The latest sale at The Tamworth Auction Rooms saw a collection of Great Britain stamps sell for £1,300 on behalf of a Tamworth vendor.

Two other collections of GB philately made £400 each, with world stamps also proving popular with buyers.

“Our auctions are joined by online bidders from all across the globe as well as local people bidding live in the room,” said Ben Winterton.

“The auction market is certainly buoyant at the moment so, if you’re sorting through the loft during the extended Jubilee bank holiday and stumble across a stamp collection or something else interesting, give us a call and we’ll be happy to help investigate.”
