Stockmarkets globally have lost $ MEGA TRILLIONS this past several weeks. No idea how many zeroes that is! In just one day, the Dow fell 10% - the largest drop in 13 years. MANY other global markets did worse.

Bank Interest rates are at or near ZERO globally, Real Estate is flaky, so many folks have now bailed out of stocks and bonds etc, and grabbed a few STAMPS they need. :lol:

The $A just recently CRASHED to its lowest point in 18 years against the Greenback. For many foreign buyers my stamps are the cheapest now for a DECADE or more to you. Check them out below! For American buyers the prices are AMAZING! PayPal me in $US if you wish, for any lots.

For ozzie buyers, sourcing ANYTHING for overseas is TERRIFYING now, and ebay and Amazon now add 10% GST onto EVERY purchase, AND on top of shipping too! Buying off me sees you pay in WEAK OZZIE PESOS. WHAT you see is WHAT you pay. :)

Most ozzies reading this got handed $750 CASH by the Government in recent weeks, and the same in another few weeks. Most Americans are getting a ~$A2000 Fed cash handout right now. Many other countries are doing similar. Remember you can LayBy/Layaway ANYTHING on my site, to lock in the current prices. Pay a deposit, and you are locked in.

Read of the global effect of the COVID-19 Virus has DIRECTLY had on stamps. Mail service cancellations exist now between many countries. SEE the many new stamps are being issued about it. Massive stamp Exhibitions and shows are now all totally cancelled. :roll:

Governments everywhere are in mad knee-jerk panic mode. Australia just copied NZ and USA, and essentially closed our borders. Most states did so internally. Stay at home, stay safe, and sort STAMPS! What a mess. My sympathy to all those impacted in any way. :shock:

Read how younger professional MILLENNIALS are taking up start collecting - they think it is Retro Cool - like Lava Lamps! New major KGV stamp discovery in Australia. See leather cricket balls covered with 1d red GB 1860s stamps. Have a laugh at a foolish American paying $50,000 at Auction for a faultily PSE "numbah graydead" rather common stamp, that I'd sell cheerfully for a few $100 here if I owned it. Kooky Kultists.

I charge NO cheeky "Buyer Fee" of 20%-26%, nor the usual 3% "credit card fee" most auctions now also charge on top. What you see below is WHAT you pay. :D :D

Buy at NETT prices off me - NO cheeky 20%-25% buyer fees like at auction, and all credit cards accepted by me at ZERO extra fee - even Amex. Many Auctions then add 3% or more to use cards. Outrageous. A $1,000 stamp off me using a credit card, costs you $1,000 - NOT $1,300!! :roll: :roll: :twisted:

If I mail from here, the way I do things, the Canada/Europe/NZ etc 20% type VAT/GST type inward fees are nearly always avoided. A huge saving for buyers in those countries. You can thus save $100s on just one stamp alone, AND get it cheap via our suddenly crashed $A dollar. Also, you can pay me direct in $US/Euro/STG/$NZ to save currency screws into $A :mrgreen:

France - the massive PEXIP 1937 International Stamp Exhibition Sheet - Superb Centred, mega Fresh MVLH! These are a TON scarcer than the catalogues would suggest. Superb mint light hinged only on edge, leaving wonderfully centred unhinged stamps, as can be seen. Unusually fresh ex Europe, and bright and super attractive, as you can see, and NO faults or thins or foxing on reverse either, as generally found with these huge sheets from 83 years back now, that damage very easily. And NO creases - these are huge Hagner sheet size, and near ALL have bends or corner creases. The 4 stamps on each are beautifully centred as you can see - most are not of course! MANY are trimmed down to remove outer edge tears or creases or hinge marks etc. This is ORIGINAL size. All stamps fresh MUH original gum - hinged only on the very outer edges. SG Cat £600=$A1,250. Almost NEVER seen for sale in this country. Top shelf grade - QUARTER Gibbons - indeed only about $US185 at $A300 (Stock 783JQ)

GB 5d Queen Victoria 1887 “Jubilee” the rare Die 1 - Cat £800 for just $A250! A truly rare stamp, and wildly under-rated by SG - I see one each decade or so. Bright unused with original colour, and SG Cat 207 £800=$A1,650 mint. The Die 1 had small blue squares at sides, and the very common Die 2 has very thin vertical dotted lines. Without a good magnifier these are very hard to see, and of course near everything offered on ebay etc is misidentified by the dreamers or scammers. Around $US155. $A250 (Stock 395AJ)

Territory Of New Guinea, 1935 Bulolo Airmail, Ł2 Violet Panelli *FORGERY* Die Proof: One of the most iconic Airmail stamp designs from the entire World in the 1930s. Very high value - the largest denomination Australia ever had was also a Ł2, and even those Mint are scarce and expensive - the CHEAPEST watermark being $5,000 mint. The SUPER RARE Die Proof done by Panelli/Ongelia, of his also scarce Ł2 ENGRAVED PLATE Forgery. Many times scarcer than the forgeries. Have never had one in 40 years. Gary Watson from Prestige/abacus had never seen one either, before he got DOUBLE estimate - $875 for in Auction after fees added - https://tinyurl.com/Panellis This might well be the same piece. Angelo Panelli was an Italian stamp forger, operating from Sanremo in the 1920s and 1930s. Panelli was closely associated with other Italian forgers of the period, particularly Erasmo Oneglia and Jean Sperati. Fresh, with deep rich vibrant original colour. Clean and flat and most attractive. Free of all gook and gunk and aging etc, after 85 years. Deep paper “bite” from the engraved steel die under pressure, with engraved cross-hair registration marks each side. Essential for any serious New Guinea Exhibit. Buy for $175 UNDER Public Auction price! $A700 (Stock 372KP)

