I Have Not Mentioned My Stamp Collection Lately,

so here is just a small mention,

 I had just successfully bidded on a stamp which in the Stanley Gibbon stamp numbering system, is SG214, it is a 1/- Queen Victorian red and green postage stamp, which was unmounted mint, meaning it had not been used and was never stuck in an album with a stamp hinge, the picture is the actual stamp taken from the ebay page, the price of these has been creeping up, I was lucky and outbid the competition at £46.10,

also taken from an ebay page, at the same time this one's auction was nearly ended, but it was slightly different from mine, firstly it was used and had a 'Halifax Cricket Ground' 1902 c.d.s. (circular date stamp) on the 1/- (SG 214), but the second difference was that the stamp was the very scarce M516, not the standard SG 214, and the difference is? well as I type this there is still 12 hours to go on the auction, there has been 29 bids so far on this stamp, the price is £1,555.00, and rising, the devil is in the details!
