- This week Vincent and Andrew look at an amazing collection of Great Britain early issues, from the iconic 1840 1d blacks and 2d blues, 1841 1d reds and 2d blues, with an emphasis on unusual cancellations, varieties and shades. The album continues with lovely quality 1847 Embossed issues, Surface Printed types often with lovely postmarks, high values and so on.

Early British stamps are strangely fascinating, nothing else like them
Hi Jim. Yes, they are interesting, it probably helps that there have been generations of clever and well- resourced collectors who've built on each other's research leaving us with terrific catalogues and books which we can often take for granted but really bring the subject to life.
Wow what a awesome Great Britain collection
Thank you kindly!
The scope of that collection is amazing. Not one, but TWO penny red imperfs with red MX. Wow. 😮
Seems greedy!
Great collection. I am hoping to achieve something like that, but a long way to go yet. But will keep trying.
You can do it! Time and patience plus keeping the focus quite tight are the keys, in our opinion. Both Andy and Vincent collect but they keep their areas narrow so they can build exceptional collections without running out of money (they are both pretty cheap...). Andy collects the postcards and postal history of Anglesey, and Vincent collects 19th Century El Salvador!
How can you get bored at that !!
Phenomenal.
Take your time please.
I love early gb . Line engraved
More information the better for me.
I have every black
Every red from black
Every bantam
I love it.!
I bet the owner was proud of that collection.
Yes he was and was sad to sell but couldn't take it further!
An absolutely magnificent early GB ollection. I'd love to know the estimate and what it actually sold for.
Hello Ray. I'm glad you like it. We've decided to offer a number of the items from the collection individually in our 11th/12th November 2022 public auction, otherwise we've kept many of the remaining stamps together to make smaller lots still on the album pages - such as a collection of the 1841 1d red imperforates, another (with those lovely strips) of the 1841 2d blue imperfs, they'll all be in the same auction as well. Thanks for your lovely comment.
Wow beautiful

Thanks Raul. We are not sure what you exactly require but please take a look at our website www.sandafayre.com as we have loads of stamps there.
I have 100s and 100s of stamps plus a lot of old postcard with stamps on them would love to sell them all but would like to know value so where do I go from here to get that done?
Hello Jen. Stamps are arguably the most complex of all the collectables with identical - appearing stamps being worth wildly different amounts due to inks, watermarks, perforating machines and condition (it's impossible to grade condition without a lot of experience). Your best bet is to take them to a dealer or specialist auction like us. Try to Google 'stamp dealers' or 'stamp auctions near me', or go to the PTS (Philatelic Traders Society') website as it's a useful resource. If you are still not sure give the office at Sandafayre a call and we'll try to find someone near you. Fingers crossed!
What was it worth?
I wouldn't mind that one. I will have to send you some more of my English stamps. Having a bad Flu at the moment.
Get well soon!
