Just a short note as to who we are. Philatelic Phantasies is a a family operated partnership. Family members include my wife Terry, my son Mike, and myself, Dave. Click HERE for a family photo.

We have been in the stamp business for over 19 years. We started our business in California in 1987. For three years we were on a show circuit that included an average of 16 shows per year in the California cities of Sacramento, Modesto, Fresno, Fairfield, Vallejo, and San Jose. In addition, we conducted a mail order catalog business and published special pictured flyer mail sales. In 1990 we moved to Idaho where we conducted business for 7 years. In addition to sponsoring two stamp shows per year in Boise, we have participated in shows in Idaho cities such as Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Twin Falls, and also in Billings, Montana. In November 1996, we established our internet site and began offering monthly auctions.

In late 1998 we moved to Reno, Nevada. In Reno, we have really focused on expanding our INTERNET presence. We decided to terminate publication of our mail order stamp catalog and place the catalog on our web site. We completed that in March of 1999. We then terminated our quarterly snail mail special flyer lists and added NET PRICE sections for covers and stamps on our web site. We completed that in April 1999. All of these actions have permitted us to pass on to you lower prices. We are hopeful that as our internet business expands, we will be able to continue offering low (and even lower) prices.

We are dedicated to serving our customers needs and have an excellent return policy to ensure that you are happy. In the 19 years we have been in business we have had less than .2% requests from our clients to return any material purchased from us. We are proud of that and will strive to do even better in the years to come.
