Collect stamps over 155 years old issued by the short-lived Confederate States of America. When the Union shut down the mail service to the South, the Confederate States had no choice but to print their own postage stamps. The resulting stamps are full of interesting philatelic history!
Mystic mounts are the best way to keep your stamps safe and looking great for years to come. Stamps are held securely in place against a black background – making the colors "pop" and adding definition to perforations. With this mount package you'll get 50 split-back mounts of each size collectors most commonly use.
This is a great album to start with because it pictures U.S. stamps that are easy to find and buy. As a bonus, we’ll include 100 used U.S. stamps, 1,000 hinges for attaching stamps in their album, and Mystic’s Guide to Stamp Collecting – all for FREE. It’s a terrific value.
Plate proofs are found on both India paper and card stock. They were made from finished plates and are excellent impressions, showing a sharpness and color far superior to the stamps themselves.
