Item Specifics:

Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom

Year of Issue: (approximate) 1984 (according to listings of 31p Christmas “Virgin and Child” issue)

Denomination: 31 pence

Type: Commemorative stamp, Christmas theme (“Virgin & Child”)

Format: Sheetlet/Pane of 6 with margin

Gum: Original, unhinged (Mint NH)

Selvage details: Colour control blocks (IB, IC, ID etc) visible in margin

Condition Details: Very good, slight ageing/staining on margin (see back photo) — stamps themselves appear fine.

Valuation & Rationale:

According to StampData the 31p “Virgin & Child” issue (Nov 20, 1984) is listed among the 31p denomination Christmas issues.

I could not locate a recent major sale for exactly this sheet of six with margin to establish a precise market value, but similar 31p stamps and Christmas issues are modestly priced for mint NH.

As a rough estimate: for a marginal sheet of six in mint NH condition, I would assign a valuation of approx £12-£18 GBP (assuming no rare variety) given the issue’s relative commonness.

Because there appears some margin staining, price should reflect that slightly reduced condition.
