RARE imperf plate proof of one of the values from Tonga 1996 Olympics set. Tonga did not issue imperf stamps - these imperf items are rare plate proofs from the Tonga printers archival material. Only one sheet of 20 plate proofs of this value were done. Unlike other countries which issue imperfs with each set, Tonga does not do this. The printers kept one imperf sheet as the plate proof sheet after checking, before the main printing run, and this sheet was kept in the Walsall Security Printers archives. This proof comes from that one sheet.
Payment can be made in two ways:-
1. By cash (US dollars, English pounds or Euros) posted through the mail. Cash travels safely through the mail when placed between several sheets of paper or inside an old card.
2. Or payment can be made through PayPal in US dollars, English pounds or euros.
IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING POINTS:-
1. I cannot take MasterCard or VisaCard direct. I do not have merchant facilities. I can only take credit card payments if done through PayPal.
2. I cannot take cheques as bank fees are too high on overseas cheques.
3. If you win an item and will be paying through the mail, you MUST email me and let me know that you will pay through the mail. If you just post payment without telling me then there is no way that I know what is happening.

stamp blocks or artwork), then the cost of postage is shown in the
item description. But US$2.80 is the minimum cost to
anywhere in the world except for Australia where the cost is
US$1.50.

IMPORTANT NOTE - for buyers in China, India, Russia and Romania who
pay by PayPal, REGISTRATION is COMPULSARY. Too
many unregistered letters have somehow gotten lost or stolen when
sent to these high risk countries and paypal forces me to
refund payment to the buyers even though I have posted their
letters. If you pay by moneybookers then registration is not
compulsory. But if buyers from these countries pay by
paypal THEN REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED no matter what the cost of the
item is.
Buyers from all countries must pay for registration if the total
amount purchased comes to US$50 or more and they are paying by
paypal. If you are paying by moneybookers and the
total is over $50, then you can decide whether you want the
protection of registration or not. But if registration
is not taken, then risk of posting is at buyers risk.
COST OF REGISTRATION in Australia is now AU$18.50 (US$14.00) for a
large A4 sized international registration envelope and AU$12.00
(US$9.00) for a small sized international registered envelope.
