Updates and Announcements

Welcome to The Classic Cancel!

I hope that you enjoy your visit.  Please browse my selection of quality 19th century used United States stamps and postal history.  My emphasis is on cancellations and covers with strong visual impact.  It is this element of our hobby that I believe draws many of us to it.

My stock is organized by stamp issue and generally grouped by stamps and covers.  Individual stamps will be displayed with their corresponding description on the same page.  Covers, stamp multiples and newly posted stamps will be displayed as thumbnails that may be viewed enlarged by clicking on the thumbnail images.  (Press your Back button to return to the page.)

Direct access to any individual page within a category is available through the New Items page, where you can easily locate recently updated pages.  Additionally, you may perform flexible word searches against the content of The Classic Cancel.  Just click Site Search to link to the search page.

All items are priced net (see Terms of Sale regarding postage, handling and insurance) and are offered subject to prior sale.  Items will be sold in the order that customer email requests are received.  Items no longer available will be labeled SOLD

To order from the site, click Send eMail on any page.  Please indicate in your message the item numbers of the stamps and covers that you wish to order.  I will contact you regarding availability, payment and shipping.  Feel free to ask me any questions about items or to provide comments regarding the site.  I strive for accurate and complete descriptions and welcome your input.  My entire stock is not displayed on these pages, so inquiries are encouraged.  I also maintain records of customer interests to better serve your collecting needs.

I will be continually updating this site as New Items arrive.  So, check back frequently.  Something of interest is sure to show up!

Occasionally I will offer lots in auction.  Click eBay to see my current offerings.

So, have a look around, stay awhile and enjoy!
