Buying Uruguay VF NH




I currently write the StampSelector.com blog, which recommends various stamps for investment, and offers practical advice and general commentary for stamp collectors, investors, and dealers. As a stamp dealer living in Rockville, Maryland, I purchase and appraise stamp collections in the Washington, DC and Baltimore, Maryland areas. I'm a long-standing member of the American Philatelic Society.

I am interested in buying the following stamps of Uruguay in Very Fine, Never Hinged condition. Please do not send any misdescribed or overgraded stamps, as these will be returned by insured mail at your expense.
