It's 'SERIOUS UPDATE' season!
All the PLATING CDs have been subject to serious update and revision... Don't forget, if you have already purchased any of these CDs, send them back for the £10 update! Click on the 'HELP' button above for more details of Plating CDs...
In a recent PC crash, I lost the 'AI' file from CD4 - Plates 132-177. Customers who have purchased this CD, please CHECK YOUR FILES... If you find your 'AI' file is missing, please let me know, as I have now rebuilt it, and I will email you a copy...
OTHER CDs: I'm currently working on a new CD7 entitled 'Plating the Penny Black and Twopenny Blue'... When complete, it will not only enable simple plating of all these issues, but also identify and illustrate the majority of later states....don't hold your breath though - it's taken me a year to get to 'GL'! Watch this space...

A new list coming soon - something for the 'crinkly' collectors next time! As always, all lots start at £4.95... Just CLICK ON THE LINK at the bottom of this page - and GOOD LUCK with your bids...
