Website

The aim of this website is to be an on-line resource for those who are interested in collecting GB stamps. It started out as a way to catalogue my own collection and to a large extent that is what is shown, although it has grown well beyond that.

Still to do

The site is far from complete. I still intend to add more booklets, postal stationery, prestige book panes and better coverage of commemorative and smiler sheets. If you have any suggestions for new content, please email suggestions@collectgbstamps.co.uk.




Buying And Selling Stamps

I am not a stamp dealer and do not buy or sell stamps through this site.

CollectGBStamps and Royal Mail

If you would ike to receive new stamps with each new issue I would recommend taking out a subscription with Royal Mail.

I would just like say that I am very grateful to the Royal Mail for allowing the site to use the images of the stamps online.
