COLLECTIONS and

PRICED ALBUM PAGES

Priced album pages are normally available from us breaking down general or more specialised collections, and are sold as complete pages. We will usually price stamps more cheaply when sold this way, as they are easy for us to process and display. We save time by perhaps selling (say) four sets on one page at the same time, or (say) forty individual stamps on one page, rather than the extra effort of pricing each thing individually and then having to sell them one by one. Pages start at 25p.

(Now and again customers ask if we would be willing to split a page and sell one item or set off it, but while we can agree from time to time, there are times it doesn’t work for us.)

Here is just a representative selection from our vast stock. Hopefully there’s enough listed here to give you an idea of what might be available. There’s new stock almost every week.

Austria; page with forty-two earlier used odds. Mixed quality, catalogued about £27. .. £4.

Austria; nine mixed used earlier. Cat.£1.65. .. .. .. .. 50p

Mail Order - Sorry. You can’t normally buy priced album pages mail order. That’s because, other than

this tiny taster here, they just don’t appear on our price lists. If you called us and said “Please send twenty pounds’ worth of pages of France” we can do that for you. But it isn’t viable for us to look through boxes on your behalf in the search for particular items.

Come to our shop to see much more !

Stock is constantly changing – we have lots and lots of material which never appears on any of our price lists or web pages – staff are on hand to answer questions and give advice – you can just come and browse through our millions (yes, millions) of items of stock – and you save on postage !

MAIL ORDER ? Priced pages are in boxes by country or area (and some by theme) but are otherwise not sorted. Individual pages off this list are therefore NOT available mail order, as it would take too much staff time to find them. If however you ever want to order a batch of pages of our choice we can do that for you.
