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 Stampless Covers/Folded Letters group of 10, mid 1 Stampless Covers/Folded Letters group of 10, mid 19th century, variety of postmarks 2 Stampless Covers/Folded Letters group of 10, mid 1 Stampless Covers/Folded Letters group of 10, mid 19th century, variety of postmarks 3 Stampless Covers/Folded Letters group of 10, mid 1 Stampless Covers/Folded Letters group of 10, mid 19th century, variety of postmarks 4 Stampless Covers/Folded Letters group of 10, mid 1 Stampless Covers/Folded Letters group of 10, mid 19th century, variety of postmarks 5 Stampless Covers/Folded Letters group of 10, mid 1 Stampless Covers/Folded Letters group of 10, mid 19th century, variety of postmarks 6 CSA Postal History Wallpaper Cover from the well-k CSA Postal History Wallpaper Cover from the well-known Middleton correspondence with Flat Rock, N.C.
