Website

The aim of this website is to be an on-line resource for those who are interested in collecting GB stamps, especially those from the modern (QEII on) eras. It is not meant to be a reference and the site does not document all items and varieties. It started out as a way to catalogue my own collection and to a large extent that is what is shown, although it has grown well beyond that.
It will remain free and ad-free.

Still looking for ...

The following is an incomplete list of items I am still looking for.
If you have or seen them, please get in touch.

  • The four 2012 Olympic Torch Relay Cachet covers.
  • Any Royal Mail catalogues or leaflets not listed in the publications section.
  • Pillar to Post Ingot covers
  • Any recent (2010-) posters not listed in the posters section.
  • The Railway Heritage Portfolio Vol. Two.
  • The Kings and Queens prestige medal covers.

Buying And Selling Stamps

I am not a stamp dealer and do not buy or sell stamps through this site.

CollectGBStamps and Royal Mail

This site is my personal site and is not part of The Royal Mail. If you have queries regarding your subscriptions with Royal Mail Philatelic services you should contact Royal Mail at Tallents House.

If you would ike to receive new stamps with each new issue I would recommend taking out a subscription with Royal Mail.

I would just like say that I am very grateful to the Royal Mail for allowing the site to use the images of the stamps online.
