Welcome to our latest sale which is packed full of interesting and unusual material.

This sale features part 4 of the colossal “Trent” collection of British Empire mint postage stamps that was built up over a lifetime of methodical and disciplined collecting, buying only and every stamp in the mint condition.

I recently gave a talk at Poynton Philatelic Society on the aspects of preparing your collection for sale and advising on how to look after your collection – if you would like me to give a similar talk at your society please contact me (distance permitting!).
