Each stamp set contains a variety of British-themed stamps featuring historical figures or events. Ideal for all your artwork, as well as rewards for students, the historic collectable 500 British stamp set contains many interesting stamps from around the world, all different. NOTE: *Stamps in each set may vary from those shown in photos. Out of the 500 stamps in the packet, around 15-20 stamps are affixed to a cardboard backing, purely for display purposes, but you will still be able to use these stamps in your own collection. When you receive the stamps, simply allow the cardboard to soak in lukewarm tap water for around an hour. The stamps will then peel off easily. Allow them to dry fully on a kitchen towel at room temperature, then mount them in your own album.
