A quirkily mounted collection of decimal-era Guernsey, Isle of Man and Jersey covering up to 1996. Fairly complete for the stamps, but with many of the souvenir sheets missing. What makes the mounting "quirky"? The collector took clear mounts and often mounted them with hinges! If there was a used copy of a stamp, it was often slipped into the back of the mount, backed onto its mint counterpart. We didn’t count any of the used stamps in the collection’s value and it doesn’t appear that any of the mounting has caused any harm. The "Guernsey" has a face value of GBP133.00, "IOM" GBP153.00 and "Jersey" GBP150.00. Conservatively valued at the face value only. A total of GBP436.00 =
