Stamp Program

Audubon Center for Birds of Prey -Bald Eagle Stamp Program

This is a fund-raising project to help offset the cost of caring for injured and non-releasable raptors at the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. Collectable stamps are sorted, appraised and sold to collectors by volunteers; 100% of the proceeds go to help the birds.

Collectable stamps include:

• • • • Any stamp collections
      • Any foreign, commemoratives, airmail or special handling stamps
      • Any State or Federal hunting and fishing licenses stamps
      • Mint plate blocks (especially older ones)
      • Please, no current single-letter rate: this includes Christmas Stamps

We accept both canceled and uncanceled stamps. We can sell only undamaged stamps. We cannot use stamps that are cut, punched, torn, scuffed, thinned, with part of sides cut off, or with heavy smeared cancels. No metered stamps please (printed indicia).

Please cut the stamps from the envelopes, at least ¼” around the stamps to avoid damage. Do not include postmark. Exceptions: with commemorative envelopes, First Day issues and old (pre-1960) envelopes, send the entire envelope with the stamp attached, as the envelope may also have significant value.

Please include your name and/or the name of your organization printed legibly on the inside and outside the package. Donations will be acknowledged with a charitable contribution tax receipt. Donors wanting a professional appraisal, for tax purposes, are responsible for obtaining the value of their donation from a professional. Audubon stamp volunteers are not license appraiser’s; they can not put a value on any stamps donated.