*40* x Australia 1984 SPECIMEN Paintings sets MUH - Face $680 for $A325! FORTY of the special deluxe Post Office packs from 1984, each containing $17 face value of fresh MUH paintings each - all in lavish Gold Embossed packs. The owner notes showed he had bought these as an ‘Investment’ in 1990 for around $1,000 the bundle of 40, off Max Stern. He had high hopes these would also get to the same $600 a set price of the 1963 “Specimen” sets of 4 of 30 years earlier! Condition looks nice and clean. I see quite a few of these stamps arriving used on parcels - not ‘supposed’ to occur, but it seems few notice these days at AP. I saw a mint single pack get $30 on ebay recently! Possibly a 'Paintings On Stamps' collector looking for something a little different? Bought well in Estate, so OUT they go at just $A8 each! $US200 or - $A325 (Stock 842KA)

1917 £1 Chestnut and Bright Blue Kangaroo stamp neatly used - $US660: In my 40 years as a dealer I’d say this is the ONE stamp missing from 99.999% of simplified Australian collections I see. It only came in 2 watermarks, and both are WAY into 4 figures, even average used. The next hardest to get face different stamp - the £2 Black and Red Kangaroo, costs under one quarter of this in used. With the £2 Roo, collectors can also “cheat”, and buy a mint CofA “Specimen” for $100 if they wish - but the lowest price £1 Bi-Colour “Specimen” is $900. Worse still, MOST of these used £1 Bi-Colours look really terrible, with horrid “fluffy” perfs being normal, and often very washed out colours, and poor centering, and back faults, and creases/tears or worse etc, from the very heavy parcel use. This is FAR better looking than most. The Third Watermark Kangaroos were issued and printed during WWI, when getting reliable ink supplies from the traditional ink suppliers - GERMANY was of course a BIG issue, for some odd reason! So the printers used whatever was on hand that remotely looked like “Blue” or “Brown” ink etc, hence the vast range of shades recorded in this value.

MOST of them were in pale shades of each, and look pretty washed out - even when mint. This looks very nice, with dated REGISTERED SYDNEY cds. Most of them also have VERY “fluffy” or “woolly” perfs, as perforating heads were not replaced on schedule - again, as those replacement parts also came from GERMANY! This one is better than most in that regard. Arthur Gray told me THIS bi-colour stamp value was his absolute favourite of the entire Kangaroo series, and I’d have to agree. He insisted this stamp be the solo front cover item on the $7¼ million Auction sale catalogue as readers will know. I have owned literally 100s of these over 40 years, and near all are rough grade. MOST are truly woeful lookers. I saw one with total missing corner get 4 figures on ebay recently! Mad Bunnies. Clean and flat and fresh with bright colours, totally free of the usual gook and gunk and hinge remains of over a century etc, that can hide faults. SG 44a, £1,800 = $A3,650. I have ALL used Roos in stock, in 5 Grades, Superb to Spacefiller - ask if you need a less costly grade - this is about a 7 out of 10 grade. $2,350 LESS than SG cat! $A1,100 (Stock 294JV)

Australia 1932 5/- Sydney Harbour Bridge stamp, fault free *COMMERCIAL* used : 100 times more elusive than the corner CTO copies, which were given away in the Specimen packs for 15 years - literally. Gibbons current “Part 1” Catalogue now has a note outlining this very important distinction - “postally used are worth much more”. The ACSC of course, prices postal used at much more than CTO - ACSC $500 - 80% higher than CTO. And these are FAR scarcer than mint of course. These were printed essentially on very coarse, acidic, blotting paper, and they thin, and crease, and scuff and fox/rust readily, from the heavy and rough parcel use. And the thick huge oval rubber Melbourne Parcel Office cancels mostly found on these look HORRIFIC! Clean and flat and fresh, totally free of hinges, and creases and thins and gook and faults, with dated ”MELBOURNE - 4 MY 32 - VIC” cds. About as nice as you’ll find offered anywhere for clearly POSTAL used, with excellent perfs and centering as you can see. Under $US235 as I type - $A375 (Stock 625JK)

Samoa Olympic Games Miniature Sheet *IMPERFORATE AT SIDE* - Just $US120! 1988 Seoul Olympic Games stamps, with the spectacular error on right hand side - totally imperforate on right. Believed to be the ONLY example recorded - I have made extensive enquiries, and no others seem to be recorded. Purchased off Max Stern in the 1980s my client’s note says, for $400, and it was apparently found in Max’s New Issue stock. So that is over $1,200 in today’s adjusted money, near 30 years on. TOTALLY imperf - not even an ‘albino’ type impression of the perf pins, as often occurs on these kind of errors.

