Since the birth of philately 180 years ago, collectors have been hunting for error stamps.

For many, they are the most desirable postage stamps on Earth.

Because these stamp aren't supposed to exist.

They are glorious mistakes, never to be repeated.

So the fact that you can actually own them is truly exciting.

At every stage of postage stamp production, there are dozens of quality control checks. It takes a unique set of circumstances for an error to slip through.

But a single printing mistake can produce stunning results.

And some of the most valuable and iconic stamps in philatelic history.

That's why the error stamps market is one of the most popular, vibrant and rapidly growing areas in the entire hobby.

And your pathway into a dynamic market which has seen stunning growth in recent years.
