Stella Stevens Zinc Newspaper Printing Plate Pin-up

Click to View Image Album
Stella Stevens metal printing plate with moderate wear and corrosion. I have several of these antique newspaper printing plates that I picked up from an old newspaper guy. He called them 'Zincs', so perhaps they are made of Zinc or maybe that's a trade term. They are from a newspaper in San Jose, CA, although I picked them up in Chicagoland. Most have some degree of corrosion. There are no duplicates. They are mostly stars from the 1950s-1970s. They are difficult to photograph, but please take note of the condition. No returns on these based on condition. I can ship them inexpensively by First Class Mail (or Airmail) in a bubble envelope, at your risk, or in a box by Priority Mail (in the US). AA battery used for scale, not included in the auction.

Payment

Personal checks only accepted from users with at least 20 positive feedback and over 95% positive feedback.

I accept the following forms of payment:

PayPal

Shipping & Handling

Please use the SHIPPING CALCULATOR below on the right for DOMESTIC OR INTERNATIONAL shipping rate estimates. I mail everything domestic by US Postal Service with Delivery Confirmation. Since Priority Mail just got package size dependent, sometimes you will get a Parcel Post downgrade if the box is very large. If you need a large item very fast, be prepared to pay alot for Priority or Express mail shipping, and make it very clear that you are in a hurry in our correspondence. International shipping is AT YOUR RISK IF YOU DO NOT PAY FOR EMS by First Class International Airmail (Small items under 1kg) and Priority Mail International (larger items and items over 1kg). If you want INTERNATIONAL TRACKING, you will have to pay for Express International shipping, available upon request and very expensive. A customs number does not provide tracking, and I am cannot be responsible for delays in international shipping. If your international item is lost and you did not upgrade to Express Mail (EMS), LOSS IS AT YOUR EXPENSE. Yes I do charge 'handling' which is $0.75 (domestic) or $1.00 (international). I may charge $2 for Express Mail or Registered mail in addition to postage. Why? This covers the cost of online postage, labels, tape, and time filling out forms. Aside from this charge (which I assure doesn't come close to covering the expenses of selling on eBay), I try to ship at or very close to cost. My shipping prices are often estimates, and I am sometimes off in your favor or my favor by a small amount. If I am off by $3 or more in my favor, I will refund the difference BY PAYPAL ONLY (regardless of your payment method) upon request only after receiving positive feedback.

US Shipping

$2.50 USPS First-Class Mail®

International Shipping

$3.00 USPS Airmail to Canada
$6.00 USPS Airmail outside US/Canada

Communication

If I have not replied to your email within 72 hours, I probably did not receive it, or you did not receive mine. Try resending your email from a different email address.

After the auction

Don't bother bidding if you can't pay within 48 hours by Paypal or communicate by email the specifics of your payment plans. I am very flexible as long as you communicate your payment plans to me within 48 hours of auction end.

Returns

Returns are accepted, but items must be received in the condition that they were mailed. Shipping is NONREFUNDABLE. Return shipping is at your expense. 'AS-IS' items are sold as nonrefundable, no returns accepted.

Feedback

DO NOT LEAVE ME NEUTRAL OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK! I will do everything reasonable within my power to make this transaction satisfactory to you if something goes wrong. IF A REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE WOULD NOT LEAVE YOU SATISFIED ENOUGH TO LEAVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK, DON'T BOTHER BIDDING! I do not leave feedback until you do. That means that no matter when you leave me positive, my feedback bot will automatically leave you positive feedback.

Insurance and International bidders

I use DELIVERY CONFIRMATION on all items in the US, which IS NOT TRACKING. This service is NOT available for INTERNATIONAL buyers. If you are worried about loss or damage by the US Postal Service, please buy INSURANCE. Otherwise, loss or damage by them is at your risk. I pack carefully, so problems are very rare. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE READ BELOW: I will only ship by Express Mail (EMS) to the following locales: Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, Africa, China, Thailand, India, Phillipennes. I reserve the right to insist on EMS to countries without established postal service records (i.e. places I haven't shipped to before). International insurance is only available for International Priority Mail and Express Mail (EMS) parcels (the US Postal Service's policy, not mine). If you do not pay for EMS, I can't guarantee receipt of your item. Although most letter packages (small parcels under 1kg/4lbs) are received quickly without problems, if you don't pay for EMS, INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. This policy comes from the fact that I cannot track items or ensure receipt or control circumstances involving customs in your country or other factors in the receipt of your international item. If the item is expensive or particularly meaningful to you, please pay for EMS (which generally starts at $35 for a 1lb/250gm package).
