Buying Mexico VF NH

Welcome to the "Stamp Specialist" blog, which will mainly include buy lists for stamps that I wish to purchase. These lists are subject to change in accordance with fluctuations of the stamp market. I shall be publishing buy lists for stamps of many different countries, so you may wish to remain current by viewing them every now and then.

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 Mexico 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.
