All goods will be in undamaged condition unless they are properly described and priced as space fillers, this is usually only offered in more highly catalogued items. It has always been our policy never to sell stamps which are torn, thinned or with missing perforations. We fully describe the condition of all listed goods and if required, will send an e-mail showing any of the items you wish to see.
The same applies to banknotes where we try to give a clear grading guide. Notes
in lower grades are usually grubby, creased, folded or with small tears.
Cigarette Cards are much harder to describe so we have only listed sets in higher grades, if you require lower grades or odds please let us have your wants list so we can send you a quote.
With coins we have again given the best grading to match the condition.
In all cases if you are not happy with the goods you can return them for a full refund. We do ask for them to be returned well packed and by a safe way of posting, proof of posting must be kept.
