The purpose of this page is to advise customers of recent (& prospective) changes to Price Lists on this web site.
All of our Price Lists remain current irrespective of any embedded dates.
We have now incorporated a powerful search
engine on the Home Page which will search the whole web site, including all
price lists.
Price Lists are updated periodically when necessary when we add substantial new stock or sell existing stock.
Some lists will be updated regularly (every 6 months or so) whilst others, where we are acquiring no new stock, will be updated
infrequently (every 2 years or so). We do not update lists for every
single transaction so there may be occasional minor stock-outs.

FINLAND: An almost complete, mainly VFU / Fine Used / Used collection between 1856-2009 added to stock, filling numerous gaps in the price list. Most sets are present and in fine condition. For serpentine roulettes, and other valuable items (such as SG3), graphics are shown and any faults noted. The collection includes the two superb sets of the very scarce North Ingermanland. [14.11.11]
NORWAY: Mainly MUH collection between 1925-2007 added to stock, filling numerous gaps in the price list pre 1945. Collection also included some Fine Used / Used pre 1925. [5.11.11]
EAST GERMANY [DDR]: New stock between 1949-63 added, filling numerous gaps in the price list -- mainly MUH and FU. [22.10.11]
GERMANY - EMPIRE, WEIMAR REPUBLIC: These parts of the comprehensive collections have now been completed resulting in numerous new listings. Regrettably, there were no Germania issues present. [10.10.11]
GERMANY - WEST BERLIN: A second, almost complete doubly collected MUH / Fine Used collection incorporated into stock. The collection included most of the early scarcer sets and singles, the highlights being the 1949 Berlin Relief Fund set VFU and the 1986-9 Famous Women set VFU / CTO. [25.9.11]
GERMANY - COLONIES, STATES, 1914-18 OCCUPATIONS, 1939-45 OCCUPATIONS, TERRITORIES [DANZIG, MEMEL etc], THIRD REICH: Two large comprehensive collections to the end of 1945 incorporated into stock resulting in many gaps in our various German price lists being filled. Additions are across the whole MUH .... Used range. The first collection contained mostly FM & FU stamps, and was doubly collected. The second collection was a dealer's stock and contained multiple copies of mostly cheaper items but still ones we have been unable to source until now other than by single copy collections. There are still many holes in the lists for this fascinating country.
We have yet to finish processing the Empire and Weimar Republic issues. The collections finish in 1945 before the creation of East and West Germany and West Berlin, so those lists are not affected. [17.9.11]
GERMANY - WEST BERLIN: An almost complete Fine Used / Used collection incorporated into stock. The collection included many scarcer sets and singles, resulting in most Fine Used gaps in our price list being filled. [10.9.11]
GERMANY - THIRD REICH: A well filled collection of mainly mint stamps and M/S from 1933 to 1944 incorporated into stock. Highlight is a beautiful copy of Michel Block 3 for the 1935 OSTROPA Philatelic Exhibition with the M/S cancelled with 2 crisp Exhibition pictorial cancels. The M/S is illustrated in the price list. The collection included other scarcer sets as well. [3.9.11]
GERMANY - WEST: A small collection of mainly Fine Used and used from 2001 to 2008 incorporated into stock. Unfortunately, the collection was not complete (but only a few missing) and there was only one of each. [3.9.11]
SPECIALS: Two new Specials Lists (26 & 27) posted. List 26 contains non-British Commonwealth stamps, PSEs, FDCs and exhibition items while List 27 contains Australia cinderellas and British Commonwealth stamps and FDCs. [4.8.11]
AUSTRALIA: EXHIBITION CANCELS: Layout has been revised and a significant number of scarcer items added. [4.8.11]
AUSTRALIA: DEFENCE: Layout has been revised and a number of new items added. [4.8.11]
THEMATICS / OMNIBUS: We have purchased a number of themed collections including Malaria Eradication, Freedom From Hunger, UN 50th Anniversary and Declaration of Human Rights. These collections consist of mostly Mint/MUH British Commonwealth omnibus issues and non-British Commonwealth issues. They have a reasonable degree of completion including a number of scarcer items, especially imperforate issues. The listings are spread across individual country lists, the British Commonwealth lists and the Foreign List. [21.7.11]
AUSTRIA: We have just purchased a collection of mostly FU stamps ranging from SG1 to the end of 2009. It included most everything with the exception of a few items such as WIPA granite paper, the WIPA M/S, Dollfuss and some perf and paper varieties. There were also many Austro-Hungarian Military Post, Austro-Hungarian POs and back-of-book issues. Highlights include the 1925 airmail set, the 1933 WIPA issue (ordinary paper) with exhibition cancel, all of the scarce 1920s-50s commemorative sets, most M/S, the 1950-9 airmail birds (which are now also available MUH) and many more too voluminous to specify. Only a few stamps had heavier postmarks relegating them to the (good) used section. Most recent issued are Bureau CTO issues. [19.7.11]
MALTA: New MUH & FU (CTO) stock added taking list to the end of 2003. [29.6.11]
AUSTRALIA: DEFENCE FORCES: This list has been rearranged, with greater detail, and new stock added especially around World War I. [5.6.11]
ALBUMS (used): We have just added 4 sets of albums in first class condition -- Davo deluxe albums for Spain, Spanish Andorra and China [PRC], and a KA-BE set for Austria from start to the end of 2009. These are all in superb condition and well worth the prices. [5.6.11]
NETHERLANDS: ARUBA: Stamps from a complete MUH collection from 1986 to 2010 are listed at the end of the Netherlands list. These stamps are seen infrequently and, once again, we have only one of each set. [30.5.11]
1949 UPU: Stamps from a MUH/Mint collection are listed in the countries for which we maintain price lists and for other countries in the British Commonwealth N-Z List (Omnibus listing at end of list) and the World - Foreign List. The latter two lists are subject to a 20% discount.
