Imaging

After a full day spent imaging stamp lots, which can be accomplished at a good rate, the backlog of imaging for James and Sons May sale, which takes place at the Maids Head Hotel in Norwich on the 24th is looking a lot less bad than it did this morning. Printed copies of our catalogue should be available early next week.

The stamps I encountered today were from the full range of places and eras, and as you will see from the pictures which dominate this post, there were some gems…

  1. Hi Thomas

    I was just wondering what sort of prices lots like these fetch? I have for example, my father’s stamp album which doesn’t seem very different from these. I could bring it back with me in August.

    Would be good to hear your thoughts.

    Thanks

    1. A really special individual stamp can be worth a few hundred on it’s own (e.g. in our April sale a 2d blue was estimated at £150-200), while a high quality album sold as a single lot can be upwards of £300 (also in the April catalogue, a single album collection of GB mint condition stamps spanning 1841-1970 was listed at £375-450). As to the particular album you have in your possession, David James himself would need to look at it to give it a valuation. It may well be worth your while bringing the album over – I will mention it at work next week.
