Simplified Listing of Lundy Stamp Issues

A good basic and representative collection can be formed by omitting the most expensive issues
- which are in any case overprints of earlier issues.

These expensive issues to omit are 3, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 39 The remainder will provide an attractive and comparatively inexpensive collection which you may decide to add to as funds allow.

The complication of Lundy stamps arises from running out of stock of the popular values and the under-use of the higher values. The decision not to waste stamps that are little used resulted in much overprinting of stamps.
