Nice and quick on receipt of this purchase from Glen!castores wrote:Wow, Thanks Glen (and Margo), love the 'free' stamps accompanying my 'Triumph Stamp Album' (yes 100s if not 1,000s of stamps).
Luckily I didn't have to wait long, mind the postie waited even less time - knocked on my door, I went straight away to answer, postie already left with the package sitting on the chair next to the door.. He/she wasn't bothered waiting for a signature.
With restricted availability are they listed in Gibbons? Mine isn't that recent, I don't think. Just out of interest; if people want to collect them they will.Global Administrator wrote: ↑25 Oct 2020 17:33.
Even as used SINGLES they sell for about 4 times face EACH!
Those sheets were in the 2000 year album, and as I recall never on sale at POs separately, so are truly scarce postally used.

Four months into the issue staff could sell individual stamps from the sheetlet.
Which is how I ended up with 12 copies of the boy wearing the baggy green.
The special issue for that year was the gold medallists sheetlet in the the year book.

Parcel posted by Glen the 12th of october and received in France only today. International post is soooo low in those pandemic times.
Nice stamp, fortunately well protected when you see the killer pen mark on it![]()
And now the extracted stamp, which will have a nice place in my collection

Peter - I bet not many POSTALLY used sets of those Art Of The Desert sets 4 exist globally!
Yours is probably the only one actually.![]()

At 68 pages I gather it is more than A-Z of birds, rotating through various living things? No, everything?RogerE wrote: ↑29 Dec 2020 14:13Aaah castores, I don't think you've been watching all the birds.

Not scissors Glen, Stanley Blade. There was a very colourful stamp above the mini sheet and after I gave some attention to the bird (living) I turned back to the stamps, noticed the bright stamp, finished a cut and started a horizontal cut and noticed "25"Global Administrator wrote: ↑29 Dec 2020 14:47.
Castores … I need to ask the obvious question, when stamps are in singles, placed in clear plastic pouches, why on EARTH are you using scissors anywhere near them ???!!!!
And not just one cut but two cuts, in different directions.![]()
