Stamps: Estates & Private Collections
Stamps have a very specific place in the collecting world and, as a leading auctioneer, McTear’s has handled major stamp collections in the past. We are pleased that the time has now come for a dedicated department and auction. This inaugural auction brought to the market stamps from GB, European, US, Commonwealth and much more.
Face value
Where a 'face value' is stated, it means a lot includes stamps that can be used to send mail for many years to come, although small stamps after 31 January 2023 will have to be exchanged for more secure stamps. Commemorative stamps are unaffected by the Royal Mail rule change (more detailed explanation available on request).
Catalogue Price
Where, for example, Cat at £100 is stated, this means that this is the latest catalogue price in the Stanley Gibbons stamp catalogue.
