First Liberty Collectibles/ Patrick Kennedy Stamp Scan is a total Rip Off San Diego California
In May of 2005 after many repeated calls and conversations with Patrick Kennedy and recommendation from a previous buyer I requested information from him about First Liberty Collectibles and the package he sent appeared to be professional and very detailed.
I was impressed after reading the information and I purchased what I was told to be "extremely rare" 1968 Thomas Jefferson one cent stamp with the head cut off from the original die cut for $1400.00. Prior to and at the time of purchase Mr Kennedy assured me that at any time I could return the stamps for resale at auction with a guaranteed profit of at least 20% after commission.
I recently decided to sell my rare stamp and placed a call to First Liberty Collectibles only to discover that they are no longer. I went on line and contacted several stamp dealers and visited a stamp shop in Seattle only to discover that I might be able to get $100.00 on a good day at auction. I will keep them as a remembrance of being buffaloed by Mr. Kennedy.
My point is that as an intelligent and educated individual I was totally taken with the slick presentation offered by the knowledgeable Mr. Kennedy and as I find on this site that I am not the only one. For anyone checking this info out be aware of the smooth talking Mr. Kennedy and his tactics.

The response from M. Kennedy listed here on March 8th, 2012 has the name and his contact phone number correct, however upon calling Mr Kennedy he assured me that he did not respond, is no longer in the business of selling stamps, no longer affiliated with First Liberty Collectibles and has no intension of honoring the buy back guarantee offered by First Liberty. I didn't expect any resolve but I would still say be careful in any dealings with Mr Kennedy selling his collectible stamps!
