About

I deal primarily in collectable postage stamps but have moved most of this business to another "Hip" stamp site. I often have a wide range of other things to sell here on eBay. Please contact me if you have any questions about one of my listings

    Shipping was fast and item was as described. I tried communicating with the seller before I purchased, to no avail. Shipping charges cost as much or more than the item, so perhaps a bit high. Good experience overall.

Not as good as the first ODD novel
BROTHER ODD is the third in a series of Dean Koontz novels featuring Odd Thomas, an interesting, witty, and likable character who happens to see ghosts. This third installment is better than the second book, FOREVER ODD, but neither of the sequels are as good as the first ODD THOMAS novel which I consider to one of Koontz's best books (I rate WATCHERS as his best). I recommend ODD THOMAS without reservation, but suggest that you save your money borrow a copy of FOREVER ODD and/or BROTHER ODD from your local library. I also recommend that you read ODD THOMAS prior to reading the other books. Each book stands alone, but reading the best book first will increase your enjoyment of the following two.

An Essential Tool for the US Stamp Collector
You will not find a better catalogue for US stamps. The "Scott Specialized" is the single most essential reference for collectors who wish to become/stay knowledgeable about US stamps. The numbering system used by Scott to identify stamps is the standard among stamp collectors in the United States. Most eBay listings for US stamps will refer to their Scott number. Be sure to purchase the specialized edition if you want comprehensive details on stamp varieties, errors, booklets and panes, postal stationary, postal history, etc. It includes more information than Volume One of the Scott Catalogue which also contains listings for US stamps. The move to color photographs in 2005 greatly enhanced the usability of the specialized catalogue as a stamp identification tool. Stamp values shown in the catalogue are updated each year to reflect market trends. Nevertheless, these values are only indications of value. Most stamps sell for a percentage of their catalogue value. You will find many damaged, heavily cancelled, or poorly centered stamps selling on eBay for 5% to 20% of their Scott Catalogue value. Desirable stamps in “GEM” condition are generally sold through other venues where they often sell at a premium over catalogue value. New editions of the Scott Specialized Catalogue are published in the fall of each year, so the current edition will not contain all of the stamps released by the Postal Service during the calendar year. Since I do not focus heavily on current issues, I typically skip a year between my purchases of the catalogue. New collectors should not pass up the chance to acquire a catalogue that is several years old if it is in good condition and can be purchased at a fair price. Once you acquire one – READ IT – I’m surprised by the number of people who never have a peak at “that stuff in the front” and never bother to look beyond the airmail section. The sections in the front and in the back of the book are required reading if you wish to become a knowledgeable US stamp collector.

A good reference for the US collector
The Brookman Price Guide is not my first choice of US stamp catalogues because it is not as comprehensive and informative as the Scott Catalogue. Nevertheless, it is a good source for the US collector. Stamps are identified by Scott number, and all the stamps shown can actually be purchased from Brookman at the prices listed. Earlier editions have black and white illustrations and do not show every stamp available in the marketplace. Brookman does price mint sheets and autographed covers, however, which Scott does not. I also find Brookman's First Day Cover section more informative than Scott's. The major advantage of Brookman over Scott lies in the spiral bound format. The spiral bound version of the Brookman Price Guide is well worth the extra money because it is very easy to work with. Pick one up and compare for yourself.