Superb piece for any collector of the popular “Olympics On Stamps” topical, which is a major theme globally. Or for collectors of Samoa, which lots of Australians keep, as Australia Post sold their New Issues for decades, nationally, at face value. Very few issues in the modern era have Imperf at side errors, due to security printer controls. There are several from Australia in this era which sell for FIVE times this sum. The 24c ‘Tasmania Tiger’ Thylacine, ACSC 902b from Australia in this era, imperf 1 side, sells for $1,000s a single etc. $US120 or $A200 (Stock 582LX)

PNG MUH stamp collection, from SG#1 in Hagner Binder. Retail $1,200+ - $A400 or $US240: PNG 1952 to 1980s MUH on 42 Hagners, in Royal Blue Hagner binder. Retail is over $1,200 as can be seen. All complete sets, 2 of a few better sets, and the later issues are in MUH corner imprint blocks. Retail neatly marked on each page for buyer easy checking - comes to over $1,100. Condition looked above average, and were all MUH on the many I checked. Bound to be the odd minor blemish as always on large collections, but a superb collection to build on - I'd guess it is 100% complete, plus a few extras even of some better sets. Offered untouched as always. HEAPS more pix here - https://tinyurl.com/PNG20 The EMPTY Hagners retail $1.75 each. And the binders are $30 apiece. So we have here - over $100 worth of Hagners and binders. So we have over $1200 retail here, and in better than usual grade. Bought well from an Estate so out it goes dirt cheap for just $A400 - Save $800! For an American buyer just $US250, or 200 quid for any Brits! $US240 - $A400 (Stock 194BR)

Neat upright dated oval cancel of ‘’REGISTERED BRANCH - 17 AP: 03 - THROGMORTON STREET LONDON” in the Financial District. SG 266, cat Ł1,235 = $2,500 for well centred light cancel used, which this very clearly is. Excellent perfs and centering for these massive stamps - 4 or 5 times the size of the lower values. Clean and fresh and flat, totally free of the usual hinges and gook and gunk and aging and creases on these high values, that hide thins and tears etc. This was a fortune back in the day, over a week’s wages, and were used on heavy parcels and got banged about, and got damaged, and received ugly boxed grid Parcels Branch ‘’Killer’’ cancels. OR heaps of these have undated rubber cancels of JERSEY and GUERNSEY that of course are 100% non-postal. The Ł1 Kangaroo from this era is $3,500 for FU, so these are WILDLY under-rated, and grossly under-priced right now. From a superb album of GB I am breaking down. From 1840 1d Blacks (in every Plate!) 2 sets “1d Plates’’ to 225 etc. Strong M+U line engraved, often in superb shape. QV and KEVII to Ł1, and KGV to both Ł1. Let me know what WANTS you have - all going out CHEAP! 20% of SG - indeed $2,000 under SG price at just $US280 as I type - $A500 (Stock 694KQ)

British Solomon Islands 1907 Large War Canoe 2½d Orange Yellow, very fresh pair, IMPERF AT RIGHT Just $US1,050: One the classic British Pacific stamp issues, with a true global following. The debut issue, crudely local designed, and primitively produced, these are far better than usual - clean and fresh, bright deep colour, with white MLH original gum. Been in Europe near all their life – luckily, as out here they fox badly. SG 4b is cat £12,000 - the imperf between pair of this value. One sheet of those were recorded, and one sheet with imperf at side. Only a few pairs exist globally. SG do not list imperfs one side from anywhere, but in this case, they are equally as scarce as SG 4b. $US1,050 - $A1,750 (Stock 598AC)

GB 2013 Christmas 1st Class stamp, with quite spectacular Colour Mis-Registration - $A195!: The most striking error of this type I have seen in any very modern issue. Especially from the GB, De La Rue printings, who these days have VERY sophisticated computer eye quality controls to detect exactly this type of freak. From the one sheet of 50 from De La Rue printers, that was discovered showing this error on some units. Often a spike of electrical outage causes press to “hiccup” for a millisecond, and registration on the roll of paper is slightly skewed - looks like THREE colours are mis-registered here! Very attractive price as you can see superb MUH - “Christmas On Stamps” is a huge topical, and of course GB is mega popular a MUH PAIR for $A375 (Stock 683KR) or a SINGLE as shown - $US117 or $A195 (Stock 683KT)

1943 Thailand/Siam Occupation of Malaysia *PROOF* Block 4 + others: Thailand declared war on the Allies, and the Japanese then ceded them control over 4 Malaysian States in 1943. The stamps were lithographed at the Royal Thai Army Survey Department Printing Offices in Bangkok. The very crude paper for the issue was unwatermarked, and was literally made from bamboo, at the Thai Government Paper Mill at Kachanaburi on the River Kwai. Design is the Voluntary Soldier Monument in Bangkok, with rice plants and seed ears on the left and on the right, above which are the words "ไทย - THAILAND". Un-denominated proof sheetlet of 4 in carmine, imperforate - presumably for the 8c Red value. Clean and fresh and totally free of the toning and foxing associated with this near 80 year old material. Ex Len Colgan's superb Thailand Collection. Also have the same issue 2c Buff of same issue, well centred MUH lower margin Block 4, IMPERF between i.e. Scott 2N2a, $US2,200 (=$A3,300) for $A400 and also a single with strong gum offset for $A100.

