NSW 1852 6d Brown Laureate: VFU, no thins/toning/faults, on medium white wove paper. Crisp, and beautifully struck RARE ‘92’ cancel of Richmond River (Top Rarity Rated "RRRR".) Stamp has a very sharp, crisp early proof-like impression. Four margins, close to large – with top frameline of the adjoining stamp visible underneath, showing just how tiny the spacing is on these issues. The stamp is in the dark colour, but a lightened off scan is attached alongside to show that all margins are in fact clear, and to show the cancel better, and design detail to help plate it. Hard to improve upon example - a really choice stamp with a brilliant full strike of the very rarest of NSW postmarks to go with it. ASC $1,500. SG #72 £900=$A2250. $A650

149     Kangaroo 1915 2½d Second Watermark Monogram strip of 3. Complete "JBC" monogram - many monograms in this era are cut off at base. Indeed, an off-centred single stamp with the monogram badly sliced off at base sold for near $A90,000 last year at Auction! Lot of info in this link here on the soaring popularity (and prices) of Kangaroo monograms :

https://www.glenstephens.com/linnsFeb23-04.html

Fresh mint, no rust, but creased. Quite UNBEATABLE colour, centering and freshness as you can see - absolutely exceptional appearance for these. (For some weird and inexplicable reason, the image has "strobed" when scanned on my new scanner - in the flesh it looks facially superb - trust me! 100% Money back guarantee you'll like the looks of it!) Only a few strips exist in this monogram from top plate of sheet.

ACSC 10zd, $3,000, and going much higher EVERY edition. The Catalogue value is WAY out of date on this item already. A poorly centred, hinged "JBC" Monogram strip of 3 sold for $A4,200 at Prestige Philately Auction on June 25, 2005 :

http://www.prestigephilately.com/auction116/226255.jpg

151     NAURU - superb cover to PAPUA with complete set 14 of the 1937 Ship/Freighter: Incredible colourful 'eye-appeal' cover with complete set 14 VFU of this rare Definitive set. VERY seldom seen in genuine used condition. (SG 26B-39B Cat £225 =$A560 as used OFF cover!)

Stamps all tied crisp "Nauru Central Pacific 19 Nov 53" cds. This cover shows correct use of the CURRENT definitives. SG Cat "x 6" on cover = £1,350 ($A3,375) but clearly this is philatelic use.

The rare PAPUA destination makes it even more desirable - especially to collectors of Papua incoming mail - of which virtually nil would exists from Nauru! I can't recall seeing another complete set at any time, to any destination. Be like seeing a full set of 1936 CofA Kangaroos on one cover - again something I have never seen, and I do not believe exists.

A stunning looker, that fits perfectly on #1 size Hagner sheet, stockbook page, or any album page. Huge face value for over half a century back. $A500

156             St. Lucia 1883 1d Postal Fiscal 11mm with DOUBLE overprint superb used: Quite perfect condition light postal used with light upright “A11” numeral. SG F21b £350=$A925. A finer copy you would never see - yet only 33% of SG Cat! (NOTE - I have under-exposed the scan so that the clear doubling on the word "Postage" is more visible. If you want a much larger scan please ask and it is strikingly evident on that!) $A300

Papua New Guinea 1994
Rare "Emergency Overprints":

Papua New Guinea 1994 "Emergency Overprints":   I do now have, and have always had, the largest stock of these overprints in the world. Buy DIRECT from the original "source"! Thousands of collectors NEED this set to complete their collections. Only 45,000 were ever printed, NONE were sold by the agents, Papua New Guinea Bureau, or even Australia Post. Nearly all were used up on genuine commercial mail.   Not discovered by stamp world until months after all the key values all used up! I first reported their existence to the stamp world.



"Set of 11" - SG # 730/740. Michel # 714 -724.   Scott # 860/871. ASC Cat $A420.

Local Richard Juzwin retail price is $A330. The Seven Seas Stamps "Australian Stamp Catalogue" (ASC) price for the set 11 is $A420. MUH set of 11 - my VERY special DISCOUNT price offer for this month is: $A275.   Or MUH blocks of 4 (very rare) $A1,250.   I also have the earlier and later overprints also at terrific discount prices.   For a complete set of TWENTY different overprints my discount price is $A335 or that full set 20 in MUH blocks 4 for $A1,500.   These will never be cheaper.

Definitive sets like the 1967 Anguilla overprints are already cat at £9,000 in Stanley Gibbons ... and Anguilla has NOTHING like even 1% of the collector following of PNG I suspect. Think about it! £9,000. This PNG set has a LONG way to go yet - that seems very clear. This PNG set selling for DOUBLE my price would not surprise me to see in the next few years. For very detailed and comprehensive background on this issue with all numbers printed etc - see my special page on these issues: https://www.glenstephens.com/overprints.html

Finally - all the 1994 "Emergency" sets I sell are of course guaranteed 100% genuine. You may ask for a Photo Certificate Of Genuineness on my security watermarked colour letterhead for this set of 11 or 20, dated and signed, illustrating in full colour the exact set I mail you. If required, this CERTIFICATE costs you an extra $A45 on top of price of the stamps, largely to cover the considerable time and messing around of individually preparing each one, typing, and scanning &c. This is Substantially cheaper than sending it to the R.P.S. in London etc, which takes half a year to get back, and also incurs substantial Registered airmail cost to you - in both directions.   And quite frankly, the RPS would not have a clue about these issues. 'Too Modern' they would sniff.   Years down the track when the set sells for several times what it does now, such a certificate Guaranteeing these came from original PNG sources in 1994/5 will add FAR more than $A45 to the extra price you obtain when selling.

