Extensive Mint British Commonwealth Collection in Three New Age Stanley Gibbons Albums, 1953 to 1965, a lovely and fresh collection undoubtedly purchased as new issues and well preserved since, with bright colours. Close to complete, virtually all in complete sets (for example, out of 37 sets cataloguing over $100, one set is missing a low value and another a mid value). The high values are usually NH and in protective mounts and the rest are hinged with high quality hinges that leave almost no trace when removed. A very nice collection which contains too many good items to describe here, have a look at our many photographs for an idea. The catalogue value given is from 12 years ago, so should now be higher. A wonderful opportunity for collectors, or dealers needing new, good quality stock.
