Own the WORLD'S FIRST EVER Postage Stamp - the Penny Black

Of all the postage stamps ever issued, there is a stamp that every knowledgeable collector recognises as the cornerstone of philately. The World's First Postage Stamp - Great Britain's Penny Black. 

An icon of British history, it was this stamp that marks the beginning of the postal era that followed. It is one of Britain's most famous and most reproduced inventions of all time!

Limited numbers available

However, the Penny Black was only issued for 9 months and is now 185 years old! So understandably they're now extremely difficult to source at a reasonable price for collectors.

Especially when you consider that in recent years the growing Chinese stamp market has been absorbing historic British stamps by the thousands into private collections. 

And as the Penny Black becomes increasingly scarcer, it is becoming more sought-after and collectible.