Special Offer #159

***** I bought Pallet loads from Germany! *****

LIGHTHOUSE STOCKBOOKS AT Under HALF THE COST OF HAGNER SHEETS !!!!!

This is a wonderful lot. My BEST selling line all year.  Another few pallets of stock just arrived. All BLACK pages as that is what all collectors prefer. Your stamps look SO much better on black pages than white. The universal best-seller 32 page size. This new Deluxe line has CLASSY looking covers front and back - like 'marbled' leather I suppose you'd call it. SO much classier than the solid colours they have used for the past 30 years! A lovely mix of cover colours per carton.   Top quality West German made books. The BEST! Surely your stamps DESERVE the best .... and at HALF the usual storage costs .. why ever not?!

These have CRYSTAL CLEAR strips - 9 strips per page. This is much more expensive than glassine to manufacture of course - but with glassine your stamps are always half hidden behind murky/cloudy type glassine when you look at them. VERY few stockbooks (only a few %) sold in the past 20 years have CLEAR strips, as the cost to make them is high. Strong LINEN HINGED pages both sides for very long wear and DOUBLE interleaving to protect all your stamps - and stopping the cheaper single interleave pages from tangling and crumpling up - which they ALWAYS do!

I am selling these ONLY in Factory cartons of TEN for $A240

Or TWO factory cartons of 10 - 20 stockbooks - for just $A450! (A70¢ a page!)

(And yes, I will quote even lower prices on larger buys - dealers, re-sellers or collectors with a LOT of re-housing to do please enquire!)

Postage and insurance is of course extra, but as always, I use carefully selected, light cancelled, philatelically VERY valuable stamps and se-tenant strips, small run modern mini sheets of 10 etc on every carton mailed, so "real" shipping cost is often basically zero to you. POSTAGE ON 2 BOXES is exactly the SAME as 1 box within Sydney! Indeed, ANYWHERE within Sydney Metro/Central Coast/Newcastle/Wollongong costs the SAME for 1 or 2 boxes i.e. $A10 Registered post and packing in total. To Melbourne or Brisbane 2 boxes costs only $A5 more in total for mailing cost. True! At Aust.70c a page getting 2 boxes is a deal you cannot not seriously consider. Your page cost is way less. And shipping costs nothing to only $5 extra on the entire order!   In nearly all of Australia heavy parcels are delivered to your door by an Australia Post parcels contractor - i.e. no lifting for you!

That is 320 pages of quality low acid, black page storage for only Aust.75¢ a page. (Only Aust.70¢ a page for the 2 box buy!)  A British made HAGNER sheet is R.R.P. $1.55 each these days - with no binder of course! So you are getting classy German made 'Lighthouse' stockbooks for in effect UNDER HALF the price per page of 32 Hagner sheets - which have no binder! (And which are nowhere near as classy or permanent a storage medium as a Lighthouse stockbook of course.)

Order fast before these are sold out. My next shipment will cost me more - sad but true, as wholesale price has increased. Yes, with the very strong Euro, and weakening $A, my replacement cost WILL be higher if I need to re-order. Band together with a friend and share them 5 each, or order via your stamp club etc. One client has ordered TEN cartons (100!) of these off me in the few months since I have ran this special. As I point out above, the postage cost for TWO cartons is often the same in $$s as ONE carton! A strange Australia Post quirk, but true.   A huge carton delivered registered post right to your front door for $10 seems nuts.

REMEMBER: It is a great idea to now and again re-house ALL your stamps.   At this price why not do that NOW? Stockbooks 10-15 years old WILL have mould growing on the pages if stored in Australia. NO doubt about it. In any coastal areas it will start in well under 10 years. And on black pages it is VERY hard - indeed almost impossible - to see with the naked eye. You WILL see it using a UV lamp - go check your books! For a measly $20 a new stockbook to put your $1,000s of stamps into a brand new clean book makes superb sense. A pizza costs more than this. Foxing on the STAMPS will lose you half their value. Once mould starts on the stockbook pages, that toning/foxing/rust spreads like a cancer to the other pages and to the stamps inside. Like fruit in your fruit bowl at home .... one piece of fruit gets mould and the entire bowl has it within 24 hours. Stamps are no different. It spreads fast. AND your old stockbooks are bound to have the VERY old fashioned cloudy GLASSINE strips, so you can't see your stamps clearly anyway! Another good reason to replace them all NOW at this great price!

In 25 years of stamp dealing I have learnt one truism. No collector can EVER have too many empty stockbooks! Just because you "think" you will not use 10 or 20 (or 30 or 40 or 50) you are WRONG

Trust me.
