OSN #111 - Always buying and selling!
We had a strong response to our call in the last list for people who are considering selling some or all of their stamps. So in this list we repeat the call: we would love to buy your stamps! Perhaps you have a collection put together years ago that is no longer of interest, and you would like to turn it into cash to pay some bills or finance your current collecting needs. Or maybe you’ve discovered a possible rarity and want to know what it’s worth. No matter what it is, we can offer an obilgation-free and totally confidential quote on any philatelic material. And yes, we can travel for suitable lots...

9. 3d black plate proof block of 4 (ACSC 12PP(1)A). Believed to be printer’s make-ready proofs, only approximately 40 units of this item survive and generally they were poorly printed with partial voids and paper flaws common.
