The listing, Very Old 1c gray-blue US Stamp with Benjamin Franklin from 1881 has ended.
Here's a VERY old US stamp-- it's a 1c grayish blue with Benjamin Franklin, I *think* it is Scott number 206 from 1881, although I am NOT an expert on US stamps. It is in used condition with an interesting looking postmark; seems in quite good condition for such an old stamp.

This week it is ALL older better stamps from the USA.
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.
Thanks for your interest, and good luck!
