We are a husband and wife team (Scott & Carmen) that has fun buying and selling stamps via our website, mail order, and through online auctions. Scott specializes in dead countries and pre-1940 stamps, while Carmen likes to collect topicals ... especially cat stamps.

Between lesser-known online auctions, long-time relationships, and local dealers, it feels like I've finally tapped into an endless supply of stamps. I often buy huge quantities, because I enjoy going through piles of "stuff". I find it fun & relaxing. I'm also an author of mostly sci-fi and odd stories & poems.

I have been an eBay PowerSeller off and on for many years now, and have an eBay rating of over 6,000. I ship out about 1,000 lots per year, well over 10,000 since starting online in 1996. I have priced inventory for some large local dealers, and used to be the webmaster for the San Diego Philatelic Library.
