Item Description

United States, Scott #5699, used(o), 2022, Distinguished Americans Series: Katharine Graham (1917-2001), owner and publisher of the Washington Post, led the post through the publications of the Pentagon Papers and the revelations of the Watergate Scandal, the first female head of a Fortune 500 company, stamp is from a photograph of Graham in the 1970s, at the peak of her influence as the owner and president of the Washington Post Company, stamp is the 17th issue in the Distinguished Americans Series; forever (78¢) covering the 2 ounce first class mail rate, serpentine die cut simulated perforation 11, issued on non-water soluble self adhesive panes of 20, multicolored, Scott 2025 catalog value: 25¢. Very slightly off-centered (very fine), double cancel, a perfin and post office machine cancel, perfin from the Oregon Stamp Society (OSS in pyramid), post office: light, black-inked, horizontal, wavy line cancel over the top half of the stamp, good perforations, stamp was soaked from the mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black trimmed card stock for an attractive and uniform album appearance; reasonable centering, mounting, and unique perfin cancel 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 $US1.65 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 $US0.73 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.
