All lots are described with honesty and as accurately as possible, No AI descriptions used here. Please study photos/Scans/Videos carefully as they form a huge part of the description and condition. 

LOT REMARKS : Large album featuring the worlds greatest cars. Very slight browning on page edges from long storage otherwise very good condition. Please note not all Pages/Contents are shown in the photo gallery due to restricted space set by eBay. Photos are randomly taken and shown in the photo gallery.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING :

I combine lots for shipping worldwide up to a maximum of 10kg (22lb)  All items sent outside the UK will be posted Royal Mail tracked. 

ALTHOUGH THE MAJORITY OF TAXES ARE INCLUDED IN THE FINAL SALE ON EBAY I MUST STATE THAT RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT OF ANY IMPORT TAXES THAT ARISE ARE UP TO THE BUYER TO PAY INCLUDING ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL FEES YOUR COUNTRY MAY CHARGE.

UK SHIPPING:

Parcels : I combine postage on multiple lots up to 10kg (22lbs) I use Royal Mail 2nd class signed for at discounted rates unless you choose a different service in the postage section (If available) on the listing . 

Special delivery is set for high value items/lots over £50 for peace of mind for the buyer and myself again charged at discounted rates. 

I’m mindful in keeping shipping costs to an absolute minimum for you and empathise with rising shipping costs, I try my best to consolidate lots but please understand everything posted must be covered by Royal Mail Postal insurance. 

Items are usually packed & shipped within 24 to 48 hours however I do state up to 3-4 working days on my listings. 

Royal Mail have once again increased postage costs and lowered Compensation for loss items, insurance is now set at £20 for 1st or 2nd class standard and recorded ( Recorded used to cover up to £50)

I mainly sell Stamps , Postal history, Ephemera, Collectables and Retro Vintage items plus a few oddities from my huge personal hoard/Collections over the years. It’s time to let go of many items I’ve collected and admired over the years for others to enjoy. 

Please note Philately is an enormous study, Honest mistakes can be made. If you notice any listing that is incorrect or you have an opinion I will be more than happy to look into it and even have a friendly chat about it. 

It’s in my best interest to make sure items are described with honesty and as accurately as possible.

Stamps sold with certificates are sold on the opinion of such and not to any other opinion.

All accumulation listings on album pages, hagners and stock cards are unchecked for faults and forgeries and are sold as-is unless stated.

RETURNS AND REFUNDS 

Lots sold such as kiloware , Albums/Pages, Stock books , Bulk lots / Job lots etc are non exchangeable nor refundable these items are usually sold for a quick sale and unsorted , I post videos and clear photos for this reason. , Please respect this! , Cherry pickers and scammers stay well away ! This may sound harsh but unfortunately fraud and dishonesty has recently become all too common. 

ITEMS ELIGIBLE TO BE RETURNED WILL BE STATED ON THE LISTING THESE MUST BE POSTED RECORDED WITH THE TRACKING NUMBER ENTERED AND MUST RETAIN A PROOF OF POSTAGE RECEIPT FROM THE POSTAL COMPANY! THANK YOU. 

Please do not leave negative feedback on kiloware or job lots just because you didn’t get what you specifically wanted ! My photos are clear/in focus and should give you a fair and good example of what you will receive along with honest lot remarks above. Videos are shot with a 4K HD camera however please note because of limited space set by eBay videos may look dizzyingly rushed and at times a little blurry this is because I have to reduce the quality in order to squeeze the entire item under a certain memory size set by eBay . I’ll always try and show the entire contents under a space restricted time frame. Thank you. 

CONDITION OF STAMPS 

Please study photos/Scans/Videos carefully as they form a huge part of the description and condition.

I will always give an honest description with any faults mentioned in the lot remarks above. 

There are many interpretations on stamp condition from country to country person to person.

To clarify my listings condition please read below : 

UM = Unmounted Mint ( stamp is post office fresh with no gum disturbance ) 

MNH = Mint Not Hinged ( stamp is post office fresh with no gum disturbance )

UU = UnUsed = no cancellation, no gum or part gum 

LMM = Lightly Mounted Mint ( stamp has been mounted in the past with little disturbance to gum, no hinge remains )

MM/MH = Mounted Mint - Mint Hinged( stamp has been mounted with no/part or all hinge remaining)

MHH = Mint Heavy Hinged ( stamp has been hinged more than twice in the past with gum disturbance)and may have multiple hinge remains 

MNG = Mint No Gum 

OG = Original Gum 

GU = Good Used = physically sound without tear, thin or other faults

VF = Very Fine = A superb example mint or used 

FU = Fine Used = A fine used example in a sound collectable condition. 

CDS = Circular Date Stamp ( Cancellation/Franking)

SPACE FILLER = Major/Very obvious faulty stamp to fill a gap in album until a better example comes along.

HV = High Value ( Face or catalogued) 

MIXED CONDITION = All or some of above 

CLOSE CUT = meaning less paper around the stamp so that it produces a greater number of stamps by weight. I have always in my collecting days tried to salvage any neat & complete CDS/Cancellations. 

SUPERB/ SUPERB USED  = A post office fresh unhinged mint stamp or used with a clean crisp cancellation with no faults

ABBREVIATIONS 

Alph = Alphabet 

Anniv = Anniversary 

F.C = Fiscal Calculations

H/S = Handstamped

Imp, Imperf = Imperforate

Opt(d) = Overprint (ed) 

P-C = Pen Cancelled

S = Specimen 

Wmk = Watermark (inv inverted - vert vertical)

CAT = Catalogue value  

Any letters and/or numbers in brackets for example shown like this (A123) is for 

my reference. 

REGARDING STAMP VALIDITY 

Just to clarify the current situation regarding the validity of UK postage stamps.

Royal Mail clearly state on their website that all non-barcoded stamps issued as commemorative/special stamps/Pictorial and non-barcoded Christmas stamps from 1971 (start of decimalisation) to present day remain fully valid for postal use in the UK. They have also confirmed that all future commemorative/special issue/Pictorial stamps from 2024, 2025 and beyond will not have barcodes neither and fully valid for postage. 

Barcodes only apply to the commonly purchased Definitive or every day stamps, basically the plain Queen's or King's Head on stamps which are purchased over the counter at Post Offices and other retail outlets etc. Barcodes have also been applied to Christmas and regional issued stamps since 2021 and all future issues will have barcodes. Non-barcoded Christmas stamps from 1971 remain valid for postage today, This is because Royal Mail were concerned that collectors of GB stamps (worldwide) would stop collecting (and sell up) if suddenly their Christmas Stamps (which account for around 10% value of a typical collection) were no longer valid and had to be swapped. Royal Mail make a lot of money from stamp collectors buying the new issues.
