United States, Scott #4649, used(o), 2012, American Landmarks Series for Priority and Express Parcel Mail, stamp shows the Sunshine Skyway Bridge Priority Mail stamp, the bridge connects both sides of the opening of Tampa Bay in Florida, it is the longest cable-stayed concrete bridge in the world; the bridge is a type of suspension bridge where the weight of the deck is supported by a network of nearly straight diagonal cables extending from one or more vertical towers. These towers transfer the cable forces to the foundations through vertical compression; the cables run directly from the towers to the deck forming a fan-like series of parallel lines; it is the second bridge of the same name, replacing an earlier 1950s bridge that was destroyed in a ship accident; $5.15 priority mail parcel rate, serpentine die cut simulated perforations: 10¾x10½, offset lithography printed by the Banknote Corporation of America (BCA); issued in panes with non-water self adhesive gum, Scott 2025 Catalog Value: $5.75; nicely centered, triple strike cancels, all, red-inked, double-rimmed, quarter circular, socked-on-the-nose corner cancellations, one on the upper right, one on the lower right, and one on the lower left, with all largely clear of the main image, good perforations, 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 and uniform album appearance; mounting, centering, and image clear cancels 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 $US1.55 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 $US0.68 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. If not satisfied, return the stamp to me at your own expense, and I will refund the cost, but not my postage to you. If the stamp is not as described, I will refund the cost and reimburse you for postage both ways.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society (APS) 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.
