Hey guys, I collect pretty much exclusivly GB items, I'm only 17 and a student so as you can imagine my income is... limited to say the least! I was hoping that if anybody had any spare GB material they had lying around they were willing to part with, I would really be appreciative of that! My collection is growing steadily enough! I will continue to upload scans of different items I have for you guys to check out! Infact I might even do a few now with a nice cup of tea in hand! Kind regards (and crossed fingers!), Cormac.
Thought I would share this one! It is the Sainsburys edition said the dealer! Still in original packaging(sealed). My Dad brought this back from a small stamp shop across the way from Stanley Gibbons on Strand in London (aswell as a few other items, like the Estonian postcard below -Two images front and back.) Here is another cover, one from South Africa then to Ireland once again! Lots of scribbles and opened/censored. Here are the three different Diamond Jubilee sheets issued! Above is a cancelled in blue penny red. Not the best example but just something from my collection I thought you guys might like to see, anyone got any really nice early penny blacks/red with rare cancellations, town, different inks etc? Thought West might like this one with KGV! Tell me what you think and as always feedback is very much welcomed as well as some sort of an education on any of the items! I am by no means any sort of expert so all the knowledge is appreciated.
Beautiful collections you have there. Hmmmm, maybe my next collection would be GB.... Thank you for sharing Equinox.
Just did 5 mins research! On the Talinn, Estonia postcard. Here is a modern picture of the Toompea Castle. http://www.historvius.com/images/original/toompea-castle-1437.jpg
No problem! I have a pretty extensive modern collection, completing the minisheet collection for now, then I will get albums and begin collecting QV II mint and maybe some earlier stuff aswell (perhaps KGVI since I have some basic stuff already). I have lots of FU GB stuff if you are interested!
I like the novelty of the Bond issues but think the censored cover are the best and the penny red may have a not so common cancel, though I may be wrong. I also think your dad gives you some good advice on these items, give him a hug.

You mean the censor covers ? All they mean is when the item was mailed remailed or forwarded by the original cancel, transit and last, possible arrival cancel and censored in the first place. Not rare or of much value but nice to have.
i have to say i love the three kings, and never thought of them all being in the same year, and i have looked at mine many a time, and the catalogue as well and never picked up on it some lovely stamps there, i have a lot of early imperial Elizabeth both mint and used if you are interested Steve
Stamps that have been on envelopes and stamped by the post office. Not new stamps. Woo hoo I knew the answer to someone else's question. Thanks for that Windy.....x
