Very interesting. I started collecting in 1972 (7 1/2 /8 years). I now collect China and Hong Kong. Hong Kong from 1862 to 1905: queens and kings. China: whatever is pre-1900. I have after 1997, but that is what I focus my collections on. Thank you for your videos. They always fascinate me.

Nice story. I wonder if I would notice coming across one of these missing ones.... I only collect Europe, so maybe the Ionian ones ;-)

Modern day translation: "Hello, I collect money. Can I have some free money?" "Sure kind Sir, with pleasure!"

When I am looking through Commonwealth early issues, I am always hoping, that they will be Wmk. Crown & CC, rather than CA.

This is really a fascinating story. I tried to find the book "Cancelled by Perkins Bacon by Peter Jaffe" to read the full response from Mr. J. Bacon but my effort was in vain. Can anyone share the content of the full response from Mr. J Bacon to O. Hill? Much appreciate your help...

You are stepping into dangerous territory here! The words "Scandal" and "Stanley Gibbons" immediately remind me of a scam the company was involved in ... though many years ago now ...
