Yes indeed H,
And one of the more intriguing developments of recent times has been the purchase of the worlds most rarest stamp, that being the British Guiana 1ยข magenta of 1856 by Stanley Gibbons of The Strand London where it will eventually be displayed.
This is what Victoria lajer (the managing director) had to say on the matter when interviewed on the 10th of June 2021, 2 days after the auction.
https://youtu.be/EPZoGqZTkGU My feeling on the subject is that it is more of a PR ploy on behalf of Phoenix Asset Management (PAM) who are the majority shareholders in the company of Stanley Gibbons PLC regarding this surprise purchase, and it is they that have financed the affair, and will no doubt expect a substantial return on their investment in the not too distant future.
A few eyebrows have been raised over this venture concerning what the final outcome will be, for both the rarest stamp in the world and the companies involved.
This is what #philately had to say on the situation.
