A question..... buying stamps when they are issued
Hi,
My daughter is collecting Disney stamps and is interested in having them sent to her as they are issued. Is there some easy way to do this? How much of a premium would you have to pay for such a service? Any help is appreciated. btw clicking reply won't work so I'll only see replies to the group. -- Steve Frazer http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steve_frazer/index.html (updated Jan 31 '05) |

You can increase the likelihood of picking most of them up by subscribing to a new issue service, some of which will send out stamps conforming to particular themes as well as those from countries required by the subscriber. The only new issue service that I am acquainted with in the UK is Benhams of Folkestone, and you can do no harm to contact them on 01303 226777. Expect to pay about twice face value, with a minimum price usually applying to low value items. Best regards, Roger |

Interesting to note, after two years of buying odd lots of "phossick boxes" at auctions, I have yet to meet with one solitary single Disney Stamp in my purchases. I do remember 1 dedicated lot of packaged Disney being offered at auction, it failed to get a bid, the reserve was about $1 a stamp IIRC, ($15 a packet) What I would do, is attend your next local Stamp Fair, there are always (here, at least) dealers who specialise in Topicals (Thematics) and Disney appears prominent. Take along your daughter, she will love it, (not so for your wallet | Hi, | My daughter is collecting Disney stamps and is interested in having them | sent to her as they are issued.

And my daughter's even selling her spare Disney sets on there, not bad for an 11 year old! I'll certainly compare prices at a Stamp Fair but those US prices are very reasonable, more like $1 a set than $1 a stamp. -- Steve Frazer http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steve_frazer/index.html (updated Jan 31 '05) |

My stamp dealer has told me that Disney has withdrawn their
permission/license (or whatever it may be called) so that no new stamps will be issued. I don't know if that information is correct, perhaps you should check it out.
