Welcome, to the latest Sunday Stamps posting.
I had planned to post a completely different post this week, but then this morning, whilst reading the paper; The Western Daily Press dated 27th August 2011, I spotted the following picture of a collection of Penny Blacks. The collection sold at an auction in Sherborne in Dorset for £2,400. A rather impressive set. I was though, slightly surprised that they didn't sell for more.

Bargain:-) I suppose there were so many of them they are not rare, but would be nice to have in a collection.
ReplyDeleteI heard they weren't particularly rare but all the same, it doesn't sound like much.
ReplyDeleteNot rare, but I not surprised at the price. You have to establish what year they were produced as apprently lots were printed.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what they usually sell for or what the differences are, but that sounds like a lot of money to me.
ReplyDeleteTo an American that does sound like a bit of money!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely out of my range! Haha. Thanks for sharing the insight.
