Buying old postage stamps

Just a quick post to tell you I have gone a bit crazy in the Royal Mail shop. Been on a bit of a spending spree.

I love the latest issue ‘London 2010 Festival of Stamps’. Rather than buying a first day cover this time I have bought…

The King’s Stamps Prestige Stamp Book

The King’s Stamps Miniature Sheet

Accession of King George V Miniature Sheet

I was quite disappointed that I missed out on the mammals issue so to make up for that I bought…

Mammals Stamp Set

And while searching I came across the…

Europe Retail Stamp Book

Worldwide Retail Stamp Book

So I decided to ad these to the basket and I bought those too. Thought I may as well spread the £1.45 delivery charge over as many stamps as I could!

My sister is moving house and getting married next month so that must mean a new first day cover is due… one with a new name and address on. My plan of the postage stamp collection recording the family history is really working.

I will post pics of the merchandise when it is received and I will keep you updated on future purchases.

Edit: I just after posting this post I picked up my Old Postage Stamp book/catalogue and started going through to pick out all the castle stamps.

I guess this is my wish list. I haven’t been through them all yet but will hopefully post the list in its entirety shortly.

Until next time
