Damn ... my topic, and someone snatches them away from me. ;-)

Good grab, Erich.

Unless Glen's post means he has more than one???

sherro · **Posted:** Mon Sep 24, 2007 13:40:08 pm

That's how I read it.

clanmackay · **Posted:** Mon Sep 24, 2007 14:01:34 pm

That's how I read it the second time through. :-)

Apologies, yes I meant a had a couple of sets if anyone here needs them.

$A250 plus shipping.

I never do ebay, so do not bother with that outley.

"Pristine, As Issued" - ex Bill Hornadge .... now THAT is a provenance!

Cheers Glen

Wouldn't do that to you in your own topic...figured he had one for you too.

clanmackay · **Posted:** Mon Sep 24, 2007 17:52:08 pm

Sorry, erich. I'm a bit slow on the uptake sometimes.

erich · **Posted:** Sun Oct 07, 2007 04:26:53 am

Got my Bhutan set today...that is just the weirdest stamp issue ever!

Wow that is slow shipping Erich ... went about ten days back!

I see it was postmarked 9/26...the mysteries of the Post Office strike again.

A set of these is in aucton right now, and they have used this thread to set Scott and ebay price!

A friend looked at lot and told me the only item of real value was the Bhutan set .. and 3 days out it is already bid to $420 - plus 16.5%! = $490 even if no more bids.

My last set at $250 is looking good.

Sold last night for $A725 plus 16.5% = $A845, and the only thing worth having was the Bhutan set.

Someone else just managed to sell a set of these for $400 on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120179224808

But $700 is really pushing it, I think...

GlenStephens · **Posted:** Tue Nov 20, 2007 02:43:59 am

erich .. same seller on both.

I am guessing the $400 was Buy it now, and he sold too quick so got greedy for last set. :roll:

GlenStephens · **Posted:** Tue Nov 20, 2007 02:44:58 am

This other guy is Buy It Now for $US595

My final set 7 - pristine, never played ex Bill Hornadge .. has just increased in price to $A275.

Stefy · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2008 18:23:14 pm

Glen do you still have a set to part with?

ozstamps · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2008 19:10:30 pm

Stefy .... have just the one set now at $A295 .. can add it to the Red Backs if you like, and hence no extra post cost for you!

A set got $A845 at Melbourne Auction here when (est $350) when all fees were added

http://tinyurl.com.au/x.php?11ys

The other things in that lot were worth MAYBE $100.

Stefy · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2008 19:18:44 pm

I guess the prices for these keep rising and rising...

I'll take them Glen. Possible to take payment next week from my card?

I've blown my budget :cry:

admin · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2008 19:35:53 pm

Next week is fine Stefy .. I'll add them to the Spiders.

Stefy · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2008 20:08:33 pm

Yes please. Thanks Glen.

ozstamps · **Posted:** Wed Sep 10, 2008 21:24:15 pm

Glen

sherro · **Posted:** Wed Sep 10, 2008 21:36:13 pm

Philately is booming in Bhutan? Suddenly all 12 collectors are stampeding to complete their collections. :mrgreen:

mozzerb · **Posted:** Sun Oct 31, 2010 11:20:43 am

Out of curiosity, has anyone made MP3s from these stamps? Safer than repeated plays.

aranyadc · **Posted:** Mon Nov 22, 2010 04:24:38 am

I have 2 of the highest values to part with. They are in pristine condition . Can part with them at A$100 for both together, if any one is interested.

moriety · **Posted:** Tue Dec 14, 2010 20:56:26 pm

I wonder if these brightly coloured (they are actually shiny gold and green) stamps from a 1966 Bhutan Issue gave them the idea for the later record stamps?

aethelwulf · **Posted:** Wed Dec 15, 2010 02:58:16 am

Lots of countries were doing those gold/silver foil discs in the 60s...I've tinkered with the idea of making a collection of them. I have so far Burundi, Tonga, and Jordan (how they sunk to this level?...), and I know of this Bhutan set, and one from Qatar. Maybe Sierra Leone did some? They were big into cut-to-shapes.

moriety · **Posted:** Wed Dec 15, 2010 03:42:06 am

Well I've got two of the Sierra Leone funnies as well: I posted about them (with pictures) in the cinderella section. If you are interested in them or the Bhutan ones let me know.

aranyadc · **Posted:** Sat Apr 16, 2011 05:57:10 am

I have six of the stamps in FDC, one smaller value I have misplaced while shifting.. :cry:

What would be the approx. price of each if I intend to sell them now? Or say a set of 6 ( i feel so sad whenever I say 6 instead of 7!)

Global Administrator · **Posted:** Tue May 17, 2011 03:11:55 am

I bought a small FDC album of 33 x Bhutan 3D FDCs circa 1970 this week which are pretty funny, as they found it hard to cancel all those weird 3D things, so needed to make a strange cancel marking.

They needed to crimp it with a blind embosser, THEN add a straight line handstamp in violet!

Never seen them before so can't be common.

Anyone who collects this stuff please drop me a line - for $65 it is all yours!

LUCKILY for me he also bought this set 7 mint. :mrgreen:

http://www.glenstephens.com/rarity.html

Onto my Rarity page this week for $400 - condition is superb. Have seen them up to $700 on ebay.

BHUTAN, PHONOGRAPH RECORD STAMP 1973, FULL SET of 7 different phonograph record stamps, Michel #557-563, Scott #152-152F .

Still a red hot set, and I see a set on ebay now for $US495 -

aranyadc · **Posted:** Tue May 17, 2011 03:43:15 am

I have a 3D FDC from Bhutan which has however normal postmarks.

Is the offer for all the 33 FDCs, and are they all different?

How amazing. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that any country would use mini records as stamps. :shock:

A more "wild dream" to me would be that one day they would be worth hundreds of pounds. :shock:
