We offer a free stamp screening service so that you can become informed without losing sight of your stamps.
Here are the details – if you decide to use it – please send photos of groups of stamps. Our service is free but we cannot open hundreds of scans which just have one stamp in each image:
Here is a summary of the screening service we offer:
We offer an ‘on-line’ collection pre-view screening service to collectors considering selling their collections – who may not have an initial idea of how desirable or valuable their collection may be.
If you wish – all you need to do is e-mail scans or digital images (or you can post photocopies) of what you consider to be the most interesting parts of your collection.
Please take pictures/scans of pages of stamps – not of individual stamps.
Please e-mail a trial few scans or digital images just for us to check that the quality is high enough for us to discern the actual stamps – and in return for you investing a little of your time we’ll invest some of our time and experience gained by our professional philatelists drawing on over 100 years cumulative experience of full time stamp dealing.
In this way – without cost of travelling time, petrol etc – we can help to inform you of the potential of your collection – so that, most importantly, you keep control of your stamps whilst learning more and if there is the possibility of something more valuable, we’ll tell you as we hope that we may be able to do business together.
If we spot items of interest we’ll help to progress your collection to full evaluation and sale should you wish.
We always, always reply to e-mails and scans sent – so if you receive no reply after 24 hours or possibly 48 hours over weekends – we will not have received your e-mail – you can re-send or contact us to check.
Once we have received and checked your trial images you can e-mail us as many scans as you wish, some owners have even sent us CD’s with up to 300 pictures which we have gladly checked through free of charge.
