Guaranteed Minimum Return Contracts

This is possibly the only rare collectables' investment in the world that guarantees you a minimum 25% gain over the next 5 years or 60% over 10 years and the upside is unlimited should the market continue to progress well.   

For example, the worst thing that could happen to your investment is that Stanley Gibbons keeps your £10,000 safe for five or ten years and happily returns £12,500 or £16,000 respectively to you at the end of the contract term. So, there is no worst case scenario because no matter what happens, you’ll make a return.

  2. Sell your stamps or autographs yourself and pocket the profits.
  3. Sell through our auction house for 0% commission
  4. If you want the cash immediately, we’ll buy back your investment at 75% of the price listed in our most recent catalogue. So if your item doubles in value from £10,000 to £20,000 we’ll give you £15,000.