Australia $10 Kangaroo complete set 5, Perf “OS” and O/P “Specimen” - $US58!: How many Kangaroo or Australia collections globally have all 5 of these? Almost ZERO! As part of the Centenary of the Kangaroo and Map stamps in 2013, Australia Post sold a small number of sets of these 5 items shown above in a small sheetlet. They seem to have only sold them at the huge FIP International 2013 World Stamp Expo in Melbourne that I attended, and sold out fast. Oddly these got little or no publicity, as all the Black Caviar horse racing product they issued at same show took precedence, and few seemed to have bought the Roos at the time. I certainly did at the show, as I recognised their great future potential! I have waited 6 years to offer them. I do not think any other dealer on this planet has this complete set of 5 offered for sale - check it out! VERY scarce, 100% Official, yet at less than double face. Only well centred copies selected for sale.

The $10 Kangaroo was offered overprinted “Specimen” in the exact same font as was used in 1913. It was also overprinted in a solid “OS” font, as was used on the 1930 Kangaroo issues. And Australia Post ALSO offered them in the Large and Small sized “OS” perfins, in sizes exactly as issued in 1913 on the original Kangaroo stamps. ASC Cat, 3099msb, $160, and SG 3983a, cat £130=$A260. PRICES - One set 5 x $10, MUH and/or CTO, your choice, (MUH sent unless specified) $A95 (Stock 729JA) Re-seller or investor special - FIVE sets of 5 x $10, MUH and/or CTO, your choice (MUH sent unless specified) $A425 (Stock 729JC). Or, one set 5 MUH, and one set of 5 CTO (10) for $A180 (Stock 729JF) These are OFFICIAL Post Office issues, and are in the 2 main catalogues, and I have very small stock left now. Set of 5 MUH or CTO - well under $US60 now: $A95 (Stock 729JA)

Generally the perfs are terrible on these 1913 issues, as the paper choice was poor for stamps, with long very tough fibres, that ripped out perfs readily when separated, and it was never used again. With the original vivid deep pink attractive colour, that this scan just does NOT convey. First Watermark mint high value Roos are red-hot lately - a £2 MUH, with the same number printed as this one, has sold for over $25,000! SG 14. There were in fact LESS issued of this value, than the 1913 £1 and £2 First Watermark Roos. ACSC 47a, $A2,000 for usual average centred. SG #14, £900 = $A1,800. Juzwin $1,275 for average mint. With far better perfs and colours than usual. Top MLH copies are $1,600++ these days. Bought cheap in an Estate, to clear cheap, this month! $US540 or $A900 (Stock 725CD)

Australia 1963 Navigators set 6 superb mint. $A150: If there is just ONE stamp absent from any QE2 collection of Australia it is the £2 Admiral King stamp. Every time. THE priciest Australian stamp post-war. Super high value issued late 1964, and replaced a year or later by the new Decimal $4 of same design, so a VERY short life. £2 Admiral King stamp and the ship “Mermaid” is the KEY post war stamp from Australia and sells for far more USED than mint out of interest!

£2 was 480 pence. The set 6 cost 1038 pence at the PO. A standard letter cost 5 pence then, until decimal currency in 1966, when it became 4c. So this cost 207.6 first class stamps. Taking today’s $1.50 first class letter rate as our guide, this was $A311 in today’s money, so you needed a BIG wage to warrant that cost - way over a half century back. You are paying WAY under HALF the PO cost price essentially! Nice centering for these, especially key values, clean and flat, with fresh gum MVLH or MUH. Retail $275, and out they go at near HALF retail $150 - which is about $US90 as I type this. $A150 (Stock 614XD)

207 x usable and mailable globally postcards 1987 to 2004, cat value $547 - just $A250 or $US150! A BOXFUL. Condition looks clean and fresh. Each with a genuine stamp on one side, superbly cancelled on First Day Issue. Still in sealed cellos ex PO new issue supply. Nice clean lot - Anything past 2000 is "The IMPOSSIBLE ERA" and retail would certainly be $650+ IF any dealer had stock. Cost price ex PO WAY over $200. ALL are valid for the $3.30 GLOBAL postcard rate now and forever. 207 cards. If foreign rate goes up to $4, these are good for $4 or $828+ etc. There is $683.10 of POSTAGE VALUE here right NOW! One dealer I know uses 100s of these a year on his ebay sales. He quotes a flat $4 for overseas post and buys these from me and others for ~$1 each.

He hand addresses each card on the box on the front, tapes them onto his standard C6 envelopes, and drops them into red street main boxes. Has never had an issue. They go airmail, and he adds a note inside that on BACK of card the buyer will find a VFU stamp. They leave glowing feedback about this, he tells me. And he makes 400% profit on EACH mailing! Bought cheap in Estate to sell cheap this week. A brilliant collection on their own as official Postal Stationary, first and foremost at not much over a BUCK APIECE.

Australia Pictorial cancels Cat $600 on Unadd PO “WATTLE” covers!! Australia Post official Pictorial cancels, full run of every cancel for this 1974 era: "PictorMarks" cat value $600 for average grade, and these are absolute TOP SHELF grade UNADDRESSED. These special cancels on ANY kind of cover from 1974 are SCARCE and highly sought. The big interest on special cancels occurred latter 1970s, and numbers were then getting large.

The collectors interested mostly had ADDRESSED covers as that was the norm in this era. The only addressed one here HAS to be of course, as it went by RAAF airmail across the country - from QLD right over to WA, and way back sender in Nowra NSW, and is STILL in superb shape like all the others, despite any 100s of miles of mail travel. All superb clean flat unaddressed, and BEST of all are totally on the matched special PO *WATTLE* covers. The PO only first printed those in late 1972, and almost no-one bothered in the earlier years. NOW those are the ones everyone wants course!

