Our doors are open to anyone who is willing to part with their treasures knowing that we will appreciate them. In a world full of brands and labels, stamps remain a symbol of authenticity. We also evaluate historic currency and rare collectibles.
"Whether it was issued in a remote mountain village in Korea or in the stylish capital of France, each stamp is a work of art, a window to another world."
Today’s children do not know what stamps are, today everything is online, letters have become a rarity. Many people no longer remember that stamps are not always postage stamps; during the Civil War in the United States money stamps were used for the first time.
We appreciate the hard work and passion of philatelists, for whom collecting is not just a hobby, but a lifelong endeavor. We believe that each stamp is capable of telling its own unique story, of bringing to us its part of the larger mosaic of human history.
It is for this that we are willing to pay a high price.

How do we grade stamps?
Grading stamps is an intricate process that combines both art and science, requiring a deep understanding of philately.
Centering
The symmetry of the design within perforations. "Superb" for perfectly centered, down to "Average".
Perforations
Checking for full, intact, and uniformly shaped holes. Irregularities can lower value.
Color
Authentic colors should be vibrant. Fading or discoloration results in a lower grade.
Gum
Original, undisturbed gum is premium. Redistributed or damaged gum lowers the grade.
Cancellations
Light cancellations are preferred for used stamps. Heavy "killers" detract from value.
Standards
We aim to provide a clear, consistent, and fair measure of a stamp’s quality.
