There has been some criticism of SG's marketing efforts in the UK recently. Still, the company we poised to do well given the boom of Chinese interest in philately.

Arn't both SG and SC being printed in China now? It would make sense that whichever was translated completely may have a leading edge and 25% gains could be just on printing savings alone. Either way its good news for the industry and depending on what your collecting it shows even with ebay listings on certain countries.

It's not printing costs; its SALES.

According to the article, sales were "£15m in the half-year to end-June, up 25% from £11.9m in the prior year period."

My 2011 Gibbons Part 1 was apparently printed and bound in Italy.