"PictorMarks" cat $600 on very cheapest covers. Lightly pencilled of back of each one in 4B pencil that can easily be erased if needed. At about only $35 each. As few as 1700 cancels ever done, over all days of these events, so these are ALL First Day for Multi Day Conferences etc. UNDER $A12 a cover - a very average glass of wine costs me that at the Hyatt bar on Saturday!

Australia 2008 Christmas 50¢ Baubles self-adhesive *IMPERFS!* - $US75 each: A complete peel and stick $10 booklet of 20, top row of four completely IMPERFORATE and the second row of four is Imperforate at top. First time I've seen this one. Very easy to see in the flesh, but on scan of course hard to see. Caused when the guillotining “knife” came down onto the master sheet a micron out of adjustment and did not cut perforation wiggles into the backing sheet totally. Superb condition, totally flat - not ever folded. Perfect size to display on Hagner or stockbook or album page. So we have 4 x 100% Imperforate stamps, and 4 stamps are imperf along top. I was tempted to cut up the pane and offer 4 x total imperfs at $175 each, (=$A700) and then offer the 4 x part imperfs in vertical pairs along with a normal perfs for $100 each, (=$A400) but a shame to mess with what might well be a UNIQUE Booklet. A gem addition for any Australia/Booklet/Xmas/Error collection. So I’ll let this go at HALF that level at just $A500 = just $A125 ($US75) each for the 4 – imperfs - the others are all ''free''! $A500 (Stock 857JQ)

SYDNEY 2000 Olympics, Australia Post “Prime Minister’s Dinner”, Deluxe Stamp Album $US210 or $A350: What a truly cool item. The Australian Prime Minister hosted an official Olympics dinner, and as Australia Post were a Major Sponsor of the 2000 Olympics, they offered to present all participants with a super Deluxe, brass cornered Album for the attendees. The exact same presentation as the 4 x superb late 1990s Australia Post “Engraved Stamps” books, (all of which I have in stock at similar price!) with Brass corners, and heavily Gold embossed front covers, with Coat Of Arms of the Commonwealth of Australia, with the Olympic Wreath all around it (!), and hard matching slipcases etc. And a ton of Australia Post Olympic stamp issues inside as you can see in link below.

Near all the attendees there were IOC Big Shots, and Senior Politicians and dignitaries, and former ozzie Olympians and so on, who kept them as classy Dinner souvenirs, so very few of these Albums ever leaked into the secondary market. When did YOU ever see one??? AP never SOLD any of these to the public. These are hence HEAVILY sought, not only by Olympic Collectors globally - but by all keen collectors of Australia Post official issues. They are almost never seen in the marketplace. Prestige Auctions invoiced one for $365 way back in Auction #88, and the only other one I’ve seen was priced at $400. The large book has 44 pages, plus many printed, heavy duty, frosted type interleaves – all GOLD blocked page edges even, and in a hand numbered Limited Edition.

Free of hinges and gook and gunk, and a rare stamp either mint or used. Far superior perfs and centering to other values on this monocolour series. These “with stroke” high values were printed early 1909, all in this Dull Green colour, as the 1902 green 1d, 2d, 5d and 10d were easily confused with the original 1/-, 2/-, 5/- and 10/-. They all looked near identical at a quick glance, being numeral figures only. i.e. a 10d and 10/- looked nearly the same, until this issue, both being just a large “10”. This 10/- was issued March 1909, and was replaced, (and unsolds destroyed) near immediately by the 1909 Bi-Colour set, which was in a single printing in August 1909. Pencil expertised by A. Diena.

Victoria 1850 3d Queen Victoria "Half Length" - complete sheet of 50 of the Jeffryes forgery: Seldom seen these days. A full sheet 50 in unusually fresh condition - SUPERB. The well-known and convincing forgery by George Kirke Jeffryes, who as part of the "London Gang" received four months hard labour in 1892, for his stamp forgery efforts! Wish they would do that today on the global crop of Ebay fakers that ebay does nothing about. Well printed - 5 different engravings were made and repeated through the sheet, so stamp 1 and stamp 6 in each row match up etc. I have sometimes seen these offered in singles or pairs on eBay etc for $50 a single! A perfect size to fit on a Hagner sheet or stockbook page, or album sheet. This complete sheet of 50 is $US165 or $A275 ... or just over Five Bucks a stamp - a COFFEE costs that! (Stock 385AQ)

N.Z. 1940 1/3d *ARMS* part sheet of 24 **MUH**, SG cat $1,200 for just $A275! Perfect centred part sheet - this was a fortune back in WW2 - 30/- face - or near a week’s NETT wages for a working man. The AVERAGE annual UK wage in UK 1950, was just £100 - I kid you not https://tinyurl.com/UKwage - around TWO quid a week gross before tax. The cost of this block. FACT. (And paid annual leave was typically just ONE week!) That is the average national wage, not the minimum wage. Ozzie and NZ wages were near identical back then. This BBC link outlining the Food Rationing in the UK well after WW2, might surprise some - https://tinyurl.com/RationUK National rationing did not totally end until 1954. Meat, bacon, sugar, and butter were all tightly rationed across the UK, right up to the QE2 Coronation year in 1953. Genuine MUH original gum, with the usual ‘’honeyed’’ Gum Arabic used in this WW2 era set. Now 80 years old. SG F191, cat £600 = $A1,250. Bought cheap, so selling cheap - all MUH!

