The listing, Old US 4c Stamp from 1893 Fleet of Columbus has ended.
Here's another very old US stamp-- it's a 4c blue issued in 1893 for the 400th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of America. It is Scott number 233. It is in used condition with a small "cork" postmark. It's not in perfect condtion, but still pretty nice for such an old item, and It has a catalogue value of $9.00 per Scott's, so not just a common 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!
