Item Description
United States, Scott #3667, used(o), 2002, Women in Journalism Series, stamp honors: Journalist Ethel L. Payne (1911-1991); an African-American journalist; known as the "First Lady of the Black Press;" she was a columnist, lecturer, and freelance writer.; she combined advocacy with journalism as she reported on the Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and 1960s, and was known for asking questions others dared not ask; she was first published in The Chicago Defender in 1950 and worked for that paper through the 1970s, becoming the paper's Washington correspondent and editor for a period of about 20 years; she became the first female African-American commentator employed by a national network when CBS hired her in 1972; 37 cents, multi-colored, serpentine die cut simulated perforations: 11x10½; printed on non-water soluble panes, nicely centered, large, very light, double-rimmed, black-inked, quarter circular socked-on-the-nose corner cancellation at the lower right and into the main image; however the lightness of the cancellation and the broken up effect leaves the main image largely clear, good perforations, stamp was issued pressure-sensitive, self-adhesive panes with a water insoluble gum, this stamp was soaked from the mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black trimmed card stock for an attractive album mounting; centering and offset cancellation warrants a selling price premium. This is not a 'bait-and-switch;' the stamp you see will be the one you receive.Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.30 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.58 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra shipping expense for the added purchases. I will send the purchase by US first class mail, since the relatively low value of the stamp does not warrant signature or tracking mail. Hence the buyer assumes risk of loss or non-delivery. I will keep a scan of my mailing to verify that the correct mailing address was used.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
