This sheet is as fresh as the day it was purchased from the post office 25+ years ago and is suitable for framing. If you're a stamp collector, it is Scott # 2765 plate # 1122 1 RIGHT.
For First Class, flat shipping with a stiff cardboard backing for mint sheets I charge a flat rate of $3.00 for items purchased with one payment and sent to US addresses. That covers as many sheets as you win, so bid on several and save on postage. For other items and International addresses, actual postage costs will be charged.
