Description

The listing, 10x used Spanish ATM Postage Stamps has ended.

10 different used Spanish ATM postage stamps ("ATM" means "vending machine" in German and is short for Automatenmarken).

These were used in Spain approx. mid-1990's to 2007.

There are a variety of subjects on the stamps, including ships, trains, cars, motorcycles, buildings and others.

Condition: used (meaning that they are on paper will have some postal markings present).

You will receive 10 different stamps, counted out of the large lot shown in the photo (so no, you won't receive the entire bag obviously; that bag had close to 10,000 stamps in it and cost me quite a bit of money... since this bag contains a lot of duplicates, I am passing these on via Listia). There are approx. 120+ different designs available, in up to 6 different font variations, so the possibility of a complete collection is close to 1,000 different items). The German Michel ATM stamp catalog (which costs close to US $85.00) lists and values these stamps (which generally have a catalog value of Euro 1.50 to 2.00 (about $1.95 to $2.60) each.

As a side note: this stamps are all on clippings from envelopes or other mail pieces. It is strongly advised that you do NOT attempt to soak these off the paper. The inks on the stamps are fugitive (meaning they will dissolve in water, thus ruining the stamp if you soak them). It is recommend to collect them as is, perhaps carefully trimming the paper closer to the stamp.

I can't promise any particular design, I'll just pick the first 10 stamps out of the box.

Glad you like them! It's a fascinating area to study, not so much because of the various designs, but the various imprint variations that exist (Peseta and Euro denominations, wide vs. narrow fonts, different number of digits, error imprints, etc). I'm working on a 16-page exhibit about these for our club's next stamp show coming up in November!).
