Dialysis, damned if you do...dead if you don't

For folks who buy higher quality material, being able to search for existing certifications is critically important. While some certification services offer an online search capabilities, Professional Stamp Experts only offers the ability to look up a PSE cert by number. So I am pleased to announce the addition of the Professional Stamp Experts certification database to the Stamp Smarter website. This database allows hobbyists and dealers to quickly lookup existing PSE certifications by catalog number and/or other criteria. Being able to understand the provenance of a stamp or identify the certification history of a stamp greatly contributes to making an informed buying decision.

Hundreds of man-hours have been invested in this project and the database is very large. I would like to thank the significant contributions of Lorry Widger who compiled the original spreadsheet data. Additionally, this PSE has graciously given permission to use their images. PSE has asked that the database be limited to certification going back the last 10 years. Over time the continuous growth in the knowledgebase, technological advances, and changes to the grading criteria tend to make older certifications obsolete.

Please note that all the data is loaded but I am still uploading stamp images. Since uploading 300,000 images is going to take a number of weeks, please find below links for the USA and Canadian search tools. Everything works but you may notice some missing images, you can work-around this by simply clicking on the PSE cert which will open a new browser window and show you the cert on the PSE website.

The 'simple' search views are the first few tabs. The USA section has an 'Advanced View' which is an incredibly powerful filtering/searching tool. It has a learning curve but feel free to click around on things until I put together a short instructional video on how to get the most out the Advanced View tool.
