“FREE Framed Penny Black”

48 Hours Only: Free Framed Penny Black if you subscribe to any of Stanley Gibbons' investment products  


If you subscribe to any of Stanley Gibbons' investment products in the next 48 hours, we will send you a FREE framed Penny Black as a memento of your investment.

I have always thought it is a shame that investors generally don’t have their rare stamp portfolio at home…

It means you don’t get to see and appreciate the beauty of your investment. The problem is the insurance cost and hassle of storing your portfolio personally.

Investors are right to choose our option of free storage and insurance for the term of their investment. It is the sensible choice.

But, I would like you to have something at home to remind you of your investment.

That’s why I decided to offer a FREE framed Penny Black to investors for the next 48 hours.

I need to limit the offer as we only have a limited supply of Penny Blacks in “fine” condition.

The minimum investment size required to qualify for this offer is £5,000.

This is what could be sitting in your office or study in the next few days…

 


This is what you will get:

A fine “used for postage” example of a Penny Black (the world’s first ever postage stamp) worth around £300
  1. Beautifully presented to look good as a display item
  2. Signed and authenticated by a Director of Stanley Gibbons
  3. A short history of the Penny Black
Who doesn't like getting something for FREE? There is no downside to FREE, just upside. Not only that, your Penny Black represents a good investment in itself…

10 years ago, we were selling them for £175. Today we sell them for near to £300. That’s an increase in value of 71% over the past 10 years – not bad.

Alternatively, you could give it to someone this year as a perfect unique Christmas present.

Consider this an early Christmas present from me.

All you need to do to claim your FREE gift is to subscribe to one of our investment products within the next 48 hours.

You can then join me in the enjoyment of looking at your investment in rare stamps every day.

One Final Twist

There is something even more special we can offer to enhance your free gift…

Each Penny Black has its own “check letters” at the bottom of the stamp. If you are willing to wait, we can try to find you a Penny Black with your own initials on (or those of a loved one).

Imagine that, your own personalised Penny Black!

If you want us to do this for you please email us with “Penny Black initials” in the subject line, telling us the initials you would like and, if possible, we will try to find that Penny Black for you.

48 hours to claim your FREE Penny Black

You can claim your free Penny Black by subscribing to any of our investment products outlined above, either:

  1. Call us on (UK only) 0845 026 7170 (Overseas) +44 1481 708 270 and our sales advisers will be happy to discuss your investment requirements.
  2. Complete the online application form by clicking on the appropriate link above.
  3. Email me at mhall@stanleygibbons.co.uk and leave me your details so that we may get back to you.

There are no hidden catches here – this is a simple and genuine promotion. You would be wise to take me up on it.

PS. The current supply squeeze in the rare stamp market bodes well for price movements in 2010. I think this is a good time to get in before prices start to react to the shortage of supply.
