Produced by the Format International Security Printers, this set is taken from the extremely rare press sheets that were confiscated by the British Metropolitan Police from the printers archive during the raids they made to gain evidence in the infamous Tuvalu Trials back in 1989.

I found only two press sheets of the 60c value with SILVER overprints inverted on them unlike the press sheets with the GOLD overprint inverted of which I found 13 press sheets with them on them. Still was not ALL of the stamps on the press sheets so still quite rare. My start bid is quite INSANE!

In this year (2023) I am beginning to sell again as I have finally retired and now have time to begin offers of the really amazing collection and stock I have acquired from the archive and the Bileski rarities. Please see my other sales which I will be placing strictly on eBay only as I find time to place them.

The set imaged is the set you get! All are Mint and never hinged and have been preserved for many years by me.

Thank you for your interest.

Please be aware that new taxing policies for eBay requires state and some country taxes to be automatically charged which are out of my control.

For multiple purchases the shipping fee is the same and will not be increased.
