About Us

In October this year I will celebrate ten years in the stamp trade. It has been a real voyage of discovery for me. I have probably learnt more about the world around me, through stamps, than I ever did at school, college or university.

I started as a self-employed dealer, specialising in South Africa, selling my stamps through mail order price lists. Eighteen months after starting, I was invited to work part-time in the Enfield Stamp Centre where I would learn more about general philately and how to buy and sell. I still refer to my four happy years there as being at “Stamp University.” I still carried on with my retail lists, as well as attending stamp fairs and going on buying trips to South Africa. A further year being self-employed proved to be too much of a financial struggle, so I had a slight change of career.

In 2004 I started as an auction describer for a large philatelic auctioneers. It was quite a change, not being involved in direct selling. Although learning to write descriptions for auction lots was a real challenge, I was able to work on a very wide range of material, from Penny Blacks and worldwide classics to modern topicals, covers and even untidy box lots.

I changed job in mid 2007, working for a dynamic and internet based stamp dealing company in the UK.

Now in my tenth year I have decided to relaunch my price lists online. The format is simple with standard price lists alongside specialist items for sale. I am very excited to be doing what I do best, selling the stamps I enjoy so much and in turn helping you form satisfying and attractive collections.
