Mystic Stamp Co.
I sent away for the Mystic color catalog of US stamps recently.
It arrived along with some old used US stamps (which I returned unopnened.) The catalog is really quite a work of art, with great photography. However, Mystic's prices seem to be very high. Far higher than I've been paying for stamps on eBay. Anybody here ever do business with Mystic? They keep sending me offers to buy a selection of stamps for $5 or $10. |

I'd expect practically any dealer's price to be higher than what you see on eBay. Mystic has been in business since 1923 so they must be doing something right. Bill |

Bill For many of us that live in the middle of nowhere where the closest stamp shop is 300 or 400 miles away, it is kind of nice to get a small cache of stamps delivered to our front doors on a regular basis. My very first approvals came from Kenmore back in the 60's when I was about 10, I am 58 now and have done business with them in one form or fashion for almost 50 years. I've probably paid too much for what I have purchased from both Kenmore and Mystic, but I have enjoyed every minute of it. Enjoyment is after all the whole point of having a hobby. When it comes to higher priced material I tend to bid on Ebay for it, and yes I still buy a package of 1000 all different now and then just for the fun of the hunt. Even though I lived in the middle of nowhere in northern Maine, now I still live in the middle of nowhere in Southern Oklahoma, I have enjoyed my stamp collecting hobby for almost 50 years due to the fact that companies like Kenmore and Mystic provide service right to my front door.

I just went to Kenmore's site and ordered their catalog (which, like Mystic, will come with approvals.) I'm curious to see by how much, if any, their prices differ from Mystic. |

I've done business with them a long time ago, nothing recently other than to request the same catalog. EVERYTHING they offer in their ads comes with approvals, which I automatically return unopened. And yes, their prices for individual stamps are well above the norm. -- //Steve// |
