Very warm greetings to all our French Colony collectors far and wide. Thanks for tuning in to our website again.
We’ll be posting off the July/August stocklists during the next few days and hope you’ll find it of interest. Notably you will find the new price reductions that we have made to the high value stamps and some additional extraneous odd things at the back of the book. These will include a few colourful collections that we have found or put together for your interest.
From the good response we receive from our website and advertising etc French Colonies remain extremely popular. The mid-century long sets are ever in demand particularly those elusive odd values here and there which, although not catalogued very much, can be so difficult to find. So it is surprising that Stanley Gibbons haven’t produced an updated French Colonies catalogue since 2016. ‘Nuff said! I think they need another reminder…
Our large consignment of material from overseas unfortunately got delayed due to the ineptitude of the carriers. Their 3 letter name begins with U and ends with S and this is the second time they have made a mess of things. So a new carrier has taken over and with luck we shall have them within a week.
This week it’s like the Costa del Sol down here with this heatwave. It’s good to see the beaches and sea crowded with hardy bathers almost as they were in the 50’s/60’s before the rush to the continental resorts.
Take care all and enjoy the warm weather and more importantly, our new stocklist of course.
Terry Garcia.
