******  IS IT REGUMMED??   IS IT REPERFED??    IS IT FAKE??   IS IT REPAIRED??   IS THE IDENTIFICATION CORRECT??   IS IT THE CORRECT COLOR??   PROTECT YOURSELF - READ THE EBAY GUIDE WE WROTE "Why Have Your Stamps Expertized"? ******

*****   WHY HAVE YOUR STAMPS EXPERTIZED???  *****  If you click on the pencil symbol next to the "ME" next to our seller name, you will find out the answer to this very important question. For more info, go to; http://www.stampexpertizing.com.

*****  Why pay $35. to $600. for an opinion, when you can get an amazingly fast (we try to return the day after receipt!) and respected opinion from William R. Weiss, Jr? See the "About Me" feature for information about our business and background.  Bill Weiss serves on both the APEX and PSE Expert Committees and writes opinions on over 4,000 items per year. Our service is fast, accurate and reasonably-priced. Merely send the item(s) to be expertized  along with your payment (as explained below).  THERE ARE NO SUBMISSION FORMS. Our expert service has been used by many eBay sellers including Mr Fancy Cancel, geokster, tleasures, providence360, wrexwrex, luv2dabl, zepfreak, dadstamps, auldthymes, dawley, parsons-1,  estampille, globalphilatelics and many more.

***** COST - Each item submitted is  $15. with certificate bearing a photo of the item tied to the certificate by my embossed seal, and with a black enlarged photocopy image, so what you are buying for this $15.00 eBay listing is for one certificate opinion.  Also available is a non-certificate opinion on an enlarged photocopy of the item (our "Mini-cert.") for $10. per item. COLOR ILLUSTRATION OF ITEM IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL $5.00 PER ITEM (on either the $10. or $15. opinion, just add $5. more and request COLOR). Cost of return shipping is extra.  This eBay listing is for one $15.00 opinion on a certificate as shown. If multiple opinions or certificate opinions are wanted, they are in addition to this single $15.00 offer.  Note that eBay requires that a mailing cost be filled in, thus we note 44c but return shipping is as noted here. *****

*****PROTECTING YOUR PROPERTY WHILE IN THE MAILS - We do not own what you send us - you do - thus if you place value on the item(s), we advise you to purchase protection against loss or damage while in transit to or from us.  Consult the USPO website for rates and options or ask your local post office. ***We have no liability for your property while it is in the mails and your purchase of this eBay offering constitutes your agreement to this fact.

***** CATAGORIES  WE EXPERTIZE - Virtually anything in United States, including all stamps, essays, proofs, specimens, entires, postal cards, revenues, stamps on cover, fancy and other cancellations or postal markings. If it's listed in the Scott catalog, we generally are able to do it. Sometimes we recommend certain items, aside from our opinion, also be sent to one of the 3 bigger services if we feel the value or nature of the item warrants additional expertization.  For example, we recently expertized a #482A valued at $50,000., with only 6 others known, so we suggested to the owner that he get an additional opinion from one of the other committees.*****

***** GUARANTEE - If any of the other 3 major expert committees gives an opinion on the identification of the item which is different from mine, we will refund all costs to you which were paid to us. This guarantee is without time limit, for my lifetime. *****
