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.
They are updated periodically when necessary when we substantively add 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).
POSTED CHANGES
LAOS: We have removed Laos from the foreign list and created a new list in the Asia section as the consequence of our buying a Laos collection. The collection is predominantly MUH / MNG and spans 1951-1995. It is about 90% complete for stamps but there are no M/S. They are from an album which, we suspect, has either been stored tightly vertically or laid flat, probably with other items on top. This has inevitably resulted in many issues adhering to the album pages. Hence the unusually large number of Mint No Gum [MNG] sets rather than MUH. However these stamps are seen infrequently and early issues of Laos are quite scarce and hence expensive. Occasionally, some stamps have a strip indentation, a light impression on some large stamps from the above strip in the stockbook. However, the stamps are undamaged and are quite collectible. The indentations will disappear with time in new mounts or can be pressed out. [4/3/10]
FOREIGN: New stock from Cameroun, Morocco & Togo after independence of these former French colonies. Remember a 20% discount applies to these items. [25/2/10]
FRENCH COLONIES: New stock from Cameroun, Morocco, Tangier & Togo whilst they were French colonies, prior to their independence. [25/2/10]
FRENCH ANDORRA: List updated to include a large quantity of new MUH issues from a dealer's stock purchased. Most of our stock, with a few exceptions, is now in depth although the accumulation regrettably was devoid of Europa issues. These still prove difficult to acquire in the aftermath of the ALFINSA debacle. [11/2/10]
HUNGARY: List updated to include items from collection No 1 from 4 collections purchased. A large quantity of new mint and FU stock has been added in the early years particularly before 1945, including many scarce items. The list will be updated as further collections are processed. [1/2/10]
CHINA: We have removed China (all sovereignties) from the foreign list and created a new list as the consequence of our buying a China (PRC) collection. The collection is predominantly MUH and spans 1990-2002. It is about 90% complete. As it is a collection, we have only one copy of each item / set so best order early to avoid disappointment. The list is located within the Asia section of our price lists. [1/2/10]
SAN MARINO: New stock added. [8/1/10]
ITALY, LIECHTENSTEIN, SAN MARINO, SWITZERLAND, VATICAN: Price lists have been revised and updated to the new SG 2010 Part 8: Italy & Switzerland catalogue. In general, this has resulted in price increases, some significant, right across the board, but particularly to FU material. Exchange rates have also been adjusted resulting in lower prices. [26/12/09]
FRENCH ANDORRA: The price list has been expanded with new stock added, especially in the earlier period. The list has now been separated from the France list. [6/12/09]
BULGARIA: Price list has been completely revised, expanded and updated to the new SG 2009 Part 13: Balkans catalogue. In general, this has resulted in price increases, some significant, right across the board, but particularly to FU material. A large quantity of new MUH, mint and FU stock has been added in the early years particularly before 1945. It includes many scarce items. [26/11/09]

JAPAN: We have adjusted the exchange rates on our Japan list due to recent movements in the Australian dollar. In general, this has meant a reduction in most prices. [16/7/09]

EGYPT: We have made substantial additions to stock and significantly increased its breadth and depth from a retired dealer's stock covering the start to around 1980 including a number of scarce items. Coverage also includes the Egyptian Occupation of GAZA. Stamps are MUH, Mint, MNG, FU & U and have filled a number of previous blanks. We will be offering some specials soon for those items acquired in quantity and which are surplus to our needs. Obviously, these are the more common items and not the scarcer ones. Watch our future Specials Lists. [17/6/09]
FRENCH COLONIES: A new price list has been established to relieve the pressure on the ever expanding World-Foreign list by consolidating French Colonies in a single list. It is not our present intention to develop stocks of French Colonies, (although most collections we purchase have a smattering of these), so items in this list still retain their 20% discount. The list is a first draft and still under development with new stock currently being added. [31/5/09] Completed [3/7/09]
