I have a set of Royal mail mint stamps celebrating 50 years of jet travel. They consist of:
2nd class A340
1st class Concorde
45p VC10
“E” grade Trident
65p Comet
They are cept in a matching cover with details of the aircraft and how jet travel has developed.
I was just wondering if anyone would have any idea of how much they are worth?

You still pay per stamp Michael.

So basically, for £60 you get some software and can print as many of your own stamps as you like?? Seems a good deal. You could make them and flog them on ebay, they buy anything on there! 😀

My younger sons godfather (on the forum as oneleft) has done this and gave us some lovely stamps of my boy which we sent out with Christmas cards.

Royal Mail are launching an online stamps system, whereby you pay something like £60 licence per year plus stamps costs. You then design and print your own.
I think I’ll start putting my plane pics on some.

When you say ‘mint stamps’ do you mean the gum is flavoured?

I’ll do you a deal if you want??
I will offer you face value for them – take it or leave it. 😀

Probably no value at the moment, but keep them for years and years and years and you could be rich one day! 😀

I got them for free 😀 and i have looked on the Royal Mail site and noticed that they are no longer available 😀

Probably not that much then. I’m no expert, but I would guess they wouldn’t be worth much more than you paid for them at the moment.
Try asking again in 20 years…;)

i think they were published (if that is the correct word) in 2002. Not vary old.

How old are they?
