BROOKMAN CATALOGUE VALUE IS
.90 - .05
The Auction:
This is a complete
SPECIALIZED
set of
25
stamps FVF and
MNH
. It contains all non-error issued
TRANSPORTATION
coils from
1897
to
1908.
This is the FIRST series, which was issued between
1981
and
1991
. The set offered here includes all of the
Scott major numbers
and non-error
minor number
listings including precancels.
Scott 1907 Surrey was the very first Transportation coil issued in this huge set that now has over 100 total varieties. The keys to this first set are all 3 precancel overprint varieties of the 17c Electric Auto. They are Bureau styles
5-A, 5-B, and 5-C
respectively.
The precancel type is determined by measuring (in millimeters) the approximate length of the word "
PRESORTED
" shown with red arrows above. The overprints were added using various flexible mats that stretched or were manufactured imprecisely causing differences in this measure. Type C overprints exist in lengths from about
13.5
mm to over
14
mm.
In some cases we use Brookman minor numbers like
"v"
or
"ac"
, which are technically not Scott numbers but help to identify. The varieties can be complicated to assemble but we guarantee accurate identification.
Many of these beautiful coils have very fine centering. There is a
30
% premium
for
VF
but we offer better quality at our regular low price!
If you purchase 2 sets we will send pairs
.

at any time
that you are ready. Payments should be made within "
reasonable time
" following purchase. If this is not possible then please contact us ahead of time to make payment arrangements.

Important information about Shipping & Feedback
Regarding Shipping:
Items will be shipped together (
even if you ignore these polite reminders and pay separately).
Shipping is always free to USA. We actually lose money on shipping and have not raised our rates in over 15 years!
The security of your order is guaranteed by our special packaging. Tracking is provided when available.
We ship Internationally but not to every country in the world. Please verify postage rates before purchasing. Large International orders will be shipped via US Registered Mail at current rates. Please understand that
Registered International
mail might take as long as a month to deliver after we have posted it and patience is appreciated.
We always ship at earliest convenience. This means that a mail-run may occur multiple times a day. We have no control over the speed of mail, but have found the USPS to be very reliable. We strive to be competitive in all aspects of the eBay market. If for any reason you are unhappy we hope that you will contact us for quick resolution.
Regarding Feedback:
Feedback
is left following the conclusion of each transaction. Feedback is not left immediately because the transaction is not over until you have your stamps and we know that all is well. The fastest way to receive feedback is to leave it for us and we should soon respond in turn.
We always leave feedback for each positive transaction. There is never a need to ask us. We never send messages to customers asking for feedback but hope that they will choose to leave a positive.
We would rather work things out but reserve the right to refuse service to anybody at any time. Stamp collectors as a whole are very honest people. A few bad apples attempt to manipulate the system for personal gain or other reasons. These parties are blocked. We politely ask blocked bidders not to contact us.
