ABOUT US
Americana Stamps is a family run business located in Southern California. Our President, Angelo Ismirnioglou, has been dealing and collecting privately for 40+ years and now wants to bring a new auction experience that focuses on the collector’s perspective. He is the auction manager of the Carriers and Locals Society, and member of the Western Cover Society, U.S. Philatelic Classic Society and the American Philatelic Society.
​
Americana Stamps conducts auctions every three months featuring U.S. Stamps and Postal History. We offer the best and most complete high-resolution images in the industry that visually showcases the details of the whole lot, including close-ups of stamps, covers and all items included in the lot. (A picture is worth a thousand words). We provide references, provenance, census and web resources when available that would empower the collector with more knowledge, making the auction experience also educational.
​
For many lots, the images will be best resolution ever for that stamp issue or cover, allowing for detailed research and review not previously available.
