913 for the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, Scott number 399. It is in used condition-- nice quality for an item almost 100 years old! The lack of perforations at left is from the natural sheet edge-- that's how old stamps were made. This is one of the best stamps I have on Listia at the moment, with a Scott catalogue value of $10.00.

Here's the bigger scoop: My mom and stepdad both passed away over the past couple of years, and I've been going through some of their old stuff-- they were both dedicated "savers" of everything. In some ways, I guess they were borderline "hoarders." My stepdad collected stamps, and this is from his collection-- although it's more like a giant pile of messy album pages and envelopes.

I think people should have fun bidding on stuff-- that's what auctions are all about! So the starting bids for my stuff will always be is FIVE credits, and we go from there, no matter HOW valuable something might be.
