 My 50 year collection of Arkansas Postal History sold at Auction Feb 12, 2025 Minimize

Schuyler Rumsey Auctions in San Francisco sold  the highlights of my 50 year accumulation of Arkansas Postal History. To all those who bid and purchased the covers I am grateful.  I hope many of the covers will continue to be included in exhibits that tell the story of the Postal System in Arkansas for many years to come. My thanks to Schuyler and his staff for a great write up in the auction catalog and for their organization and input in the best way to present the material.




    
 ARKANSAS COVERS NOW FOR SALE in the APS StampStore on HipStamp Minimize

I have posted for sale over 200 Arkansas covers through the APS StampStore on HipStamp.

Click Here to see my listings in the APS Store on HipStamp

If this does not work,

Open HipStamp in your browser, then click "Stores" and choose the APS StampStore.
Then "Search in this store" enter 517730 which is my owner ID and you will see all the lots I have posted. 

 Some are revenues or other covers but most are Arkansas Postal History. 

You will deal with the APS, not me directly, and I don't take orders through this website.
I anticipate adding several hundred more Arkansas covers over the next year, so check HipStamp often.
