Want to start a mint NH well centered collection from 1910-2020 of Great Britain.

Are there dealers in the US who,sell year sets or whatever is the most complete way to collect Great Britain akin to using Bardo for US in America .

Most dealers are in the UK naturally..... is there. Solution ?

PS what is the best UK hingeless album brand ? I like Lighthouse's albums but even on discount are almost $3,000

I recall Jet stamps as being GB specialists, but have never dealt with them.

The best British and Empire/Commonwealth albums are made by Gibbons, and contain catalogue numbers. Scroll down the attached

You could try Dauwalders for stamps (they also sell albums). I buy supplies from them, not stamps, however!

I haven't bought many stamps from Rushstamps, but those I bought from them were quite good quality. I am not sure I would buy pre-1935 from them, but most commemoratives are not too big a gamble.

http://www.rushstamps.co.uk/.

You will find complete year units on page 137 of the Rush Express 76 folder.

As for stamp albums, I think GeoffHa already wrote it. If, however, you consider the Stanley Gibbons albums on pages 28/29 of that leaflet, look also at DAVO. Those particular Stanley Gibbons albums are DAVO albums with "Stanley Gibbons" on the spine. In my experience, they are cheaper as DAVO than as Stanley Gibbons. It is a basic album.

Pre WW2 MNH/MUH stamps is a potential minefield.

Be sure you're buying from a reputable source.
