Having explain my requirements and showing the link to this page (which details the pane with margins all round which the operator acknowledged) I thought I had succeeded with the order. A few days later a prompt delivery of the order but only to find a block of 10 with margins on the left & bottom only! Were the other two sides removed on purpose or was another factor involved? totally puzzledAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-33151046045009185392017-02-06T11:50:12.383+00:002017-02-06T11:50:12.383+00:00Now I am not in a good mood.

In fact I visited two, and neither knew anything about it. One rang up and was told that not all post offices would be receiving it and that I should order it online. I object to this on two counts: firstly, nowhere that I have seen was this made clear and secondly I am not ordering ANYTHING online from RM given the terrible state of their systems in recent months. I also do not believe that Gibbons should be listing it, along with quite a few other items like stamp books from recent months. If RM were operating from an African or Arabian country Gibbons would have no hesitation in delisting it. To close, I believe that this is where RM and I part ways. I have been lukewarm on Machins for the last year and this just kills it dead.Mike Moodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-58772723187850121632017-02-02T19:17:44.957+00:002017-02-02T19:17:44.957+00:00I mis-read it as £19.45.

You're right, of course, even allowing for some blocks being sold, there would stubs plenty even if only 1 sheet of each exists, which is far from certain.

I'm assuming that you meant £1945 for one each of the three singles. Rounding a bit, that is about £625 for a single trial. Let's assume that the sheets are split and let's further take the risky assumption that there is only one sheet of each in private hands. That gives 100 copies of each trial. Would you really want to spend £625 for something of which 99 other copies exist? That sounds a bit on the high side to me. With 100 copies around they will be turning up in auctions for many years to come. machinmaniacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-31403184288403734132017-02-02T10:32:58.951+00:002017-02-02T10:32:58.951+00:00More or less the same size as the originals (1977)...More or less the same size as the originals (1977), so although the same width as the large stamps, not 2x the height.