Australia Post Stamp Year Books 1983-2004 (22) at *$1,200 UNDER RETAIL*!: WEEKEND SCOOP - 22 Years of PO Year Books near HALF PO cost! Amazing buy I made from an Estate today. 1983 to 2004 - 22 different PO books, the books and stamps all look clean (for a change!) as they were stored in Broken Hill which is thankfully very dry, with no humidity. Owner wisely had removed the flimsy plastic outer PO shipping covers – stamps ‘sweat’ in there if you do not, and get rusty/foxed. Many folks fall for that mistake. Actual PO Cost was $1,227 and Retail is $1,925 as you can see here - https://tinyurl.com/POalbums

Photos above are just a few books - we all know what these books look like. You get the years mentioned. 1983-2004 complete - 22 different albums. For ebayers - a superb proposition - from 2000 on are RED HOT ... the 2000 for instance cost $87.50 from PO and sells on its own for $100+, all day long, as it has the special Olympic Games Gold Medal Winners sheetlet of 16, that ONLY came in this superb album. Actual PO cost was $1,227 and near HALF that at $A725. The FACE VALUE is just on $900! So you are paying near $200 UNDER FACE for superb MUH stamps in full sets in Deluxe Books in slipcases. All packed up neatly in 1 large carton to keep your mail costs down. Ozzie buyers ONLY, due to 22KG weight. Quick turnover is always my game, and this is the BEST bargain I have typed up this week! $A725 (Stock 793GW)

AUSTRALIA - 1922 1d Violet “Star Die” embossed PSE, Rare Printed To Private Order: British Australian Wool, unused - ACSC # ES41. Printed to Private Order for the British Australian Wool Realisation Association Ltd. Envelope is very fresh unused, especially for being a Century old, and the flap is NOT stuck down. This example is indeed far nicer looking than the one depicted in the ACSC! Only a very few companies availed themselves of the PTPO facility for this scarce 1d Violet Star Die. Of course the public could never BUY these at any time, hence their great scarcity – and very high prices today Mint. These were of course pre-paid SASE, sent to clients to get a fast response, and in Mint, clearly few have survived, and hence Mint price is 4 times used price. ACSC ES41, Cat $400 Mint.

Hoard of ST. HELENA PHONE CARDS circa 1990 - $A145: Local stamp legend, and very good client, the late Dr William Mayo swapped these with me 20 years back, for some Lord Howe Island material he wanted. Mayo formed a superb STAMP COLLECTION of St. Helena, from earliest known 19th Century covers etc, and with Richard Peck punished a monograph on the collection. Bill even bought a home there in St. Helena (pretty hard as there are so few!) and visited there a few times - his earliest visit was 1950s as I recall - had photos in the book. Anyway he assembled this cool lot. The heavy thick UK style cards, and FACE alone is about $A550!

Telephone cards from St. Helena x 54 face value £274=$A575 - 9 different designs, all issued about 1990 I'd guess, as Bill visited there at that time as I recall. These are SCARCE - a dealer who specialised in there has strong prices - the scarce £2 Gardens one Bill had 21 copies of - retail of each is £12 - or SIX times face as you can see - and lots of scarce £5 value as well. These sell well - https://tinyurl.com/HelenaPC Anyway, an ebay re-seller super bargain deal at under a QUARTER face and probably this is 10% of retail!

Papua New Guinea 1994 "Emergency Overprints" stamp sets 11 or 20 - $US2403: I have always had the largest stock of these overprints in the world. Buy DIRECT from the original "source"! Thousands of collectors NEED this set to complete their collections, as all album pages on the planet make spaces for them. Only 45,000 sets were ever printed, NONE were ever sold by the agents, the Papua New Guinea Bureau, or even Australia Post. Nearly all were used up on genuine commercial mail. Not discovered by the stamp world until months after all the key values were all used up on mail! I first reported their existence to the stamp world. "Set of 11" - SG # 730/740. Michel # 714 -724. Scott # 860/871. ASC Cat $A420 (approx $US250), for the basic set 11 alone.

Definitive sets like the 1967 Anguilla overprints set 16 are already cat at £25,000 mint in Stanley Gibbons - and Anguilla has NOTHING like even 1% of the global collector following of PNG - think about it! This PNG set has a LONG way to go yet - that seems very clear. For very detailed and comprehensive background on this issue, with all numbers printed etc - see my special page on these issues: https://tinyurl.com/1994PNG SPECIAL - set of 11 (ASC Cat $420!) for just $US150 or $A250 (Stock 942GA) Set 20 as illustrated for $A300 (Stock 942GB)

Finally - all the 1994 "Emergency" sets I sell are of course guaranteed 100% genuine. You may ask for my Photo Certificate Of Genuineness on my security watermarked colour letterhead for this set of 11 or 20, mint or used, dated and signed, illustrating in full colour the exact set I mail you. If required, this CERTIFICATE costs you an extra $A70 (Stock 928ZV) on top of price of the stamps, largely to cover the considerable time and messing around of individually preparing each one, typing, and scanning etc.

