Gabriele's Latest Stamp News advertisement

Do you have a collection in your bookcase which really does not grab you any more? Luckily stamps are not like clothing fashions, bell bottoms one minute and stovepipes the next, they are always of interest to someone. You could trade in your "no longer of interest" stamps and use the credit towards filling the spaces in your current passion. We feel very capable of finding good homes for all of your unloved lots - we never put any collections down! Please phone/fax/write/email Damien or myself today...

	AUSTRALIAN STAMPS
1.	2000 The Last Anzacs error this is the first modern error of colour for almost 10 years, and what a beauty! Two units of some booklets of 10 (each featuring Alec Campbell) were printed with gold omitted, while the other 8 received their colour as normal. We have previously only offered this as a full booklet (containing two error units), but we can now offer a single stamp to put in your album. This lot actually includes a normal stamp from the same booklet, still attached, so the mistake is even more apparent. Modern decimal errors are hot and this is so rare, get it now for view stamp	$499.00
