Slania's 1000th engraved stamp is from Sweden, check this country to add easily half of the stamps he ever engraved.

I recently purchased the year 2000 presentation folder of Slania 1000th Stamp issue. Scott #2374. For his thousandth stamp, Slania engraved a stamp for Sweden that would also supposedly be the largest regular postal stamp in the world (note: not sure about this). The stamp design is the center of the David Kloker Ehrenstral ceiling painting "Great Deeds by Swedish Kings" (note: wonder what great deeds they did, besides constant warfare). The blackprint (see source link below, for more info on blackprints) of this issue was only offered in a folder / pack that also contains the mint stamp (souvenir sheet) and the official first day cover. The pack bears a portrait of Slania and an image of a larger area of the ceiling painting.

I took out my Slanias collection the other day; the first time in a long time. I noted a number of gaps, of what I think may be very affordable stamps from a multitude of different countries. I decided to make an effort to fill in some of those empty spaces. I subsequently looked at Ebay and Hipstamp, but found limited listings and for what I thought were inflated prices.
Can anyone recommend a reputable dealer, or other source that specializes in or carries a reasonable selection of Slanias stamps?
