Minor wrinking, trimmed selvedge S.E. David Brandon, Philatelic Expert of Brandon Galleries presently offers the left-hand side of this remarkable sheet described as UNIQUE and Magnificent. A REMARKABLE SHOWPIECE. Brandon also offers an u.m. single at £275. Upon the single selling price alone the x30 stamps command a retail value of up to GBP£8,250=. Recognising the rarity but also presumably the intent to keep his half sheet intact rather than be broken down for a premium price Brandon Galleries offers their complete left half sheet of x30 stamps for a more reasonable GBP£6,600=. There's no better provenance than to view the matching sheet on-line now. TUT offers the matching sheet number 431 sheet at £5,950= reducing but with price-stop, how far will this drop. RARE RARE RARE (1 half sheet 30v.) If you are a serious collector of Nyasaland this opportunity will only come by once. Seize it?
