These tiny flaws don’t detract from the stamps’ beauty or collectibility, but allow us to offer them for up to $1,899 off Mystic’s U.S. Stamp Catalog prices when you choose the unused set. That’s more than 50% off!

America’s Very First Commemorative Stamps
The first US postage stamps to promote a commercial event, the 16-stamp Columbian Series was issued to advertise the upcoming Columbian Exposition of 1893. The exposition celebrated the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s first expedition to the New World. With their exquisitely engraved designs, the stamps tell the story of Columbus in great detail.
This special collector’s set includes:
3¢ Flagship of Columbus – US #232 pictures Columbus’s flagship, Santa Maria, the largest of the three ships in his fleet. Also, the ship Columbus sailed on during his first journey.
6¢ Columbus Welcomed at Barcelona – US #235 portrays Columbus’s return to Barcelona. He was showered with honors and was treated almost like royalty.
15¢ Columbus Announcing His Discovery – US #238 shows Columbus at the Spanish court. He is shown telling the king and queen of Spain of his journey and accomplishments in the New World.
30¢ Columbus at La Rabida – US #239 reflects Columbus’s struggle to finance his first voyage. In La Rabida, he met ship owner Martin Alonso Pinson, who agreed to partner with Columbus.
50¢ Recall of Columbus – US #240 depicts Queen Isabella’s messenger intercepting Columbus to tell him the Spanish monarchs had decided to support his first voyage.
$1 Isabella Pledging Her Jewels – US #241 represents the legendary scene suggesting Queen Isabella offered to sell Spain’s crown jewels to finance Columbus’s expedition, though this was not true.
