The credit crunch has thrown the entire investment market into turmoil. Property no longer seems 'as safe as houses' and the stock market is demonstrating all the signs of a classic bear market. However, the GB 30 Rarities Index demonstrates there is a more secure and potentially lucrative alternative investment opportunity in the form of rare stamps.

The Index, now in its 10th year, is produced by Stanley Gibbons, a household name in philately and collectibles.

Despite the global credit crunch, the GB 30 Rarities Index shows stamps have increased in value by 38.6% in the last year alone (2007: 10%) and the Index shows no sign of slowing.

Rare stamps from Great Britain have significantly outperformed run of the mill investments. One stamp sold in 2004 had increased in value from £65,000 to £125,000 - a 92% increase in just three years!

just one
stamp...”
what stamp would it be?

Investment Director
Adrian Roose tackles the impossible Question.

I’m often asked this question. “If you could buy just one stamp which would it be?”
Well... If you are looking for a single rare stamp to invest in then consider this item. It’s returned almost 7.2% per annum
over the last 10 years. There’s no reason to suspect it won’t offer the same returns
over the next 10 years.
I’ve long been fascinated with the Great Britain SG121.
When I first joined Stanley Gibbons 14 years ago I followed the company training programme, working in different departments building up my knowledge. I sat with the reference collection to study shade differences. I swotted up, reading reference books. One of the first reference books I read
was an invaluable little book stating how many of each Great Britain stamp had been printed. It was worn and many pages were torn but in a supply and demand driven market the information it held was like the Holy Grail to me.


And one stamp always stood out. The Great Britain SG121.
It had, by far, the lowest print run of any Queen Victoria British stamp. Yet it wasn’t the most expensive. Far from it, it looked distinctly undervalued.
I’ve watched over the years as this stamp has become more appreciated amongst collectors. They are beginning to realise how few of these stamps are available in top quality mint condition. The Catalogue price is up from £7,500 to £20,000 in 10 years. A 166% increase
in Catalogue prices.

If you’d bought the SG121 from us 10 years ago you wouldn’t be taking the guaranteed minimum return of a 60% capital gain on your original investment.

Report from the CEO

After reading this amazing information from the CEO, you can request your free Guide to this fabulous investment opportunity. Please remember that the guaranteed minimum return contacts are strictly limited and can be withdrawn at any time without notice for new investors. So you must act quickly to reserve your guaranteed allocation.

Michael Hall, Chief Executive of Stanley Gibbons said, "Over the past year, like most people, I have watched my traditional investments in property and the stock market destroy my wealth. Fortunately, I can take some solace from the fact that I have protected some of my wealth from the current economic meltdown. My investments in rare stamps have continued to show above average compound returns and I am sure will provide an excellent family heirloom to my descendants.

"Not only that, historically rare stamps have increased the most in periods of high inflation. The last period of high inflation in the UK was in the late '70s. Rare stamps increased by 698% during that period. So, not only does investing in rare stamps provide diversification and security it also provides a hedge against inflation."
