Now there will be the equivalent new rate stamp (£1.28) PLUS the 40g stamp at £1.90 to compensate!<br /><br />Admittedly, the 4 stamps in the miniature sheet are now all 1st class instead of 1st, 68, 76 & £1 but if RM had really wanted to be reasonable, surely the mini sheet could have been scrapped altogether?Robertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322543472485475876.post-33905778369018695122012-05-18T04:01:32.866-12:002012-05-18T04:01:32.866-12:00Collect what you can afford, simple!

Makes some sense however to collect stuff that is part of the genuine business - and regrettably the MBIL etc stuff is part of that. Also makes sense to change back from the 1st class gold - which was to celebrate he golden jubilee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
