Wow, beautiful collections, especially the mint collection!!! Stuff of dreams. Thanks for showing them. ... "Impress your friends and make your enemies jealous!"😆🤣
Agreed! We recommend using your phone and either film yourself turning pages, or take snaps of pages. You don't have to take a picture of everything if you want to keep a dealer / auctioneer honest - just let them know you've taken pictures! We hear very little in the UK about dodgy dealings, the main players are all honest.
Most often mint are valued higher, are much scarcer and they look nicer. I've heard about 20% of collectors prefer to collect used - I'm fine with both, but prefer mint

You bet!
Eye-popping!
Both great but second collection is stunning !!
I think so too!
I'm intrigued. Wouldn't those fetch more money by being curated into individual lots?
Almost certainly, and probably at least 30% more, but that is more work and breaks the integrity of the collections
These two collections shows me what a small padawan I am. Very nice collections, but far beyond my possibilities.
We know the felling! We are like Rolls Royse salesmen - we sell the best but drive home in regular cars!
There are one or two used - e.g. British Guiana Continued page.
If donating to auctions etc....Please be careful and take photgraphs before leaving them anywhere... You need photographoc proof.

Yes, a real pleasure for us to see.

I know that mint stamps are invariably more valuable but they just leave me cold. Give me a collection of used pieces of history any day.
Sour grapes.
