StampAuctionNetwork links 5 Awesome Search Tools!

Our latest feature at StampAuctionNetwork now gives you immediate access to 5 great search tools. After you do a Country and Catalog Search at StampAuctionNetwork, you can immediately link to the corresponding pages at The Philatelic Foundation's PF Search (2 tools - Certs and Population), and the Professional Stamp Experts ("PSE") population reports. There really more than 5 resources, but we are counting our own search as 1, and only the searches that are a click away. Once you are at Professional Stamp Experts, they have a number of other valuable resources.

The location of the links are show in the image to the right, highlighted in yellow.

  • The Philatelic Foundation's PF Search (Census/Population). The Philatelic Foundation’s PF Search Program allows you to easily find information about the stamps and covers the PF has examined and their final opinions about each item. At present over 540,000 images of stamps and covers examined by the PF between June 1984 and to date are in our searchable Certificate Archive. You can find both an image of the stamp or cover and the PF’s final opinion for each stamp or cover. The PFSearch program allows you easy access to a variety of information, including grades of stamps we have expertized. http://pfsearch.org/pfsearch/

  • Professional Stamp Experts ("PSE"). The Industry Leader in Postage Stamp Grading and Services. In addition to the link to their Population Report, you will find info on getting your stamps graded, SMQ Values, and a Set Registry. http://psestamp.com/