This is substantially cheaper than sending it to the R.P.S. in London etc, which takes half a year to get back, and also incurs substantial Registered airmail cost to you - in both directions. And quite frankly, the RPSL would not have a clue about these issues. 'Too Modern, Old Chap' they would sniff! Years down the track when the set sells for a multiple of what it does now, such a certificate Guaranteeing these came from original PNG sources in 1994/5 will add FAR more than $A70 to the extra price you obtain when selling.

1993 GB 24p Machin stamp *POSTAL FORGERY* in MUH blocks, $A4 each! I bought a couple of sheets of these 25 years back when they first surfaced in the UK, sold to Indian and similar family owned small corner stores and supermarkets, who retailed stamps for normal letters. A UK dealer, Bushell & Wright, was too scared to offer them in the UK, in case Scotland Yard paid him a visit. So he did a deal with me, and I sold them here for about $A40-$50 per stamp as I recall. Sterling was VERY high back then of course, and UK retail was £20 which was about $A45 a stamp then - literally.

These were the FIRST Postal Forgeries ever to appear in the UK for over a Century, since the QV 1/- "Stock Exchange Forgeries" of the early 1870s. SG lists those forgeries between £850-£4,000 EACH used. MY forgeries of these are as low as $A4 apiece - see https://tinyurl.com/24pFakes

The dealers got a Barrister's written opinion (copy of which I can enclose for you!) that him owning or selling these above face value created no offence under British Law in his view. Just as well - the forgers were caught and got prison sentences of up to 12 years each – far more detail here - https://tinyurl.com/24pFakes These forgeries are listed in SG, under Cat X969. Single current Machins from Kiloware are getting $A325 each on ebay as I report below, so Machins are back in the news BIG time - https://tinyurl.com/Nov12SN


Large UK dealers currently sell blocks of 8 of these same 24p Machin Forgery stamps for Ł77.50 ($A150 plus post!) or about $A20 apiece, as you can see - https://tinyurl.com/24pFakes I have one even larger block on hand at $A4 a stamp, if anyone is interested in breaking it down on ebay etc for a far greater profit - click link above. Keep a single, or block of 4 for yourself from the above lots, and sell the others on ebay etc, to get yours FREE! You may even come out in front money wise, and still keep yours free. Illustrated MUH block 10, is just 30% of UK dealer price - $A65 (Stock 619TQ) or a MUH block of 20, perfect for any album page, for a QUARTER of UK retail - $US60 or $A100 (Stock 619TR)

Stampboards of course reported it to the world first - if you collect Australia you DO need these - https://tinyurl.com/rare30c - NO dealer in the country has stock - except me AFAIK. PO's sold out 3 months back, and I am down to a couple sets 6 as I type this. There are TWO very distinct sets 6, Type "A" and Type "B" and I have just 2 sets of each in stock. If anyone has any spare sets, singles, or postally used covers to sell - please email ASAP!

It is now confirmed these sets ARE now listed in Stanley Gibbons with full catalogue numbers - SG 4492/4497. And soon set to follow are, Seven Seas "ASC", and Brusden White ACSC, Renniks "Stamps Of Australia" and probably Scott and Michel. Renniks cat just out has these at $4,500 a set of 6 mint. If you collect Australia you MUST source these, OR be incomplete.

If YOU still need these, prices are heading just one direction no they have been allocated full SG Numbers - full details here - https://tinyurl.com/GlenMay16 and are in the new Renniks Australia catalogue at $4,500 a set 6.

This amazing stamp issue made the big selling Newspapers, Fairfax and News Limited websites, and Radio media nationally. And this story was the Number #1 viewed article on the Linn's Stamp News website in the USA this week, and was in UK Magazines -

Did you realise the "30c Adelaide 2016" stamps were catalogued recently for $A4,500 the set of 6, and are also now fully listed in the Stanley Gibbons Catalogue? My today's price of $A1,995 ($US1200) will seem cheap next year! I now have ONE set 6 left. I can offer the identical "Adelaide 2016 $1.00" sets of 6 for $A500 for 10 sets 6 MUH, but strictly while stock lasts. (Stock 582GA) (Or 1 set is $A75 - Stock 582GB) Retail on those is up to $A100 a set already. Stars of the future. Mark my words. :mrgreen:

Falkland Islands 2002 Queen Mother M/Sheet MUH Bundle 100 near HALF FACE! and 10% of SG!: A dealer bought a lot of these - Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother 2002 Memorial Miniature Sheets, for a promotion upon the Queen Mother’s Death, aged 101. He had a couple of bundles left over when stocktaking, so we did a stock swap. Superb and fresh MUH, still in original Crown Agents sealed packs of 100. SG MS936 Cat £10 each - £1,000 = $A2,000. Face value is £2.15 each = $A430 a bundle of 100. (He had THREE bundles of 100, so if anyone wants all THREE the price drops to just $A600 - HALF FACE. (SG Cat $A6,000) – that is 10% of SG!) Superb re-seller line, as no-one else on ebay has these at ANY price! One sealed bundle of 100 to clear at near HALF FACE - $A225. Just $US163 right now – $A225 (Stock 749LEL)

New Zealand 2006 Kapa Haka Maori Dancers Rare “Unissued” set of 5: Sold, advertised, mailed and charged to some standing order clients by NZ Post. But hastily withdrawn in panic at Eleventh Hour, as some Maori activists did not like the design images! 39 mint sets of 5 were mailed, and a few FDC, booklets and one coil roll, and they are the rarest post-war issues for 100 years from NZ. (See detailed note on these in SG “New Zealand” cat after SG #2285.) An affordable way to buy these is via the un-issued 45¢ "Poi" Maori dancer self-adhesive booklet stamps or the 45¢ coil version. FAST ordering is recommended as when my small stock is gone, they can't be replaced.

