If you need a quote for anything not on the list, you can always e-mail us.

HOW TO ORDER; you can order by post, by telephone, or by e-mail.
HOW TO PAY; you can pay by cheque, by cash or by credit/debit card.

Please see our  How to Order page for details - we try to be as helpful as possible when finding ways that you can pay !

QUALITY; all prices are for goods in the following conditions;
Mint sets - prices for unmounted mint, with no faults. Any sets issued in blocks or strips se-tenant are supplied that way unless specifically stated. We can very often supply lightly mounted mint examples of some of the dearer pre-decimal sets, usually at about 40% less than the prices here.
First day covers up to 1970 - the prices here for covers to 1970 are very arbitrary. Covers appear in a wide variety of qualities, styles of envelopes, different postmarks, and so on. Our prices are for good average/fine first day covers on illustrated envelopes, with no serious faults, and in "the quality you can reasonably expect to find". If you want to be any more specific, we suggest you contact us, as we do stock many thousands of covers. Prices for this section should really be taken as a guide only; you may find that we do not have a cover at the price quoted, but may well have a choice at higher and lower prices.
First Day Covers from 1971 onwards - the prices we quote are for "Bureau covers", that is the full set on a Post Office envelope with typed address and Philatelic Bureau cancel. Again, we stock a much, much, wider variety at any time.
Presentation Packs - all prices are for fine condition, although in the earlier years, a certain amount of cellophane shrinkage/warping/splitting is to be expected. Our stock usually represents the better end of the range of quality of the material that passes through our hands. In later years (mid-1970s onwards), we would expect to supply in "Post Office Quality", i.e. as supplied when new. (In some cases our packs will be better than average post office issue quality, as any we see with obvious short perforations etc. on the stamps will be rejected by us.)
PHQ Postcards - prices for mint cards from 1978 onwards are for very fine condition. There may be the tiniest of blemishes or corner dents/little scratches, but these are usually of the seriousness only noticed by the very fussy. If you are a very fussy collector, please say so, and we will try to oblige. Prices for used (first day) cards are also for very fine, although due to their processing it is more likely that they may have minor blemishes, but again nothing serious. Used cards will either be unaddressed, with pencil address, or may have a neat address (typed, rubber stamp, or label). If you only want unaddressed please say so.
