So another different item I found in the bottom of a bin of stamps.
Easily identified the stamps but then comes the question of is it better to save them on the parcel post sticker or soak them off?
My collection is 99+% individual stamps so items like this don't fit the theme. But I also don't want to accidentally reduce the value of something either.
Your thoughts, comments greatly appreciated.

Any time a stamp is removed from a piece it is loosing value. Especially something this old,

Thank you. These are the things that I have no idea about and just shows how much I have to learn.
So based on your opinions I put it under plastic and added it to my main GB album. Photo attached.
Have a wonderful day.

Lovely collection of Parcel Post Stamps !
Fabulous.
Well done you for asking the question first.

Your question appeared to me to be like saying "Should I cut this Picasso painting from the frame? or leave it as is"

I'm chuckling away at this comment....Too funny. Yep I have lots to learn but I sure am glad I had somewhere to turn to ask the question.

This group is a fantastic resource.

As a side note, the series featuring those particular stamps are known to have 'fugitive ink' and would probably fade away, becoming severely damaged if you tried soaking them off the tag. Definitely better left in place.
