VERY RARE PRICED TO SELL Cilicia French Occupation 1920 O.M.F. Opts MINT Stamps For Sale

Important Information

These Stamps have been kept in a locked safe since somewhere between 1966 to 1970. They were the property of an extremely well known Northern Suburbs NSW Stamp club that closed down. The Stamp Club recreated itself in a different part of NSW & about 15 years ago decided to sale the contents of that safe. I was the lucky winning buyer and this became easily the largest investment I had ever made in the world of stamps. The great thing about these and all the others I will be saleing from this sale win, is that the stamps have gone through a vigorous process of authentication. Firstly, the staff officials of the business authenticate each stamp... giving them their Stanley Gibbons identification numbers, along with respective prices exclusively for their membership. These stamps were then placed in books which were then circulated via post to one club member at a time.... that member would then upon choosing a stamp to purchase, remove it & sign in the now empty space, and include a cheque made out to the club upon the books return. The book would then be sent out to the next club member waiting in line. In this process stamps became authenticated not merely by stamp club officials, but also by their entire club membership!!!!!!

PERSONAL INFORMATIONHi, my name is Henry Butler and i have been selling rare vinyl on under the name balmain_tiggy for over 10 years now. When I was 12 my mother took me to my first sale in Northamptonshire, England. Mum loved buying collectables and at this sale I purchased my first stamp collection!

I am 59 years of age now, and since inheriting Dad\'s amazing stamp & FDC collection, along with Mum\'s beyond amazing jewellery, have been preparing to sell my own stamp collection as well as items from their collections on whilst maintaining my daily vinyl updates on balmain_tiggy .
