A note about postage charges: due to the bulky nature of the packets and the larger lots containing souvenir sheets, we will be charging actual postage incurred to send the lots throught this sale, unless the postage comes to less than $3 in total, in which case we will continue to charge our standard rates. We will invoice the lots as normal, with basic postal charges and then will follow up with a second invoice after we return from the post office, and the cost of the postage is known. One exception is for smaller lots on 102 cards, which contain no souvenir sheets or covers.
