General - Thematics CC
LOADED with several hundred mainly different Miniature Sheets, this Stockbook reminds me of when we started TUT … which must now be some 7 years and nudging £1 MILLION pounds worth of sales to collectors ago! Thanks to collectors like you Top-UpTwenty (TUT) is incredibly successful: Some of the very 1st TUT lots sold comprised thematics … I thought they may stumble … but they all flew. Here we present a similar blend of thematics… but this time ALL/Any subjects and though mainly mint with mainly modest/light duplication, some used souvenir sheets intervene. Very Colourful, distinct potential for resale here … and probably substantial original cost. Some faults - but generally clean and attractive. Probably in excess of 300 items with good resale potential. I doubt we may experience similar for some years to come. (One large Stockbook). HEAVY LOT - OVERSEAS SHIPPING SURCHARGE APPLIES
