Have a few stamps I'd like to get certified. Previously, I have used the Greene Foundation for a few. However, they are not only pricy, but I'm leary of sending higher value stamps to Canada from USA. I've seen certs from PSE for Canadian stamps. They are less costly, are in the USA, and add their opinion on condition.

What are others doing?

If I was not using the VGG I would use the Philatelic Foundation. They certify stamps from anywhere.

@John, if you move your cursor over the highlighted "Philatelic Foundation" in the message, right click and T, it will open a new window in your browser and go to the website.

No you're not dumb!! Many people talk in letters only, or whenever possible, now! It's what has come from everyone texting, LOL!! It takes much getting used to! My wife was a librarian and, even though this was before texting, she could almost conduct a whole conversation without words!

Back to square one.....I don't want to use VGG for reasons stated in original post. Is PSE recognized as a reliable examiner of Canada stamps? IE....do their certs carry any weight?

Smauggie...thanks for the PF suggestion. I will check them out.
