Betsy & Chuck US Christmas Seal
Singles Price List – 1927+
#XN1
Many collectors save complete sheets back to 1932. That way they have everything: Printer’s Mark, Union Label, unique Portrait/Slogan Seals, constant plate flaws, etc. Their collection is also consistent in appearance, and they don’t need an album for these years since they can put nearly all sheets into inexpensive page protectors. Singles and blocks of modern self-adhesives are also impractical.
We will sell a Full Sheet (our choice of printer) from any year from 1932 to present for $1.50 (less a discount if you order several at the same time). For the previous five years, please see our separate Full Sheet price list.
But I Really Want Singles or Blocks…
If you want all the different designs of the normal National seal, and don’t care about the Portrait/Slogan Seals (1935 to 40 and 1946), a single is enough in many cases. For other years, here’s what you need:
Pair (two seals): 1936, 43, 55, 58, and 59
Pair (seal + gift tag): 1983, 85, 89 to 94, 97, and 2001 (A)
Block of 4: 1954, 56, 57, 60 to 65, 69, and 74
Block of 6 (4 seals + 2 gift tags): 1986 to 88 (B)
Block of 8: 1966, 68, 71, 99, and 2000 (For 1991 please get a full sheet.)
Block of 12: 1973
Block of 14: 1982 & 84 (the 2 gift tags included do not repeat seal designs)
Block of 20: 1967 & 72 (It’s not practical to sell 1972 as a 1´ 10 strip.)
Full Sheet: 1970, 1975-80, 1991, 1995, 1996, 1998
(A) For these years a single seal without the gift tag is priced like other singles.
(B) A block of 4 seals gives you all the basic designs.
Prices 1927 to present, National Designs (Our choice of Printer)
Except as noted, all prices are for full-perf singles and blocks. Of course, long strips will have Straight Edges at one or both ends. All will be never hinged.
Singles: 25˘ (including those in note (A) on reverse)
Pairs: 35˘ (including seal + gift tag) [Straight Edge: 25˘]
Blocks of 4: 50˘ (including those in note (B) on reverse) [SE: 35˘]
Blocks of 6 or more: 75˘ [SE: 35˘]
Full Sheets: $1.50 (1932 to present)
Printer and Other Varieties, Position Blocks, etc.
Suppose you want a single or block by a specific printer, of a certain perforation gauge, from a Spanish, Silver, Test Design, or Spring/Summer sheet, etc. Or you want Printer’s Mark, Union Label, or Portrait/Slogan blocks of a certain size. We will try to help you. The prices will likely be more than those above (the sheets are generally scarcer, and locating and labeling them is more work), but still less than the corresponding full sheets. However, it is not practical to create a price list for all possible seals in all possible formats. So…
If you are a serious potential buyer, please describe what you are looking for and we will and send it "on approval" with a net price for the whole lot.
By the way, self-adhesive seals are available only as full sheets .
Please ask if you haven’t seen our "Special Offers" Price List, which includes packets of singles. Thanks!
