For Sale: stamps
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 9:46 pm
On eBay.co.uk now are 4 A4 pages of Dartmoor Letterbox stamps for sale.
The description states:
Obsolete Dartmoor letterbox stamps / from the 1990's some rare complete sets including Pilgrim on the Maltern way, The Runnage to Widecombe and The Halter path plus two sides of the best excellent hand cut stamps and some more general sets 4 Full A4 Card pages plus 1 card with one stamp completing a set in plastic sleeves.
All stamps were word of mouth and stamped in various colours on plain postcard which have been cut and mounted onto A4 sheets and placed in plastic sleeves. Your opportunity to own copies of some of the best Dartmoor letter box sets put out. I WILL BE SELLING OFF MANY MORE OF THESE PAGES OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS INCLUDING MANY PAGES OF CUT HILL STAMPS COLLECTED DURING THE 1980'S TO EARLY 2000'S
All in all, this is a little disheartening (and I'm not just talking about the lack of full-stops). You can do what you like with your woven patches, but selling inky shapes on paper - no matter how 'rare' they are - really?!?
If you MUST buy these in order to claim your 100 club membership - SHAME ON YOU!
