Stamps and Philately
Since 2000, the Griffon has been the connection point for
stamp collectors in the Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan area. The Northern Indiana Philatelic Society
(NIPS), which was founded in 1922, uses the Griffon as its drop off point for the purchasing and appraising of
stamp collections and other related paper items such as old stock certificates, envelopes, post cards, paper money,
autographs, reference books, and official documents. Mr. Peczkowski is a professional appraiser with over 30 years
of experience and references in the book and stamp fields. Small evaluations can be done for free on site at the
book store. Call to make sure that the appraiser is available.
