It seems to me that in a post of a few weeks ago someone said that the main reason that SG was so different was because it was an order catalog. Does that mean that if there was a certain stamp I really wanted I could just e-mail them, tell them the stamp I needed, they would bill me and I would just have to pay and wait for the stamp to arrive? Is this accurate and, if it is, has any one of you ever tried it? There is a Russian stamp or two I would love to have and since I have the Russia SG Part 10 there should be no problem. Their prices seem a bit high, but is that because you can order from them?

re: Question about Stanley Gibbons

Thanks Ian, not sure if I want to try it, but there is one Russian stamp that tempts me, at least enough to get a quote. The stamp is Russia Scott #AR6 or SG #202a. I'll probably wait until my PayPal account gets pumped up at the end of the month and then give it a go. I'll report how it goes! By the way, the time difference between Atlantic Time and GMT is, I believe, 4 hours. I assume that, with the scarcity of some stamps, they don't always have what you want.

I would be surprised if they didn't have it. The only problem may be the price because they do charge full catalogue price most of the time. They also hold some auctions throughout the year.

Have a look at this site:-

They may not have the stamp you are looking for. I've dealt with them in the past and never had a problem.
