PLEASE READ THE RULES BELOW before ordering. You can

This is a net price sale of early Twentieth Century African-American
paper memorabilia. Lots are sold on a first-come, first-served
basis. We urge our customers to contact us to reserve lots before
sending payment. We will hold reserved lots for ten days, to allow
time for payment to arrive.
HOW TO ORDER:
FOR SHIPMENT TO U.S. ADDRESSES:
Please email 
mehrer@postal-history.com or phone the
lot numbers of the material that you want, to confirm availability.
If the answering machine is on, leave your name and phone number
AND THE LOT NUMBERS, so that we can check availability before
returning your call. (Please tell us the best time to return the
call, so that we have a good chance of reaching you.) After receiving
confirmation, send your written order by regular mail, including
your check or money order for the amount of the total. Make all
checks and money orders payable to: Jim Mehrer. Full payment must
accompany all orders. ILLINOIS RESIDENTS: Add 7.5% state
sales tax to your total.
NOTE: If you must, you may FAX the list of lots that you want
us to reserve. BUT, if you do, we ask that you INCLUDE AN EMAIL
ADDRESS to receive confirmation of availability. For us to confirm
by return FAX (or phone call) is generally very time-consuming
and expensive. We'd really rather that you call or email mehrer@postal-history.com us.
FOR SHIPMENT TO INTERNATIONAL ADDRESSES:
Please email mehrer@postal-history.com or phone the
lot numbers of the material that you want, to confirm availability
and to receive a price quote for the required amount of postage
for the shipment. We PREFER that you do this by email mehrer@postal-history.com ; but, if you
call, you'll have the best chance of reaching us between 9 AM
and 8 PM Central Time, Monday through Thursday. If the answering
machine is on, leave your name and THE LOT NUMBERS, so that we
can check availability; then CALL US BACK the next day. (We will
not return international phone calls.)
After receiving confirmation, send your written order by air mail,
including your money order for the amount of the total. All drafts
must be in U.S. dollars only, payable to: Jim Mehrer. Full payment
must accompany all orders.
NOTE: If you must, you may FAX the list of lots that you want
us to reserve. BUT, if you do, you MUST INCLUDE AN EMAIL ADDRESS
to receive confirmation of availability. We will NOT acknowledge
fax requests by return fax or phone call.
PAYMENT: Please pay by check or money order (U.S. funds
only), to:
Jim Mehrer
2405-30th Street
Rock Island, IL 61201 USA
(BE SURE to confirm availability before sending your order.
See "How to Order" above.)
We DO NOT accept CHARGE CARDS, and HERE'S WHY: We talked to the
charge card companies, but they want 5 percent off the top of
whatever we sell, and we don't feel like giving it to them. (Before
you write and tell us that we can negotiate a better deal than
5 percent, we know that. But whether it's 3 or 4 or 5 percent,
we still don't feel like raising the prices to "cover"
it, as they say.) Maybe someday we'll do it, as soon as we're
convinced that most of our customers want us to raise our prices.
Please email us if you want higher prices.

* CONDITIONS OF SALE *
1. Lots are sold on a first-come, first-served basis only.
2. All lots are offered at the net prices shown. This is NOT our
mail bid sale list. Anyone who is unwilling to pay the price shown
for a particular item should skip it and go on to the next item.
Please do NOT email or call us to make lower offers on the material
on this list. If a particular lot remains on the list too long,
then we might decide to change the price someday. Feel free to
check back anytime to see if the lot is still available at a reduced
price, or if someone else has purchased it.
3. All lots must be paid in full before we will ship. We suggest
that you reserve lots before sending payment. See the explanations
under the heading "HOW TO ORDER" at the top of this
page.
4. Because condition is such an important factor for most paper
material, a photocopy service is available. For PHOTOCOPIES, send
a self-addressed stamped envelope, plus 10 cents per each two
copies requested. Please be sure that your envelope is franked
with adequate postage. You MUST include postage and payment with
your photocopy request. We are unable to invoice you for our photocopy
service.
5. This is NOT an approval service. We feel that all lots listed
have been accurately identified, described and graded. However,
any lot which has been improperly described may be returned for
credit or a refund provided such returns are made WITHIN FIVE
DAYS of receipt of material. Material offered "AS IS"
is NOT returnable for ANY reason.
8. The placing of an order shall constitute acceptance of the
foregoing conditions.
