We searched on-line for a similar calibre 4 margin horizontal strip sold / offered, the nearest we could find being a horizontal strip of 3 - four margin but cut into on the right-hand stamp which sold for £829 in an eBay auction against multiple bids. No comparison against a 4 margin strip of four with no faults - but, at least a starting point to establish value. We estimate this strip to be worth at least double the eBay realisation. SG had nothing comparable except a marginal strip of 3 fine used at £9,500 or a strip of 6 on a cover to HMS Gorgon at £22,500. Makes our starting price look positively cheap. RARE strip of four.

To put the rarity of this stamp into perspective, the 10c on 30c with Chinese characters similarly with double surcharge has been recorded incl. within a complete mint pane, and a handful of singles (currently priced at £12,000 by SG).

19680General - World Collector's world-wide accumulation, collected over the course of some forty + years. An extraordinary 'massive' collection that completely filled a large 4 x 4 when we were asked to uplift for sale by auction and offer intact as one lot. A world-wide holding, comprises collections, new issues, albums, stockbooks, covers, even mixtures including kiloware. Doubtless consuming most of the collector's 'stamp-den space', it seems that, as so often, the joy was to be had in the acquisition rather than the sorting out. With so much material weighing 100 kgs+ we're talking literally tens of thousands of stamps / items accumulated by purchase from stamp fairs, stamp shops, collectors, mail-order dealers and smaller stamp auctions. Not being 'big' on sorting out, there's literally months of enjoyment sorting, sifting, cataloguing and arranging . If you are interested by literally months of philatelic 'work', rather than write an essay, Andrew has offered to give you a verbal description over the telephone whilst surrounded by the mountain of material, bags, 15+ boxes, which may take some thirty +/- minutes on the telephone, but will adroitly answer any queries (or your spouse's concerns!). Obviously shipping is extra, and this is the only lot in the auction upon which we cannot offer a return refund guarantee, because obviously shipping may come to hundreds of pounds (unless the buyer collects), so we want you to be confident that this enormous philatelic 'hoard' is right for you. £5000
