Stamped Rare
Rare Stamps and Autographs – The Best Investment You’ve Never Heard Of?
Why invest in autographs and stamps and not traditional stocks and shares?
I would not suggest that investors abandon traditional investment mechanisms such as stock and shares. What I do recommend is that investors recognise the importance of diversification. Evidence proves that the movement in the prices of rare stamps and autographs are uncorrelated with equity and property markets.
What sort of returns can I expect?
Our Guaranteed Minimum Return Investment Contracts offer investors a guaranteed minimum return of 4% per annum over the next 5 years and 5% per annum over the next 10 years. The rare stamp market however shows excellent growth potential. Rare stamps have increased in value by an average annual compound growth rate of 10% in the past 50 years.
Are there any management fees?
There are no hidden charges. We offer free storage and insurance during the term of your investment. We also provide free annual valuations.
Which stamps and autographs would you recommend?
I recommend focusing only on rare stamps in premium condition which historically have always achieved the best returns at auction. Condition is all important when considering investment merit.
Rare signatures also represent good value at this time due to the fact that it’s still a relatively immature market.
Do you invest in stamps and autographs?
I have built up a substantial investment/collection in rare stamps and signatures during my 10 years with Stanley Gibbons. Last year my investment in rare stamps and signatures was the only asset I own that went up in value.
My Stamp Collection consists of a number of well known rarities from Great Britain such as a penny black, 2d blue, seahorse and £5 orange. I also have a substantial collection of what I consider to be undervalued rarities from British Commonwealth countries and am currently building a collection based on what I consider the most attractive stamp designs in the world in the best condition I have ever encountered.
My signatures collection includes firsts such as Apollo 11 (first men on the moon), Wright Brothers (first manned flight), Edmund Hilary (first man to climb Everest) etc. My secondary collection is in signed artist’s prints and sketches by artists such as Pablo Picasso.
How do I get started?
I would recommend investors do their own research. Firstly, look at our website www.stanleygibbons.com/investment and other similar websites discussing rare stamps. Sign up for our weekly investment newsletter to get a feel for the various products we offer and perhaps contact one of our advisors for a free, no obligation personal consultation. You can speak to your IFA, however most will not be aware of this product; it has been referred to in the past by one financial commentator as “the best investment you have never heard of.”
To sum it up, what makes investing in rare stamps/autographs so compelling?
This is an opportunity for investors to achieve true wealth diversification in a safe asset class offering an exciting minimum return of 4%. What other investment do you know of that possess all of these attributes:
- Has risen in value every year for the last 50 years?
- Shows no correlation with any other asset class?
- Guarantees a minimum return of 4% per annum over the next 5 years?
- Offers you an unlimited upside?
- Is easy to get into, with no hidden costs?
- Historically performed well in recessionary periods?
- Provides a hedge against inflation? (in the last period of high inflation in the 1970s, rare stamps increased in value by 600% in the decade)
- Is backed by the biggest brand name in its field with a history spanning over 150 years?
- No “opportunity costs” against savings earning “nothing” in the bank?
- Protects against any devaluation in sterling as an internationally traded portable commodity?
- Represents an investment in a tangible asset with a value embedded in history?”
