Expertise

I have been a collector of stamps for well over 10 years now and about 5 of those have been selling on various different sites over the internet. I have the ability and knowledge to do my best in assisting anyone with questions regarding to, but not limited to, identification, evaluation, and any other philatelic related question. As I have sold for many years, I have a good feel for the philatelic market and have helped many people value their collections.

Experience in the area

10 years as a collector of pre-independence African countries and USA Scott listed revenues. I have sold stamps for the past 5 years on sites such as eBay and StampWants.com. I am also currently doing research in the area of 19th century USA fancy cancels.

Organizations

American Philatelic Society No. 200711, ARA No. 7038, Regular contributor to the Virtual Stamp Club.

Education/Credentials

University of St Andrews (Scotland, UK) graduate with a MA in International Relations and Business Management
