Dear Collector,
Welcome to our catalogue number 126.
Best wishes for 2012 from all of us here at the Stamp
Centre.
We know that thanks largely to Royal Mail the last catalogue was very late being delivered to some of you for which we can only apologise. As a result it arrived at the same time as our Hundred of the Best list whereas the two lists should have been some way
apart.
The GB section contains some lovely 1d Red imperforate issues including some super re-entries and in the 1858 penny red plate number series we have continued the listing as these were very well received last month. Within the Victorian surface printed there are some nice cds used copies that are first time offered and the list also contains a range of new King Edward VII mint copies, many being unmounted
mint.
Within the British Commonwealth section this time are lovely selections of both 1935 Silver Jubilee and 1948 Silver Wedding omnibus issues. Additionally there are a range of 1937 Coronation sets perforated ‘specimen’ that are seldom offered and a nice addition to the basic stamp issue. All of these have now been added to the thematic listings for quick reference. There are also good newly listed selections of Australia (King George V), Gibraltar (QEII period), New Zealand (King George V) and further selections of Rhodesian double heads and admiral
issues.
The thematic section also has fresh material spread throughout and includes quite a number of Butterflies and Olympics issues. Given the games coming to London this year, we envisage significant interest in this theme over the coming
months.
As always the photo plates are your best guide to the range and quality available, with a strong emphasis in the illustrations of new stock and items that are visually appealing.
Please have alternatives ready where possible in case your first choices are unavailable. Every list we have several potential purchasers who are disappointed and alternatives can be a way to avoid this.
Best wishes,
Steven Scott.
