Stanley Gibbons Stamps of the World Vol 1-6, 2018 - THE most useful set in your library!
Scott in recent years split their World set from 6 to TWELVE expensive volumes, costing locally here, WAY over $A1,500. If SG do the same next year, you will save a FORTUNE buying these NOW!
Published by Stanley Gibbons Ltd. Around 7,500 pages now in Full Colour, listing EVERY stamp, and every Mini Sheet from EVERY country ever issued since 1840.
Complete set of volumes 1-6 covering countries A-Z. Since it was first published in 1934, Stanley Gibbons simplified 'Stamps Of The World' catalogue has become accepted as a standard work of reference around the world.
With its easy-to-use, simplified listings, mint and used prices for almost every one of its 500,000+ stamps, colour illustrations and helpful introductory notes, this is the perfect catalogue for the thematic or all world collector - and general dealer.
The 2018 edition continues the long tradition of expansion and improvement, which has been the key to the catalogues ongoing success. The cover has been completely re-designed for this edition. All miniature sheets are now included.
SIX massive books - each the size of Sydney phone books. SIXTEEN KILOS = 35 lbs carton! At just $A66 per book! All BRAND NEW in the SG library box for storage.
Buy these, and then advertise here your slightly older set for $200-$250 or so, meaning you only pay about $A12-$15 a massive book to be up to date!
Show this offer to your stamp club Secretary. Most have a set of these on hand, and most are a decade - or more - out of date.
These are now in colour, on Brite-White paper stock, not the yellowed old paper and mono of just a few years back. So you will not need to update for 10 years, so for $40 a year to be able to look up all the GLOBAL stamp listings, is a pretty cheap deal really. My lightly used library set.
And even in 10 years, history shows us a set of these will readily sell for $150 or so a set, even second-hand! So that takes your real annual cost down to about 30 BUCKS OZZIE A YEAR.
There are around 7,500 huge pages and way over HALF MILLION stamps all priced here. There are over 165,000 stamp illustrations.
The BEST.
All miniature sheets are now included, and over 2,250 new stamps have been added to the six Volumes.
Thousands of stamps have been extensively repriced including, British Commonwealth countries, Germany and German States and colonies, Japan, North and South Korea and post-independence Africa.

Call it - "SG 2018 SOW - Stock 692JQ" - please order via SECURE site: -

And please do that NOW. Too many think “I’ll do that later” and then quickly “forget”. I then lose the stamps in the rubble here, and waste an annoying hour finding them again.

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE - don't like it - mail it back within 48 hours of receiving it. No-one ever has yet.
And "lay-by/layaway" is always possible - email me with any queries to glen [at] glenstephens.com - OR "trade-ins" always possible! If you have a pile of surplus stuff, I may well be happy to offset that against this item - see
https://www.glenstephens.com/buying.html
As most know - I do NO fairs or shows, have NO shop, and do NOT bother with ebay or any other auctions. I buy endless bulk lots from Estates, and distress sales etc, in this massive city of 6 million with no other real stamp buyers, and offer it here at NETT prices for fast turnover. NO "20%-25% Buyer Fees" to add to my prices, as in auction!
Many similar mouth-watering NETT price offers are being loaded weekly onto -
https://www.glenstephens.com/rarity.html and https://www.glenstephens.com/specials.html
All stampboards lots $A200 and under are always mailed Unregistered and untracked, unless you specifically note otherwise on order form. 1000s of my transactions here for 8 years have been safe by normal post.
If Registered (PO cover is to $A100 only sadly) is required, clearly STATE that on order form - cost is extra $A4 local, and minimum $A15 extra foreign. Only YOU know if your street address is secure - a large packet covered in pretty stamps left outside, just might tempt passers-by? Only YOU know that, I do not. Mail contractors these days are often lazy and leave packets on top of mailboxes etc in view of public, and out in wet weather etc. PO Boxes are far safer.
"All Risk" Insurance is always possible if required as well, at $A2 per $100 covered - again it must be specified on order form. It is like Travel Insurance – decline that when booking your ticket, and THEN tell Qantas you really meant to take it 3 weeks back, and you now need to cancel your ticket for no penalty, and see how you go with THAT one!
As per stampboards convention - this lot is offered exclusively first to board members - and on no other sales venue.
For members who make a BANK TRANSFER payment you WILL generally get your goods faster, as it saves me some hassle - but you MUST email me the confirmation number etc - many "forget"!
