Lot 1 - Assorted Split-Back Black and Clear Showguard Stamp Mounts

A large envelope filled with several packages of Showguard brand stamp mounts, plus many loose strips and a good amount of scrap partial strips. Most are black background and there are also some clear. All appear to be the split-back type. The complete, or nearly complete packs include: 1 clear 30 mm size, 1 black 42 mm, 1 black 46 mm, 1 black 32 mm and black 35 mm. The loose and complete stris include 16 black 52 mm strips, 3 black 42 mm, 5 clear 38 mm, 7 black 32 mm, 13 black 29 mm, 31 black 21 mm and 13 clear 21 mm strips. I didn't bother to sort and measure the scrap pieces, but there is probably the equivalent of 10 strips in the same range and mix of sizes. The final item is a showguard philatelic gauge, which includes rulers and a perf gauge that is accurate to 1/2 perf. from 9 to 16, so it will work for most stamps. Net est. $10-$15.

Please note that for bulky items we will be charging actual shipping cost, rather than the usual first class letter rate. We would be happy to supply estimates of what the shipping cost will be if you tell us which items you are planning to bid on. Usually, we bill the estimate and then either refund or re-bill the difference after we return from the post office. Generally Canada Post's rates are most expensive for parcels between 3 pounds and about 15 pounds. Once you go above 15 pounds up to the 70 pound maximum, the price levels off at between $50-$75 within Canada, whereas a parcel that weighs 3 pounds can be $25. So the more you buy the cheaper the shipping gets on a per item basis. So, if you need supplies this may be the time to stock up at bargain prices.
