Royal Mail Special Stamps 23 (2006). New Box Format. Stamp FV £72++ Ltd.. Royal Mail Special Stamps Yearbook for 2006 issue 23.
This issue comes in a boxed style cover which is referenced on the front...'a boxful...', not a slip cover and the album is a beautiful blue. The box has bright pink lettering over blue writing (matching the yearbook) on a white background. It's very striking. The yearbook cover is embossed and textured - it feels truly lovely.
Note - these albums with the stamps will go up in price year on year as the 1st and 2nd class stamp values rise - this is reflected in their catalogue prices and will be reflected on the market as they get more and more scarce - many albums have had their stamps used.

Guidance :
- Postage: at Royal Mail and eBay postal charges only (see Royal Mail and eBay website) - I charge at cost price (or less) , estimated using my kitchen scales (!) so if on the rare occasion there is an over-charge, I always refund the difference - you can be assured you are in safe hands. I always offer postage discounts for multiple purchases, so please contact me. If you would like another postal service e.g. Second Class or Collect+, please ask. I do make a small charge to cover the outrageous ebay charge on commission on postage, but I do not believe in making a profit on P&P.
- Packaging is free: I 'recycle' with used packaging, so saving you money and helping the environment. All items are carefully wrapped and well packaged - please see my feedback.
- International customers are welcome. I am a member of the eBay International Postage Service and use this to post items abroad so we are all supported and protected. Please see eBay policy.
- Proof of Postage: I always obtain a proof of posting.
- Collection: you are welcome to collect from (near) Great Grimsby.
- Description: I try to detail the items as best as I can and provide photographs as part of the description - if you would like more information, please ask - I am not scary, I work hard to please my buyers and will do all I can to help. Message me and I will always do the best possible.
- Used washable clothes are freshly laundered in non-bio and items are from a clean, smoke-free home
Good luck with your ebaying!
Thank you.
