Postage Stamp Chat Board and Stamp Bulletin Board Forum

Bought these this week.

Fresh MUH with a descriptor card in with them from SG London for £60 retail .. date unknown.

Can't see them in my SG Simplified Taiwan.

Can anyone offer a current cat number and valuation? And more importantly any idea of current real retail?

The only place I found these was on an auction site with an est.value $100 and price realised-unavailable. they had no catalogue number just this...1962 Savings set, VF and a picture of your stamps.

Sorry I couldn't find more but, maybe somebody else will have more luck.

Still available at $US177 at -

Here is a quote from Michael Rogers' buylist; he's the
primary "Asia" dealer-auctioneer in the U.S.

Michael Rogers is paying US $75 for the set of 3, and they
apparently have no Scott number.

Great info Doug .... well that is MOST interesting.

If Rogers buys at $US75, and they fetch $US177 from a German on ebay, I might take middle ground and add them to my stock at about $US125 or so.

If there is no Scott cat number what are these stamps?

Revenues of some kind? A Savings card type thing?

Yes, they go into a Savings card, and 99.9% of them
probably did, leaving few if any MUH copies. You must
admit, it's a clumsy way to save (we did it for 50+ years).

All our "savings" stamps are numbered in the U.S. Scott
Specialized, and if there's a super-detailed Taiwan catalog,
they're probably listed.

And if they don't sell, you can always flog 'em to Rogers

Geez, I'd like to be able to buy at some of those prices in his price list!!

A spot check of a few items I own looks like he pays about 1/3 of what those items have sold for on Ebay........
