Certainly most Machin collectors go for 6s, although you could save money as blocks of 4 will do nicely for self adhesives.<br /><br />And for the Olympics a block of 4 gives you two pairs of stamps. Royal Mail's default for these seems to be vertical pairs - though everybody knows that horizontal pairs are easier to put in albums. And on that basis a block of 6 would contain 2 vertical pairs and 2 odd singles! <br /><br />Don't forget that there are two different cylinder blocks (however you collect them) for the 20g Worldwide. A friend who gets them from Tallents House was sent two the same.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-67481800573205575842012-01-07T10:57:03.700+00:002012-01-07T10:57:03.700+00:00Yep, here in south-west Scotland, too, only the sh...Yep, here in south-west Scotland, too, only the sheet stamps available. Will try and find booklets in other p.o.'s today.<br />Just wondering about the sheet stamps: what is the standard cylinder block size nowadays, with the self-adhesives? Is it still blocks of six?Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745769665637978663noreply@blogger.com
