The stamp sheets give the discerning collector access to all the printer’s marks and any additional information on the selvedges. The selvedges include the traffic lights which is a term used by collectors to denote the check dots (or colour dabs) printed in the sheet margins of stamps printed by modern offset litho or photogravure methods. They assist in checking that all the colours have printed correctly.
Most of our selvedge sheets also contain a plate number; a numeral, occasionally with a letter suffix, usually inscribed on the sheet margins to denote the plate from which the stamps were printed - for example 1A. All of our mint/cto products are carefully prepared by our own team and supplied in glassine bags to ensure you receive them in pristine condition.

Additional Information
Issued on Tuesday 28 January 2025, 100 Years of Gerald Durrell: Conservation celebrates the remarkable conservation initiatives of Gerald Durrell, honouring 100 years since his birth in 1925.
Gerald Durrell was an exceptional conservationist, and it is thanks to his love and care for the natural world that many of the species in this issue have been preserved. In his 1972 book “Catch Me a Colobus”, Gerald noted: “Remember that the animals and plants have no M.P. they can write to; they can’t perform sit-down strikes or, indeed, strikes of any sort; they have nobody to speak for them except us, the human beings who share the world with them but do not own it.”
