Wishing all our Wesbite / Ebay customers and in person customers, who attend our Orpington stamp fair, a peaceful and Happy Christmas and all the best                                                                                                                                               for a good New Year.

A big thank you to everyone who attended our stamp fair on Saturday 16th November and supported both our cake sale, raising money for Children In Need/Pudsey Bear and also our raffle, which raised money for Christ Lutheran Church, whose hall we use for our fairs. Totals will be announced once the pennies have been counted.

We are proud to announce that we have been presented with our 15 year membership badge in Autumn 2024, by the Philatelic Traders Society (PTS).

Website auction news.

Our January auction lots will be uploaded to the website shortly.

Ebay seller news.

Ebay selling limits for our account, have been decreased significantly (as of 1st November 2024) and insertion fees will be incurred for many of our items. As the majority of our items start from £1, we will be utilising the Buy it now section of our website more, to make this more cost effective for us and to keep our selling prices low for you.

We currently have a lovely selection of stamps with interesting postmarks – some of these can be seen under our featured items.

Simon Goldblatt QC (Dec’d) estate

Since late 2022, we have made a very slow start in sorting out the enormous range of material that belonged to Simon Goldblatt QC. The contents of his flat have filled two storage units and our office and it will take many years of patient reviewing of several million stamps and philatelic material to be able to present these at auction. However, we have made a start and each of our auctions in the future will contain a greater proportion of his collection.

Orpington stamp and postcard fair (with online website auction)

KJ Stamps also attend and run the Orpington Stamp and postcard fair in Kent.
