Our sets are supplied in a robust glassine bag. You may decide to place the stamps in a special album in order to preserve their mint condition (see Albums and Binders section).

If you’re a new stamp collector we would recommend you pause and make a few decisions which will help if you decide later to collect seriously.
Mint stamps (otherwise known as unused) have never been cancelled or affixed to anything. They will be in the same pristine condition as they were when they left the printer. CTO stamps (cancelled to order) have been cancelled (otherwise known as used). When a stamp goes through the mail, a cancellation mark is printed on it in indelible ink, which cannot be removed. We can provide your set of stamps CTO if you indicate this when ordering.
