website update

If you haven't had a look at the website lately have a look now - you'll be pleasantly surprised! We've now listed almost 5000 individual stamps and sets, from all over the world. We stock about twenty countries' new issues in addition. I still have thousands upon thousands of stamps to list, it's a never ending job!

I'm also now gradually listing a vast new range of kiloware and packets. In kiloware almost all countries will be available, in packets there will be a full range of Commonwealth. I have found a source of foreign packets but it may be a year or so yet before they appear.

I'm also now stocking a full range of Gibbons catalogues, though these haven't made it to the website yet!

If you're interested in GB kiloware we now have a pre-booking system as these lots are so incredibly popular. Next supplies will be at the beginning of June.

St Helena new issues

Also added to our New Issue stock is St Helena, starting with this excellent 2009 sheet.

New Issue

We've now added a 'New Issues' tab to the website, and the number of countries we stock as new issues is increasing. The new countries include British Antarctic Territory. New issues are only stocked in unmounted mint condition. However we are happy to provide ANY format through our new issue service - please email for details.

New Zealand show issue

I do like this new miniature sheet from New Zealand which celebrates the Tarapex exhibition which contains 2 definitives within a stamp-like frame. I have just five available on the website.

The new mini sheet released today is the second in the country series (Scotland was issued last year). This is a very nice sheet but how much postal use is it likely to see? Like many of these mini sheet only stamps the odds are that fine used examples of both the sheet and the individual stamps will be very hard to come by. I always make a point of using these on kiloware parcels I send out, and I'm really lucky in that my village PO still uses a steel CDS handstamp for parcels - and they're happy for me to cover the stamps in plastic for protection.

At last I've nailed down a regular top quality unpicked/unsorted kiloware supplier, so on the sidebar I'll be featuring a regular stock line of GB kiloware - and as stated above I always use nice stamps to frank the parcel!
