Great Britain Substantial Collection Balance. In a Stanley Gibbons album and a stockbook, the album goes to 1967, over 35 Penny Blacks including two that appear unused, two pairs, and nine covers, some varieties, such as an inverted watermark and one with a scarce Plymouth Maltese Cross cancel, other Line-Engraved similarly collected, with unused, used, multiples, such as original-gum strip of four of 18412p Blue (cut in at top), cancels (including 1844-type cancel on 1840 2p Blue) and varieties, the Surface Printing issues are strong, with many unused stamps cataloguing hundreds or thousands of pounds each, plus used Shilling and Pound high values (two copies of the1882-82 £1 value), later Queen Victoria high values, King Edward VII complete unused including both shades of the £1, and a useful array of later issues, also Postage Dues and Officials (a couple with certificates), the stockbook also contains better items, including several multiples and duplicated issues, particularly used high values of the late Queen Victoria issues and King Edward VII, early issues in mixed quality as one would expect, though many were bought at auction or retail individually and are in better quality than often found, the total catalogue value must be enormous, and the resale potential is also quite high
