The listing, Very Old US stamp, 1c ultra with Benjamin Franklin from 1879 has ended.

Up for auction is a very old US stamp-- it's a 1c dark ultramarine with Ben Franklin! I'm pretty sure it's Scott number 182 from 1879, with a catalogue value of $6.00-- so not a "cheapie" stamp. It is in used condition with a very light purple postmark. Nice color, and looks to be in pretty good shape for a 135-year old stamp.

This week I am listing ALL older stamps from the USA including some quite valuable ones, so have a look! And if you win multiple bids, they will be sent together.

Here's the bigger scoop: My mom and stepdad both passed away a few years ago, 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 accumulated 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.

OFFICIAL LISTIA ADDRESSES ONLY! No private email stuff, no "can you send it here instead" stuff and so on.

Thanks for your interest, and good luck!
