Welcome, ISJP members!

I have more than 500 Japanese items listed in my StampWants store, but I have so much more to do!  (I've listed about 5% of what I'd like to offer.)  So, please let me know your interests, and that will help me enormously in prioritizing my "to do" list.  There is absolutely no obligation on your part.

 

    A quick overview:

On StampWants (which is now also called BidStart), I've listed nearly 500 Japan items, including:

  • Earlier Japan singles & sets (1890s to 1960s):
     

  • recent Japan (1988 & later)
    with an emphasis on prefectural stamps and booklet panes
    (lots of prefectural booklet panes!)   

 

I've also set up some special searches for Japan:

Just jump in and browse around!

 

I've also got a smattering of other countries listed as well, just in case these includes your collecting interests:

  • and North Korea has invaded the Philatarium as well. 


Also, be sure to also visit the Stamp Hospital:

The Stamp Hospital is the way I'm identifying those items that have problems of some kind:  excessively hinged, disturbed gum, thins, scuffs, or sometimes just more wrinkled than they ought to be.

They are, in fact, often object lessons about how not to mount stamps.  Compared to their pristine "before" siblings, these are the "afters".

But they're still lovable, have many collectible years left in them, and need a good home.  Won't you adopt one?

(And they're priced to move!)

 


 

So, check out the fixed-price stamps for sale now at StampWants/BidStart.

Stay tuned for much more Japan.  And if you don't see what your looking for, just send me an email.  I have lots of material to prepare, and can make your interests a priority.


Nothing on eBay just at the moment.  But I am planning to list there again fairly soon.  I'll post that on this page once items are listed there.

Right now, I'm putting my attention on listing items for fixed-price direct sale on StampWants/BidStart..
