What a lovely stamp to have inherited
I can confirm as others have suggested it is SG185. A guide retail price for average mint would be about £7500.00.
If possible please can you show a scan of the back of the stamp, as I would like to see what the gum is like.

Hi Clive
Royal Mail produce a specific album for Prestige booklets.
You can order them direct from Royal Mail for £15.99 plus postage
The order code is PA707
Sorry but I don't have a picture of it.
An alternative is to use a cigarette card albums inserting the 2x sleeve pages.

You're right, its not the postman's fault.
It was just in a thin brown envelope with a sheet 160gm paper wrapped round.
No protection to corners and no protection to edges, hence a damaged corner and damaged bottom edge on each. |