The collection was very close to complete world wide. Most Omnibus sets are MUH with the remainder of the collection (non British Commonwealth) being Mint (there are some MUH). There are a number of standout items seldom seen including the Austria aerogramme and address labels (listed in Michel), Belgium set 12 (mint), French New Hebrides, Hungary M/S (perf and imperf), the very scarce Hungary booklet (listed in Hungarian catalogue), Nicaragua set of sheetlets, the very scarce China Xinjaing Province, Japan aerogramme and Lebanon M/S to name just a few. Most stamps are in excellent condition having been stored well. Any with blemishes are noted. [17/5/11]
SPAIN & SPANISH ANDORRA: Price list expanded and new stock added for 1945-2005, mostly MUH. For Spanish Andorra, it is a new list and we have only one copy of priced items. For Spain, we have only one copy of priced items from 2001-5. [17/5/11]
TURKEY: Price list significantly upgraded and new stock added, mostly MUH. For most issues up to 1939 and after 1986 we have only one copy of priced items. For the intervening years, we mostly have multiple copies. [16/3/11]
ALL PRICE LISTS: All price lists have been revised and updated for movements in the AUD. Given the strength of the AUD, this means price reductions across most non-Australian dollar based lists. [16/1/11]
NEW ISSUES: New issues for the third quarter 2010 have now been listed. Note that, at the request of several customers, we have re-implemented the service for FRANCE and FRENCH SOUTHERN AND ANTARCTIC TERRITORIES, notwithstanding some significant drawbacks with La Poste's policies. Self adhesive stamps remain unavailable in philatelic quantities and issues made above face are not acquired. [13/10/10]
AUSTRALIA: At last we have finalised our Australia: Kangaroos and KGV list, which includes some imprints, plate blocks and listed varieties. This is not one of our principal focus areas, so stocks would be regarded as "thin" in comparison to other mainstream dealers. Nevertheless, we have listed what we have. [13/10/10]
SPECIALS: Two new Specials Lists (24 & 25) posted. List 24 contains non-British Commonwealth FDCs while List 25 contains British Commonwealth FDCs, and some stamps. [28/9/10]
AUSTRIA: List updated to incorporate new stock. Listings for earlier material have increased as have the number of Fine Used across several decades. Stock of Austro-Hungarian Military Post issues increased and listings expanded. [28/8/10]
AUSTRALIA: Several pages of MUH & Mint Kangaroos & KGV listed. A fuller listing with Fine Used, Used and varieties will appear shortly. [21/9/10]
AUSTRIA: List updated to incorporate new stock. Listings for earlier material have increased as have the number of Fine Used across several decades. Stock of Austro-Hungarian Military Post issues increased and listings expanded. [28/8/10]
SPECIALS: New Specials List 23 posted. Consists of Australian decimal FDCs and PSE lots. [10/8/10]
SPECIALS: Three new Specials Lists (20, 21 & 22) posted. List 20 concentrates on Australian predecimals and includes an assortment of mint/MUH stamps, blocks, imprints, plate varieties and coils. List 21 is predominantly Australian States but also has some Australian Commonwealth predecimals, postmark varieties and some decimal PSEs with special cancels. List 22 contains some foreign collections, single stamps and postal stationery, but the main emphasis is on a small number of lots of Australian banknotes and coins, and Australian cinderellas. [7/8/10]
EAST GERMANY: New stock added: 1949 - 1960 mint and fine used; thereafter, MUH & fine used. Many blocked values are now available as singles. Many se tenants from booklet panes are now also available.
We have updated our prices from the Michel 2010 Germany specialised catalogues. This has seen significant reductions in prices for early material (1949 - 1959), especially MUH. From around 1960, prices have been fine tuned rather than exhibiting any strong trend however, many fine used prices have shown small increases, particularly for mini sheets and sheetlets. [7/8/10]
NETHERLANDS: We have acquired additional MUH stamps and booklets thus expanding our range of offerings mainly in the 1950s and 2000s decades. We have also commenced upgrading our list to the recently released Stanley Gibbons Part 4 Benelux catalogue. This will take some further time to complete. [22/5/10]
RYUKYU ISLANDS [Okinawa]: We have purchased 2 small collections of MUH & Mint and have added the list to the end of the Japan List. In time, we hope to acquire more of this region and more fully populate the list. [22/5/10]
SOUTH AFRICA [RSA]: List updated to incorporate new stock. [9/5/10]
BRITISH COMMONWEALTH & FOREIGN: We have split the British Commonwealth list into 2 lists -- A - M and N - Z. Both of these lists attract a 20% discount as they contain stamps from countries for which we do not maintain a mainstream list. Recent additions include a sprinkling of MUH Malaysia and some MUH Maldive Islands and the Foreign list includes some nice MUH & FU Iraq. [4/5/10]
PORTUGAL: For a very long time. we have had difficulty sourcing quality MUH / Mint Portugal collections. Recently, we managed to acquire 2. The Portugal list has been completely updated and now shows a substantial increase in available stock including many scarcer sets & M/S -- MUH, Mint & Fine Used. Some PORTUGUESE COLONIES have also been added, but mainly bits & pieces, except for AZORES and MADEIRA where significant new listings are present. [2/5/10]