Current market leading NZ Len Jury mass selling catalogue is $17,500 a set of 5, FDC at $25,000, and coil or booklet 45c singles $2,500 each. MY price is $A1,500 a single (Stock 583AB) 45¢ self-adhesive booklet stamp neatly cut from the block, or $A2,750 (Stock 583AC) a horizontal pair. (45¢ Coil stamps the same prices - Coil strip of FOUR for $A5,000 - Stock 583AH) Or $A5,000 a booklet block of 4 (Stock 583AD) - if a block is still intact of course when you order! (A block of 4 is a booklet “pane” - each booklet has 2 panes of 4, and a pair.) Or the complete booklet of 10 for $A11,000. (One only booklet on hand - Stock 583AE)

These figures are miles lower than NZ retail which is high as tiny supply rapidly shrinks, and news of their existence slowly spreads overseas. "Linn's Stamp News" carried my story on these front page in colour. And best of all, the NZ dollar has strengthened a lot against $A in recent months. A Len Jury auction in Auckland saw a set of 5 of these sell for $14,900 on a $13,500 estimate, and a later Mowbrays NZ sale had a set 5 invoiced at $14,562. In 2016 a set 5 was invoiced at NZ’s largest stamp Auction for $11,500. Forget Auction prices - I have a full set of 5 for sale MUH at $A8,500 a set 5 (Stock 583EF) or $A30,000 for matched MUH blocks 4. (Stock 583EG)

If you buy them off me, as an Australian resident, you avoid a certain 10% GST impost upon arrival from NZ as a highly insured item, versus ordering locally, and avoid the nasty new 3-4% "overseas use surcharge" + bad exchange rate your credit card bank will certainly levy. Likewise for NZ buyers, I mail in such a way Registered as to cause no 15% GST and Customs “interest” there on entry. My copies are IN-STOCK, and ready to mail now. NZ Buyers can pay into my NZ account if they choose, to save card and Forex fees.

Remember only 39 mint sets of 5 of these were EVER sold, and a few booklets and coil stamps, and NZ Post has confirmed that in writing, and confirmed these were a fully legit PO issue - see article below. Each stamp in each set is FAR scarcer than the 1906 1d "Claret" Christchurch, which have fetched up to $NZ22,500 each at public auction. See recent strong sales and that stamp’s history here - https://tinyurl.com/NZClaret These Kapa Haka are Classics of the future. For FAR more details of them all here: https://tinyurl.com/KapaNZ - a full set of 5 from me costs only $A8,500 (Stock 583EF) - or just $A1,700 apiece!

In this low interest rate climate, and Euro zone jitters, good stamps often perform FAR better than money in the bank, the evidence shows clearly. The overheated Real Estate market in Australia is due for a shock correction VERY soon, given our economy lately, and stamps are generally unaffected in such downturns, indeed usually go up.

The FIRST person whose order form is received by me gets each lot. Last month about 30 orders arrived after someone else had snagged it, and 8 folks were after just one lot, so do check it NOW I’d suggest.

Lebanon 1983 Kahlil Gibran "The Prophet" Imperforate stamp mini sheet x 18 SG $1,750 - just $A200
Most attractive - oddly my scanner does not show well at all, the bright and classy gold outer sheet borders, and borders on the stamps - the vagaries of technology - they just scan a flat dull beige brown, as can be seen above! Khalil Gibran was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer member of the New York Pen League. He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book “The Prophet”, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose.

The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again especially in the 1960s counterculture. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time. Ebay Retail $A85 – My price is 15% of that! https://ebay.com.au/itm/400900408116

Catalogue notes say these were sold at £25 EACH as a New Issue = literally $A70 each back then. So not many were bought, as that was serious bucks back then. A great hoard of fresh flat Imperforate MUH sheets I bought – EIGHTEEN of them. SG MS1291 cat £45 each or £810. ($A1,750.) Bought well, so priced at near 10% of SG to clear - $A200 or $US140 as I type this. Ebay seller Gold Mine right here! $A200. (Stock 543LB)

And please do that NOW. The FIRST order form I receive gets the lot. I often have 5 or 10 folks after the SAME lot each month. :idea:

All payment details etc are on: https://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! :lol:

For overseas members, to find out the approx cost in YOUR currency, click here - https://xe.com - the $A has CRASHED lately, and for USA 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 my lots lots $A200 and under are always mailed Unregistered and untracked at YOUR risk, unless YOU specifically note otherwise on order form. 100,000s of my transactions for 35 years have been safe by normal post. :idea:

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. :idea:

"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! :lol: :lol:

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"! :)

If you change your email address please be sure to email me with the NEW address or easier - use the link at end of the email you got. Each sending I make, a heap of emails are returned marked "no such mailbox" as collectors have changed ISP's or providers or plans or jobs, and do not advise those who only have the old email address on file - like me!
