Welcome to our weekly online stamp auction! We have 200+ lots ending every Sunday open for bidding from worldwide collections to US First Day Covers and some of everything in between.
Lots are available for viewing in our offices and please let us know if you need more photos, more information about a lot, or would like to submit bids directly to us by phone, email or mail.
All lots will sell ending on Sunday afternoon on a staggered basis (the time will count down to 0) and a late bid will extend the time for that lot. If you bid on an item in the last few minutes it will extend bidding on that lot by 1 minute to try and minimize last-second sniping and also balance against overly extending bidding too long.
Check out our other auctions currently open for bidding on our website www.evstamps.com and please do let us know if you have any questions. We have a full service bricks and mortar stamp store in Richmond, Virginia (5317A Lakeside Ave) so give us a call or email if you plan to be in the area and would like to stop by! 1 US Stamps Colorano Silk FDCs Greetings from Americ US Stamps Colorano Silk FDCs Greetings from America complete sets, 100 total First Day Covers (34 & 37 cent denominations) neatly presented in Supersafe Covers album 2 US Stamps Colorano Silk FDCs 50 Babe Ruth 1983 tot US Stamps Colorano Silk FDCs 50 Babe Ruth 1983 total First Day Covers (different cachets) neatly presented in Sports Series album 3 US Stamps WII FDCs Celebrate the Century complete US Stamps WII FDCs Celebrate the Century complete set, 150 total First Day Covers neatly presented in Supersafe Covers album 4 US Stamps Colorano Silk FDCs 500+ total First Day US Stamps Colorano Silk FDCs 500+ total First Day Covers collection from the 1990s neatly presented in Covers albums, in bankers box 5 US Stamps Colorano Silk FDCs 500+ total First Day US Stamps Colorano Silk FDCs 500+ total First Day Covers collection from the 1970s-1980s neatly presented in Covers albums, in bankers box 6 US Stamps Colorano Silk FDCs 500+ total First Day US Stamps Colorano Silk FDCs 500+ total First Day Covers collection from the 1980s-1990s neatly presented in Covers albums, in bankers box 7 US Stamps Colorano Silk FDCs 500+ total First Day US Stamps Colorano Silk FDCs 500+ total First Day Covers collection from the 1990s-2000s neatly presented in Covers albums, in bankers box 8 US Stamps Used USPS Souvenir pages First Day colle US Stamps Used USPS Souvenir pages First Day collection from the 1970s-1990s neatly presented in 4 thick albums, in heavy bankers box 9 US Stamps FDCs 500+ total First Day Covers collect US Stamps FDCs 500+ total First Day Covers collection mostly from the 1980s-1990s, wide variety of cachet makers, fresh and neatly presented in Covers albums, in bankers box 10 US Stamps FDCs 500+ total First Day Covers collect US Stamps FDCs 500+ total First Day Covers collection mostly from the 1980s-1990s, wide variety of cachet makers, fresh and neatly presented in Covers albums, in bankers box 11 US Stamps FDCs 500+ total First Day Covers collect US Stamps FDCs 500+ total First Day Covers collection mostly from the 1980s-1990s, wide variety of cachet makers, fresh and neatly presented in Covers albums, in bankers box, includes one album of UN (mostly flags) 12 Space Topical Stamps hundreds mounted on black pag Space Topical Stamps hundreds mounted on black pages, mostly used 13 Sports/Olympics Topical Stamps hundreds mounted on Sports/Olympics Topical Stamps hundreds mounted on black pages, mostly used 14 US Stamps FACE VALUE $150+ Mint NH in variety of f US Stamps FACE VALUE $150+ Mint NH in variety of formats including USPS yearbooks, presentation pages, albums, etc 15 US Stamps FACE VALUE $600+ Mint NH singles & pla US Stamps FACE VALUE $600+ Mint NH in singles & plate blocks collections (4 total volumes) 1930s-1990s, in heavy bankers box 16 Supplies Crystal Mounts 40+ unopened packages plus Supplies Crystal Mounts 40+ unopened packages plus a few opened, H.E.
