| India S.G. 301-303 304 305-308 O150a and the start of the set 309-324. Though O150a is not the most expensive of King George the VI Indian stamps the set it is part of is. And no spaces are provided for them in my Gibbons album. http://i861.photobucket.com/albums/ab177/amfhf1/india3_zps79cc0ed8.jpg |
