Celebrating Our 11th Year | Here's What We Deliver:
At times we receive inquiries about our pricing, especially for vintage advertising or historical halftone prints, and are asked why our prices are consistently higher than some other sellers of similar items. For the last decade, we asked our primary consumer base what they wanted. Our primary consumers - historical societies, historians, archivists, curators, university professors, historical decorators, and collectors, etc., have diverse and specific needs and we've built our business to accommodate those needs, like no other seller worldwide. Below is what is unique about how and what we offer as the world's leader in print ephemera:
- Product Packaging. Every product is placed against custom black acid-free board with crystal-clear, archival protective closures. We are the only sellers in the industry who provide display-quality black boards with every item (which also make exceptional presentations for gift-giving). Oversized engravings are protected by museum quality tubes.
- Product Pictures. Online digital images to evaluate the original products are imaged high resolution, 100% perpendicular, giving the customer the ability to enlarge and see fine details in every listing. This digital imaging is not provided by any other seller of ephemera worldwide. Images captured for posting online come from world-class Nikon imaging systems. Medium and high resolution images of the original item shown here are available for purchase.
- Product Provenance with a Certificate of Authenticity. Period Paper maintains image & text databases to track full provenance for virtually every item in inventory. This requires acquisitions that allow us to document provenance, in-house maintenance of databases, and dissemination of that information to buyers. We provide a certificate of authenticity, beautifully printed on linen stock, with each purchase.
- Product Acquisition. Period Paper only acquires common items in the very best condition. However, our specialty is procuring rare items, which makes up 80% of our inventory versus other sellers. Over 100,000 items available from Period Paper are not available from any other seller in the world. While it may not change the quality of a simple halftone print, it changes its rarity and raw costs. For vintage advertising, while it might be a common brand, many of our ads were uncommon placements, or trade placements versus consumer, or truly one-of-a-kind placements.
- Product Packaging for Shipping. No one packages and ships an item like Period Paper. We understand the value of the items you purchase. And, over the years, we've built packaging and a reputation for getting items safely to every customer. Regardless of the package destination, each item is packaged as if it's going to a small hut in Siberia by dog sled. It will arrive safely.
Due to our commitment to a premium service model, and with our dedication to providing our consumer base with what they now expect from us (see list above), our prices are higher than most other sellers in this market. Period Paper delivers more, consistently, and with a guarantee that every item is original to the date specified in each listing. It's why over 125,000 consumers have chosen Period Paper as their trusted source for historical and antique print ephemera and art over the last ten years. Thank you for trusting us!

International Shipping
IMPORTANT NOTICE: We apologize that international shipping rates have increased so dramatically. However, the USPS has doubled postage costs for USPS International First Class Airmail shipping for packages under 1 lb. They are providing additional services witih better tracking, but it's still a dramatic, if not ridiculous, postage increase. We are forced to raise our international shipping rates to cover costs.
Shipping to International Buyers. We ship over 500 packages every month to more than 40 countries worldwide. We value and appreciate our loyal international customers and guarantee safe arrival of your packages, anywhere in the world. We promise to ship quicly but please understand that we have no control of the customs process and while delays are not common, they do happen. As per eBay policy, we are required to inform you of the following:
- Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
- Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
- These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up, do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
- We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
- Please contact us with any questions.
Combined Items in International Shipments
Period Paper will only charge shipping on the first item purchased. There is no additional charge for multiple items shipped together from Period Paper. However, some international eBay sites do not have 'ADD TO CART' as a button at the top of each listing. In this case, many of our international customers use the eBay.com USA site and use 'add to cart' to add all items, and then checkout. OR, you can hit Buy it Now on all the items you would like and then send us a note and ask us for a combined invoice. However, using the eBay USA site is what most of our 50,000+ international customers do when buying multiple items from us.
We package every item with care. Experience the difference with Period Paper and let us serve you today.
