What a lovely topical lot, with us celebrating the QE2 Longest Reign ever of a British Monarch right now.
This was the special and expensive set Qantas organised in conjunction with TEAL and BOAC, of 24 matched design covers. Each has the classy colour cachet on left ... the crown being embossed/raised in Gold.
WONDERFUL range of frankings and cancels and backstamps etc as you can see! Some stamps are on the REVERSE, which is neat and several countries - Fiji, Solomon's and Mauritius wonderful have both KGVI Defins and QE2 frankings - mixed reign.
The original Qantas headed letter is still with them, outlining that the complete set of them is 24 covers - and listing it all out in detail of each cover. The letter is RARE, and was usually tossed away by original buyer. I've never seen one before. All items are neatly ticked off.
Nice condition for 62 years old, and a full set is a rare beast - near all have been broken up in that period and sold separately per country. I see HEAPS of part sets.
Eustis 1317/1318A Cat "from $480" and Eustis/AAMC confirms 24 is the full set. Well under $A10 each. Many of the obscure Intermediates are near impossible to source, even singly.
This is only $US160 as I type this - way less than $7 apiece!
$A225 plus post
Call it - "Qantas : Stock 783LQ" - please order via new HTTPS encrypted SECURE site - https://tinyurl.com/GlenOrder
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.
All payment details etc are on: https://www.tinyurl.com/GlenPay - NICE franking is used when I mail : see member pix of that here - https://tinyurl.com/GlenCTO - and COMBINED POSTAGE is fine – save money buying more than 1 lot at once!
For overseas members, to find out the approx cost in YOUR currency, click here - https://www.xe.com - the $A has CRASHED lately, and for USA and UK buyers etc, these prices are REALLY cheap in your money!
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://tinyurl.com/GlenBuy
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" and “3% credit card fees” to add to my NETT prices, as in auction!
Many similar mouth-watering NETT price offers are being loaded weekly onto - https://tinyurl.com/GlenRare and https://tinyurl.com/GlenSpec
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 9 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 or Apartment 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/or 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 stampboard 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"!
