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 Worldwide Stamps in three albums & envelopes, lots Worldwide Stamps in three albums & envelopes, lots of late 20th century mint European, mostly Great Britain, plus hundreds of stamps throughout the albums 2 Topical Stamps Cats Collection on pages and in sou Topical Stamps Cats Collection on pages and in souvenir packs/glassines/etc, hundreds of cat related stamps, some dogs and other pets 3 US Airmail Stamps 1918-1970s Mint Hinged collectio US Airmail Stamps 1918-1970s Mint Hinged collection, includes #C1-C6 4 US Stamps $75 Face Value mostly in 3-5 Cent 1940s- US Stamps $75 Face Value mostly in 3-5 Cent 1940s-1960s Plate Blocks mounted in albums 5 US Special Delivery Stamps Mint Hinged CV $4000+ US Special Delivery Stamps Mint Hinged collection, includes #E1-E11 plus a few other back of book, mixed conditions with some toning and other faults CV $4000+ 6 US Stamps Covers Collection highlighted by a 1936 US Stamps Covers Collection highlighted by a 1936 Hindenburg Cover, plus other First Day Covers, 1960s mostly 7 Poland Stamps 1919-1989 Used collection on pages p Poland Stamps 1919-1989 Used collection on pages plus some stock pages, 1000+ stamps in thick binder 8 US Stamps #E1 Mint HHR CV $550, small perf fault & US Stamps #E1 Mint HHR CV $550, small perf fault & crease, well-centered 1885 Special Delivery 9 Uruguay Back of Book Stamps 1920s-1970s Used colle Uruguay Back of Book Stamps 1920s-1970s Used collection on pages, a bit scattered 10 US Stamps #JQ1-JQ5 Mint Disturbed OG, J1 with selv US Stamps #JQ1-JQ5 Mint Disturbed OG, J1 with selvege folded under and stuck CV $250+ 11 Great Britain Stamps #33 Plate 175 Reconstruction Great Britain Stamps #33 Plate 175 Reconstruction neatly organized and identified on pages 12 Great Britain Stamps #33 Plate Numbers collection, Great Britain Stamps #33 Plate Numbers collection, neatly organized and identified on pages 13 Great Britain Stamps #33 Corner Letters collection Great Britain Stamps #33 Corner Letters collection, neatly organized and identified on pages 15 Cuba Stamps 50+ Covers, 1950s-1960s, mostly airmai Cuba Stamps 50+ Covers, 1950s-1960s, mostly airmails with some first days 16 Great Britain Stamps 1840s Imperf issues with blac Great Britain Stamps 1840s Imperf issues with black Maltese Cross cancels on page 17 Great Britain Stamp #1 Mint Regummed with APS cert Great Britain Stamp #1 Mint Regummed with APS certificate stating it is "Unused, Regummed, Hinge Remnant, Toned" - scarce 1840 Mint Penny Black, only priced as with gum at CV $12,500 18 US Stamp #U1 Used Postal Stationery CV $1000 US Stamp #U1 Used Postal Stationery Entire with 1854 datelined enclosed letter, with some staining and embossed corner advertisement (Lewis Tysinger Grocer) CV $1000 19 US Stamp #C18 Mint Hinged baby Zeppelin Airmail St US Stamp #C18 Mint Hinged baby Zeppelin Airmail Stamp 20 US Gilded Postcards group of 12 early 1900s issues US Gilded Postcards group of 12 early 1900s issues, mostly Used with stamps 21 US Stamp First Day & Ceremony Programs, Used with US Stamp First Day & Ceremony Programs, Used with show cancels 22 US Stamps 5 Lindbergh Cards, 1928 flights with cac US Stamps 5 Lindbergh Cards, 1928 flights with cachets and #C10 23 US Stamps Prexie Covers, nice group with variety o US Stamps Prexie Covers, nice group with variety of usages, mostly 1940s 24 US Postcards 3 dimensional group, mix of Mint and US Postcards 3 dimensional group, mix of Mint and Used with stamps 25 Canada Stamps Back of Book Selection of Mint (most Canada Stamps Back of Book Selection of Mint (mostly NH) Official and Postage Due issues 26 Worldwide Stamps accumulation, includes some Mint Worldwide Stamps accumulation, includes some Mint France early 20th century in glassine plus some other odds and ends 27 US Stamps #3138 Mint NH VF Bugs Bunny Imperf souve US Stamps #3138 Mint NH VF Bugs Bunny Imperf souvenir sheet of 10 28 US Federal Duck Stamps Mint NH 1980s-1990s on 2 pa US Federal Duck Stamps Mint NH 1980s-1990s on 2 pages 29 1804 Stampless Folded letter Easton Maine CDS canc 1804 Stampless Folded letter Easton Maine CDS cancel and manuscript paid at upper right 30 US Stampless Cover Elkton Md with APS certificate US Stampless Cover Elkton Md with APS certificate stating it is genuine in all respects with PAID 3 in red 31 1839 Stampless Folded letter to Harlem (with Haerl 1839 Stampless Folded letter to Harlem (with Haerlem CDS), Forwarded handstamp in red, sent back to sender in Milton Hill (also from Milton Hill MD DPO, double rate notations at upper right 32 1842 FREE Frank Stampless Folded letter to Ohio, S 1842 FREE Frank Stampless Folded letter to Ohio, S.
