Robstine Stamps- For fine used stamps

10th October 2020

I priced up a collection of Aitutaki today. There was a good selection of the earlies, although a friend is checking some of them for watermarks, shades etc before I add them to the list. The modern stamps and mini sheets covered the years 1972-86 and were almost complete.
In a spare moment, I googled Aitutaki and watched two videos of the atoll. It would be lovely to spend a couple of days there, although I do not think I would like to live there.

I have received more new issues from Ireland. These include a stamp for Liam Cosgrave, items about Father Ted, this year’s Europa issue and more from the History of Ireland in 100 Objects.

My French supplier has sent me another lot, mainly from the last five years. I have a group of good customers who collect recent France and these will fill some gaps I am sure. Still more to find but I am getting there.

I have completely renovated my stock of French imperfs. I now list various shades etc among the earliest Ceres stamps plus the imperf Napoleon III issues. Having made some recent purchases, I now have tremendous depth in some of the values.
