Collectors Corner^SM: The Collectibles Marketplace

Rupp Brothers specializes in exceptional-quality graded stamps. We are keen to acquire never hinged commemoratives (through 1934) and air post stamps (Scott #C1-C24) that are graded 98-nh and 100-nh. Scarce 19th Century and early 20th Century stamps, such as the 1869/1875 Pictorials (#112-133), Large Bank Note Issues (#134-218), First Bureau Issues (#246-284) and 1909 Bluish Papers (#357-363) are desired in grades 90-ph and higher.

If you desire to work with a straight-forward and highly experienced professional philatelist, please telephone or email Christopher Rupp. Christopher has 46 years of experience in the industry and has worked with two generations of advanced collectors.

To receive a current market appraisal for your graded stamps, please email a list of the Scott numbers you are selling with each stamp's PSE or PF certificate number. Christopher can review images of your stamps on the PSE and PF websites. Within 72-hours of receipt of your selling list, Christopher will email / telephone you with his strong fair market value appraisal for your stamps. 

There is more to assembling a great collection than simply selecting stamps with the highest grades. Rupp Brothers' clients are encouraged to become knowledgeable and confident philatelists. Christopher will conscientiously provide advice and guidance to help clients develop the skills required to build outstanding collections. Connoisseurship is necessary and the skills can be learned. With Christopher's guidance you will learn to differentiate between almost-great stamps and those that are extraordinary.
