I want to note that there may be very small creases on the edges of some full sheets.  This is unfortunately due to handling by postal workers, the tiny creases are already there when the sheets are purchased at the post office.  All of my Armenian stamps are purchased directly from post offices in Yerevan, Armenia.  I don't purchase Armenian stamps from secondhand sources, not even stamp dealers.
If you purchase multiple stamps, you will only pay shipping once.  I always combine shipping.
