In the 7s the average set was 3 designs, 5 stamps for Postage, 5 for Airmail and 3 for Official airmail, your prices are cheap, many of the early stamps are pushing £100 plus now.Bearhunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07196876077994083259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-7648334059243682452016-07-07T10:02:58.183-07:002016-07-07T10:02:58.183-07:00James - I agree.

There really is a big change then, mainly due to decolonization.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02867216696820987960noreply@blogger.com
