1000+ Vintage Used USA Postage Stamps Off-Paper Stamp United States Stamp Collecting by Captain Nikkiesavage

Too many duplicates

Pack of 1,000 used postage arrived on time and appropriately paxkaged in padded envelope. Have not yet had time to work on stamp album since these arrived, so I dont know about the assortment received. Looks OK.

All around nice assortment of stamps. I got about 100-120 stamps that were nice and before 1970 (I have an old CItation album, that ends in that year), and about 1,000 from there after (so much more than 1,000 stamps). I got many duplicates, about 2 dozens for a very known flag stamp (I still need to verify it more closely, as there are many variations of the same design, but with shifts in color, year, and so on). About 5-6 other stamps had a least 8 duplicates, and then there were about 20 stamps with 3 or more duplicates. However, I now have at least 6 stamps per page in about 50 pages of my Independence 2015 album, and about 80 pages with at least 3 stamps. And lots for exchanging. Very few were torn (maybe 8?), including a very rare stamp. About 12 were mint stamps. Five were attached to paper. One was from India. Glad I bought it and will buy again.

I'm probably about to make stamp collectors cringe, but I ordered these for journaling decoration. But I do like stamps and I know that they show significant times in our history and I always liked collecting things. These are very nice and some of these I have seen before in my life time at my grandma's house. I found one that was posted in 1961. There are a ton of duplicates or so it seems, it's hard to go through 1000+ stamps, but I had quite a variety of U.S flag stamps and noticed that some were still connecting, which probably indicate someone had to put more than one stamp on the envelop when mailing. I've received some that had to be carefully cut from envelops and surprisingly there was one in here that is still listed for sale of USPS website "Navajo Jewelry" (I don't mind because I wanted one, and now I have it) oh, and found "Silver Coffeepot" which I just recently purchased from USPS. I love the variety of this...for my purposes, I like the duplicates and the originality of how they were used, the ones that were still attached remained attached. This is a part of history. I also received four stamps in a little envelop, not sure if important but seems like it.

Great batch of stamps.

This was my second order of these stamps because I was so pleased with the first only to be disappointed because of the number of duplicates. Not duplicates that I already had I know that is not your problem, but I had several stamps in there where there were at least 20 stamps of the same stamp the variety of stamps was really bad I will not be ordering these again either.

Overall though, a nice selection.

I received my stamps and overall it really wasn't that good. There were lots of duplicates and a lot of mishandled stamps. I don't know if the person who packed them had sweaty hands or if they were drinking a big soda but there were clumps of stamps stuck together. They ripped when pulled apart. It's not even a "Just OK" order.
