2008 Price Increase

Royal Mail have announce that their prices will be going up again in early 2008. You can beat the price increase by stocking up NVI stamps (that show 1st or 2nd rather than 24p or 34p) which will still be valid after the price increase.

We sell stamps at a significant discount to the face value making it an even better deal. Look at our price and order today.

There is a difference between stamp collectors and those who extensively study stamps, which is called philately. Most people enjoy collecting stamps as a form of recreation. They don’t spend time worrying about minute details. Those who indulge in philately are typically those who tend to invest large amounts of money in the buying of stamps. They make it a point to understand the finer points of a stamp and the rarity or desirability of a particular stamp. Rare stamps are rising increasingly in value and for some this can be quite an investment. Stamps are an extremely portable item unlike the bigger items such as paintings or sculptures. They’re tiny and much easier to display in an attractive album that can be displayed or locked in a safe depending on the value of the stamps one owns. Many people arrange stamps in varying ways, some by country while others like to place them according to their sizes. Still others will arrange them by topic.
