COMPLETE VINTAGE MYSTIC STAMP CO. “SA SELECTION” — 14 U.S. STAMPS ON ALL 12 ORIGINAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS, PLUS THE ORIGINAL MYSTIC PRICE SHEET.
This is a much more attractive collector group than a loose accumulation of stamps. Each selection remains with its original Mystic Stamp Co., Camden, N.Y. presentation card identifying the Scott number, year and original price. The original SA Selection price sheet is also included and shows a period total value of $33.00 with a $30.00 “Buy All & Save” price.
The collection spans approximately 87 years of United States postal history, from the Civil War era through the early postwar period.
