Finally got around to going through a big envelope of GB on paper and trimming off all the excess paper to reduce weight. While doing this I see there are quite a few high value multiples. Is there any market for this stuff?

Here are some examples of what is in the mix.




Including a gutter pair and the top left looks like a booklet or sheetlet trio?







Some high value Machins





The 1992 - 1995 Castles with the syncopated perfs. The 1993 Britannia 10£ cats at $12.50 in my 2009 Scott for used alone, let alone on piece.







And some postage due multiples.





This is only a portion of what I found. Would this be considered better kiloware? Or pretty common for the time frame?

If you have enough of this material to make up several lots, I would recommend splitting up the most interesting material so that there is some of it in each lot. I am referring to stuff like gutter pairs, decimal Wildings (the trio), postage dues and higher value commemoratives from the last 10 years. The castles, older commemoratives, and Machins I see here are pretty common.

Not sure about the postage dues, but this looks like run of the mill material, and, as usual with this sort of mix, knocked about in places, eg the missing corner on the £10.

My experience is that there's very little interest in QEII era British stamps, used or mint, with the following exceptions:

(1) errors and varieties: very valuable varieties continue to appear. At least check your kiloware for possible missing colours etc.
(2) high value issues
(3) regional issues (many of which are not that common)

Possible uses:
(1) top notch examples can be used to fill up an album
(2) thematic issues can be separated out (e.g., birds, transportation). Many British stamps are very good from this point of view.
(3) your postage dues are collectible and the older ones should be checked for watermarks.
