Price & Valuation:
Trade/retail reference: In the UK dealer shop the single stamp (SG 1372) is listed at £0.50 in “U/M” (unused mint) condition.
Given your item is a corner multiple block with full margin and colour bars, that typically commands a premium. However, the back gum condition (spotting/staining) will reduce value.
Valuation Estimate: ~ £8–£12
If perfect gum and pristine appearance, could possibly realise £15–£20+.
Given faults (gum spotting/staining) assume lower end of premium.
Recommended Listing Price:

Reserve price (if auction) could be £5, to ensure covers cost and encourages bidding.
Auction Option:
If you prefer auction format: Start at £5, no reserve, 7-day duration. This can generate bidding interest.
Or, start at £8 with a reserve of £5 (if your platform allows) to protect minimum value.
Additional Notes to Buyer:
“Please examine all photos for gum condition and spotting on reverse – this fringe margin block has spotting which cannot be removed without risk. Stamps themselves are fresh, unused, with original gum.
“This listing is for the block as shown – the photos show both front and reverse – no other stamps or items included.”
