The hard work has been done for you

If you’re considering starting a rare stamp investment portfolio then you should consider this stamp.

It was issued in 1988 with a face value of 13p.

However, after the stamp had been printed, and prior to its release, the Postal Authorities changed the postal rate to 14p.

The 13p stamps were subsequently recalled and incinerated. The 14p value was then released to the public.

But a few of the 13p stamps sneaked through.

It is thought they had already been pre-packed in the 1988 Annual Year-Books that had been foil-sealed and put up for sale at Post Offices around the country.

When news of the 13p Error leaked these 1988 Year-Books sold out quickly with avid collectors trying to obtain an example of the valuable Error.

However, only 10 mint examples have ever been found.

Few people know more about modern errors than our friend Tom Pierron. In fact, Tom has written the definitive guide to modern errors.

Tom’s researched all known auctions, spoken to dealers around the world...

He has done the hard work for you.

The upshot is Tom has managed to record just 10 known mint examples of this stamp.
