GB 2025 - Christmas Smilers/Collector Stamp Sheet, 
Cat ref. SC-GS181/SG-LS179

Celebrate the pioneering age of Victorian postage with the Stamps of Queen Victoria Smilers / Collectors Sheet!    Issued 27th November 2025 and available for immediate dispatch from that date.


Bringing together ten stamps from Royal Mail's latest issue in self-adhesive form, the sheet is enhanced with carefully selected images which help tell the story of each iconic design including first dies, trial prints, essays and diagrams. 


From the revolutionary Penny Black and Twopenny Blue to later classics such as the Penny Red, Penny Lilac and Jubilee issue, each stamp is paired with historic imagery that places it in its original context. The backdrop of a Penny Black sheet underlines Queen Victoria’s enduring association with the birth of postage stamps. 


The sheet has been printed on self-adhesive paper and printed in Litho by ISP/Cartor which differs from the gummed version of this stamp and is the only source of the self-adhesive stamp.  Supplied, in A4 black mount with protective cellophane wrapper and posted in board backed C4 envelope to protect sheet in transit.
