Long time collector new to Stamp Bears

[Machin]

Hi all long time collector and stumbled across this site purely by chance, collect only GB Mint 99.9% these include the following: -

Commemorative
Prestige books, also special edition Prestige

Miniature sheets

Machin's Inc regionals, and other Machin related mint stamps or prepaid envelopes
Gutter pairs

TL gutter pairs

Cylinder blocks

Full sheet miniature blocks

Framas

Post and Go

A few odd coin covers with stamps

Postal oddments

Post office training stamps POTS

Errors and varieties mint

And anything else GB mint I can add to the collection

I don't collect every month sometimes it's years before I add anything into the collection, I'm just about a month away from sorting Machin stamps I've had for about 15 years and got hundred of Wildings to do next.
Will look forwards to reading posts and if I can help with any Machin related issues I'll chip in.

Welcome to Stamp Bears! Glad you could join, and looking forward to reading your posts and seeing pics of your stamps!

I don't see many UK POTS, so if you have some pics of those all ready, please start a new thread and show them to us.

No problem I'll dig them out tomorrow as currently at work, fortunately I have a lot of downtime at work which lets me sort through Machin's

Hello and welcome. Royal Mail have made me cry this morning.... because I'm a stamp user. Price rise announced for 3rd April, day before the King's definitives come out.

Are you familiar with Norvic Philatelics? Blog & shop? They are looking to get rid of a lot of Machin stamps, and have already sent in for swap some of them.

Thanks for the info Fairy Foot unfortunately I’ve reached my stamp spend for the next couple of months, but I’ve just exchanged with the swap out £1000 of surplus Machins, it took a few weeks now trying to flog off the stamps to the works office 🤣

You're not spending enough if you only exhausted your stamp spending for the next couple of months. I've exceeded my budget through 2032 (or is it now through 2033?). If the governments can run a deficit, why can't I?

Howdy!
