NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS - JANUARY 7, 2026

Belated Merry Christmas & Happy New Year; I hope your holidays were pleasant.
I've been promising you some action on the Mercantile Issues (U400-419) by UPSS #, and in December, I finally kept a bit of that promise.
It's not as easy as it sounds. You wouldn't think that a mere 20 Scott numbers could generate so much work. But the huge lots I bought a few years ago were put together by the ancient ones LONG BEFORE I got my hands on them. In the "good old days", most collectors weren't all that fussy... and the condition I deliver is in line with what collectors of TODAY want... which often requires much weeding out of junk.... which is where most of my cut squares and full corners come from.

BY THE WAY, I've significantly upgraded my FULL CORNER listings between U446 and U521.

So for now, I have some new items listed, as well as a few which I had in stock for awhile, but sold out years ago.... and now I have them in stock again. You can check out my listings of "NEW INVENTORY" - top line in the column at the left.

Best Regards.
Steve

WELCOME TO SteveLevineStamps-PLUS!
(A division of Empire State Philatelics, Inc.)

I specialize in U.S. Postal Stationery: Cut Squares, Stamped Envelopes, Postal Cards, Air Letter Sheets, and First Day Covers.

     I also stock: U.S. Stamps & First Day Covers, Souvenir Cards, Souvenir Pages, U.N., Worldwide Stamps, "Cinderella" items (Poster Stamps, Christmas Seals, Philatelic Exhibition Labels...as well as Locals, Reprints, Facsimiles) and much more.

     Until recently I maintained an old-fashioned, 20th Century "text-only" website. It did its job well, but now it's time for this old dinosaur to enter the 21st Century. This will take awhile, so I beg your patience. I currently (January, 2025) have about 10,000 items on this website... but there's a lot more to be listed. When this website is fully loaded, my stock of Poster Stamps and other "Cinderella" items will be second to none.

A few examples of the classics are shown at the right. Presently (February, 2025) I only list about 200 items, but there are boxes of the stuff sitting in my storage room. If you don't see what you want now, please check in from time to time. At this time, my priority is still U.S. Postal Stationery.... but I promise, sooner or later I'll finish that job and get to work on the Cinderella listings. If you're looking for U.S. Postal Stationery, you'll find over 8,000 items on this website.

The "heart" of my business is my SPECIALIZED ENVELOPES LIST by UPSS# still. You can find them in the DIRECTORY at the left. If you're an advanced U.S. Envelope collector by Size/Knife/Watermark, then this is the list you want to see.

Listed below are my "Featured Products", some of the more difficult and expensive items I sell. I sell stamps for $500.00, and I also sell stamps for 25c.

If you're looking for bargains, the first thing you should do is check in with my "CURRENTLY ON SALE!" category. Just click the top category at the left to view some great deals. (NOTE: I've just begun to load this section; there will be plenty more!)
