The Great Britain

Rare Stamp Fund

The first of its kind, the GB Rare Stamp Fund presents an unprecedented opportunity for investors. It provides structured, regulated access to one of the most impressive prestige collectible markets in the world – a market which has stood the test of time and continues to show compelling and consistent growth. Thanks to the world-renowned expertise of Fund Manager, Stanley Gibbons, the authority on rare stamps since 1856 and holder of the Royal Warrant for services to philately since 1914, an exceptional array of fund assets has already been secured. Many of these graced some of the finest Grand Prix winning collections ever formed and others were previously part of the Royal collection of Queen Elizabeth II. The £50 million’s worth (US$78m) of philatelic treasures are entirely from Great Britain; Britain was the first country in the world to issue pre-paid postage stamps in May 1840, heralding a communication and commercial revolution in the United Kingdom and across the ‘British Empire’ as was (today’s Commonwealth). The remarkable collection showcases the development from the world’s first stamp, the Penny Black through to exceptional modern rarities. They range from 1838 to the late 1990's and have been selected for rarity, desirability and the finest quality available. Their span through all British monarchs from Queen Victoria to present day is specifically designed to optimise diversification and ultimately liquidity. Many of the stamps selected feature in Stanley Gibbons indices, the GB30 Rarities and GB250, listed on the Bloomberg Professional Service and which have shown 9.6% and 12.6% compound annual growth respectively for more than a decade.

Selected rarities from the Fund are included in this brochure, designed to provide an insight into the depth and breadth of this remarkable collection, now available for structured investment for the very first time. The majority of the value is naturally in the early 1840 Queen Victoria stamps, including varieties of the world’s first and most iconic stamp, the Penny (1d) Black – but also its ‘sister’ stamp and its successor, the Two-Penny (2d) Blue and the Penny (1d) Red. However, the selection opens with a superb stamp that is not a stamp, but a ‘Treasury Essay’ - actually one of the proposed designs for the first stamp, submitted by postal reformer James Chalmers in 1839. This is a wonderful and unique piece of history and is one of two Essays included. The Essays, of course, were the precursor to the world-famous Penny Black, invented by Rowland Hill and released to postmasters in April 1840. The first Penny Black was issued and posted in May 1840 and although 68 million were eventually printed to facilitate Queen Victoria’s communication revolution, true rarity and value lie in ‘mint condition’ (unused) and multiple stamps (blocks, strips) - along with a series of philatelic nuances such as how the stamps were centred when they were cut, whether they retain their original gum, the condition and even the postmark or ‘cancellation.’ Much like fine wine, where micro-climate, soil type, slope, vintage and winemaker can make all the difference to valueattribution, it is the variety and richness of the nuances that make rare stamps such a precious and vibrant commodity – and it takes generations of expertise and insight, as found at Stanley Gibbons, to be able to negotiate the market effectively.

In addition to a magnificent and varied selection of Penny Blacks, this historic collection includes a wide range of highly sought-after rarities from across the reigns of all British monarchs since Queen Victoria, creating as much diversity as possible and showing a remarkable philatelic denouement. Highlights include:

•

The Master ‘Die Proof ’ (a printed image pulled directly from the master die for an engraved stamp) for the 1d Black, irrefutably the most important postage stamp proof in existence (p 7).

•

A superb example of the 1840 2d Blue (Two Penny); a mint condition horizontal pair still as fresh and rich in colour as the day it was printed (p 12).

•

An 1840 1d ‘Mulready’ (designed envelope) sent from Vera Cruz, Mexico to Liverpool via New York. This famous Mulready remains the sole recorded example posted to the UK from outside Europe (p 9).

•

One of the few, surviving 1910 2d ‘Tyrian Plum’ stamps; a famous stamp withdrawn before issue due to the death of King Edward VII. This is a magnificent unused example with superb bright colour and its original gum (p 17).

•

A 1912 10 Shilling (10s) ‘Seahorse’ Die proof. An exceptional proof and a great ‘Seahorse’ rarity (p 18).

THE ROYAL WARRANT In July 1914 Stanley Gibbons Ltd proudly announced it had been granted a Royal Warrant and could henceforward display the Royal Arms with the legend ‘By Appointment Philatelists to H.M. the King’. We noted ‘This is the first time that any firm of Stamp Dealers or Philatelic Publishers has ever received this much coveted honour’. The granting of this privilege coincided with King George V’s development from enthusiastic collector to exceptionally knowledgeable philatelist; stamps were his passion. Stanley Gibbons was privileged to mark the centenary of that grant last year, succeeded by Royal Warrants from H.M. King George VI in 1940 and H.M. the Queen in 1956 and continuously renewed since then. Although there are some 800 holders of Royal Warrants (awarded to ‘tradesmen’ supplying goods or services to the Royal Household), it is rare for any firm to reach such a milestone. This royal seal of approval confers the obligation to set the highest standards of integrity in all our activities.
