Danish West Indies Stamps at Auction!

Last week I wrote about my introduction to the stamps of the Danish West Indies-- an area that is part of both many Denmark and Scandinavia collections-- but also an area that's considered part of quite a few US collections.

I spent part of the week sorting through my files and stock books, and decided that it was time for me to get organized and allow a number of stamps from my personal holdings to find happy new homes.

The thing is that-- in spite of my good intentions-- I am never going to have time to take on another specialty collection... so rather than sit on these fine old stamps any longer, I thought I should let go of them.

In the end, I came up with 53 of what I consider "better" stamps; good enough to have individual interest and these I have now put up for auction on eBay... and I'd like to invite my fellow collectors and readers of these pages to go have a look.

This is not "cheap junk" I am trying to unload, but some really GOOD stamps... with values to over US $300.00 in the Scott catalogue.

As I always do when I run auctions, I started all sales at just $0.99 with no reserves-- I think it's just fair that the market should set the price... and who knows, you might pick up a real bargain or two!

There's a strong selection for those who specialize in the "Bicolour" issues (many of them plated), as well as quite a few others. The link below takes you directly to the auctions:


Don't wait too long! The auctions end on Sunday, November 15th at 6:45pm US Pacific Time or 9:45pm US Eastern time. 

Thanks for your consideration! This is probably one of the best offerings on eBay in quite a while.
