I wanted to introduce you to my way of describing the stamps I sell. All of the stamps I have chosen for sale in
The Store have been selected for general overall freshness and good color. I have elected not to mention that in my
descriptions as I fear it would become rather redundant. If there is a particular feature of a stamp that is noteworthy,
however, I will mention that. If there are any faults, they will be mentioned as well.

As far as hinging goes, I have tried to be as specific as I can. The word "Mint" means only that the stamp(s) has
original gum. It does NOT imply Never Hinged. You may only consider a stamp or set to be Never Hinged if it is
specifically stated as such. But, if you see the word "Mint" you may assume that it has original gum. If I use the term
"Unused" then the stamp will either be without gum or regummed and I will note that. If I use the term "Ungummed" then
the stamp or set was issued without gum. Here are the hinging abbreviations I use:
NH - Never Hinged
LH - Lightly Hinged (no remnants)
H - Hinged; No remnants but not lightly hinged either
HR - Hinged with remnant(s)
HH - Hinged with multiple remnants
If you would like a photo of the gum side of any stamp, I can provide that.
