I know that most of our readers are concerned with modern issues, but I equally know that a good number collect other stamps including older GB.
As part of the Stampboards Bushfire auction I have been sent a Plate 8 1d black by a collector who is remaining anonymous. It's damaged (but of course repairable) but has a catalogue value of £525 in fine condition.

As you can see, it has margins most places, and it also has a lot of gum on the back - which could easily be cleaned off with hot water which would also improve the overall appearance. What appears to be a thin at the middle-right (from the back) edge is actually missing gum, When all the gum is off that will be just fine.
Price currently stands at AS120 (or just over £60). If you wish to own this almost fine stamp, go and bid now. The auction closes at midnight Sydney time (11 am GMT/UTC) on Sunday 1 February.
