We have pretty much recovered from having to rebuild and relocate our web site. Jill redesigned the web site from scratch and was able to recreate most of our listings. Our on line customer files were lost which has required our customers to recreate their files and log ins. We also lost a lot images of our stamps and will be rescanning images for another month. Any time you want to see images of any listed items just ask us for them and we will scan for you.
We have acquired some exceptionally nice collections and will be adding many new items for the next several months, If you are looking for particularly difficult to find items keep checking our listings. We just completed revision of the Soviet sone which included a lot of price revisions – most downward. We also completed revision of Germany proper listings from #1 through #599 with lots of new additions.
We will be completing our new issue service for 2026 soon. We are still having great difficulty acquiring all new issues of German and Austria as the quality of their postal service continues to decline. Neither country provides a wide variety of stamp issues to local post offices. It is very very difficult to find postally used commemoratives from either country because most citizens can not buy them for postage. For that reason our listings of post 2000 used stamps will mainly be cancelled to order stamps. Hopefully we will have 2026 year sets on hand by years end. We will list them in our year set section of our web site as soon as we have them ready.
Also we will revise our new issue service to send current year issues only in one shipment at years end.
We are doing this because it is taking us much longer to acquire all of the new issues, Also most new issue collectors have figured out that buying in a complete year set format qualifies for a larger discount and reduced shipping charges.
Our Mailing Lists
Periodically we update our mailing list to remove inactive customers. If you have not bought from us from our price lists within the past 12 months but wish to continue to receive price lists, please let us know and we will keep you on our mailing list. The vast majority of our customers now order from our web site or send us want lists. By mail price lists are becoming rare birds now. We still maintain price lists but up date them far less often. We now list more varieties on our web site than on our printed lists – mainly because the varieties are often one or two of a kind and sell quickly. We can keep our web site listings up to date much easier than our printed lists. We add and delete items on our web site as we acquire and sell them.
If you have a computer but have not visited our web site, you should give it a look. We have many thousands of items listed and also have thousands of pictures of the more expensive items. You can order directly on line.
As we have price lists for 17 different collecting areas, and many of our customers collect only some of these areas, we have organized our mailing lists into the following categories
All – Lists for those who collect all areas we stock,
Austria – Lists for Austria and related areas.
Gal – Lists for Germany and all related areas – e.g. states, colonies and occupations.
Germany – Lists for Germany proper, Soviet Zone and DDR only.
GA – Lists for all German areas except Germany itself.
GS – German states only.
GC – German colonies only
If you aren’t getting a category of lists that you want – just let us know!

Stamps We Need
We are frequently asked if we buy stamps – really. After almost 50 years of stamp dealing, we do have a sizable stock, but we are always in need of some stamps. We can always use the really scarce singles and sets – items cataloging $200 and up.
Here are some of the areas that we most need including even the less rare items-
WWII German occupations – all except Bohemia, Croatia and the General Government.
German private post stamps – all
German offices and colonies – all mint
Post WWII local issues- both for Austria and Germany.
German states – mint issues for all areas.
Of course we also buy complete collections. When it becomes time for you to sell your collection please remember us.
