The Stanley Gibbons prices do not translate to true market value; their prices seem to be more of an attempt to include the uncatalogued RSC classifications – some of which are worth a premium. Consequently, Gibbons prices will inevitably exceed current market value for a specific classification. Condition of stamp will affect the price either upwards or down. Plated material, especially the more sought-after positions, often attracts higher prices. Market influences (demand and supply) will affect the market value. Market values offered are one man’s general guideline rather than a definitive and undisputed real value. Expect updates. Input always appreciated and desired.
