Great Britain - Channel Islands

Jersey 1/603, J1/J46 and Guernsey 1/445, J8/J41, a Channel Islands duo with a mint collection on Stanley Gibbons pages in padded burgundy binders. Both collections are mostly mint, with a touch of used (usually duplicated) material, covering 1960 to about 1990. Unusually, both albums have the pages out of order, which seems to have resulted in a bit of duplication, and makes it a bit difficult to determine completeness, but there are very few vacant spaces. All are in collector added mounts. A few of the early issues are hinged, but are otherwise unhinged, with extra material such as se-tenant pairs, booklets and mini-panes/souvenir sheets. The Jersey comes with a full run of postage dues with a total catalogue value of $455.35. Guernsey is missing the first set of postage dues and the early high value definitives re-issues with different perforations, and only the occasional stamp, catalogue value $264.90. One binder has one ring that needs straightening, the overall condition of the stamps is excellent. Total 2023 Scott US$720.25 =
