A Stanley Gibbons c.1980 4-ring album which is near its capacity, holding pages up to 1977 and housing a good little collection of mostly used stamps, starting with a hit or miss selection of Queen Victoria stamps, with denominations to 2/6 and catalogue values to $500.00 each. The King Edward VII issues include a complete basic definitive set. The King George V includes Seahorses up to 5/- and there is more complete than incomplete for the King George VI to mid-Elizabethan range (many of the 1970s issues are mint). Although collected by Gibbons, the collector went through and penciled in Scott numbers and catalogue values underneath each stamp (we checked a couple, and they seem accurate and relatively recent). The owner’s catalogue value was US$3779.35, which is likely a little low by today’s catalogue, but a couple of damaged items were counted that probably shouldn’t have been. On balance, it feels like a reasonable representation of the current catalogue value. Estimate =
