 We need any stamps of British Columbia & Vancouver Island in Very Fine mint with original gum and will consider VF copies, without gum as well. These stamps seldom come with perforations clear of the design all around. We do want sound, undamaged copies with very well balanced margins on all sides. We are also very interested in buying used copies in the same condition. BLOCKS of all values are very rare and all are of interest in Fine or better, both mint and used condition. COVERS, to or from British Columbia up to 1900 are of interest. Condition on these varies tremendously, and with the condition, the value. Choice covers demand very high prices, while tattered covers sell for less. Where the rates and routings are particularly rare or interesting, poor condition can often be acceptable as possibly, the only way a particular cover would be available.
CERTIFICATES OF AUTHENTICITY from the Vincent Graves Greene Philatelic Foundation (VGG), the Philatelic Foundation of New York (PF), or either of the Royal Philatelic Society of London (RPS) or the British Philatelic Society (BPA) are of great help when selling your stamps. We are always willing to pay a little more when the stamps or covers are accompanied by one of these. If you have such please include a photocopy of it with your offers.
