| 2. |
The minimum bid is $2 or 25 percent of the
suggested bid value, whichever is higher. |
| 3. |
All lots will be sold to the highest bidder.
Bid the price you want to pay. All proceeds of this sale
will go to the AFDCS General Fund, and help support many
AFDCS functions. The AFDCS reserves the right to withdraw
any lot at any time. |
| 4. |
Successful bidders will be notified of lots
purchased and MUST REMIT payment before lot(s) can be
mailed. Successful bidders must pay actual postage costs
(minimum $1.50) and the proper amount of insurance on any
sale over $25. Successful bidders of bulk lots will pay
actual shipping costs. PayPal and Visa,
MasterCard and American Express cards accepted. |
| 5. |
Each lot is sold as genuine. If, in the
opinion of any competent authority acceptable to the AFDCS,
a lot is declared otherwise, the purchase price will be
refunded in full provided that such claim is received within
21 days from the date the covers are mailed to the bidder. |
| 6. |
Any lot, the description of which is
incorrect, is returnable within 21 days from the date the
covers are mailed to the bidder. |
| 7. |
Some toning of envelopes can be expected on
covers before 1940. Where heavy toning or defects exist,
they are mentioned in the lot descriptions. |
| 8. |
All covers are franked with a single stamp
unless otherwise described. |
| 9. |
Unsold lots may be reoffered in future
auctions or used for other AFDCS activities. |
| 10. |
Lot descriptions are designed to help the
prospective bidder, yet remain within a reasonable length to
save space. FDCs are listed by issue date or Scott Catalogue
number. Predates are clearly listed as such. (If you see a
date that is not the correct FD date, it is probably not a
predate. It is probably a typographical error.) |

Full color prints of lots may be requested at
the rate of 20¢ per cover (minimum of 2) payable in face
value USPS unused postage along with a #10 SASE. Submit your
