Thanks for that sage advice David, the stamps
were on Minkus pages, and I thought that the correct option,
had they been loose in a stock book, I may have chosen differently.
Western Australia:
Perth Red Cross Stamp shop, selling donated stamps,
the common, definitives and badly cancelled (All AUD) 15 cents each.
Other generally 20c-40c and above.
My stamp club, I was given 3 stock books of Romania
of which I took 1,052 stamps @ 5c each
Circuit sheets: common are 5c each with varying other prices
generally 25% - 40% of catalogue, for the rarer species.
Swings and roundabouts, I was offered that minisheet I just posted
for $5 when its cat id GBP2, I took it because I get alot of
others from the vendor at 5c.
I find personally, to collect the CTO's to head the collection
towards completion, and replace with mint as they become available which isn't that often.
If you collect Romania, a little bit of info:
Watch for the fiscally cancelled,
one generally finds hundreds of cancels "MANDATE"
these were stamps struck on Domestic Money Orders.
