Stamp & Coin Mart

Beat the collecting crunch!


As woolies goes to the wall and the interest rate plummets, it seems there's no denying a recession is upon us. So what does the seemingly gloomy outlook mean for collectors? That's the big question we'll be answering in January's Collecting Crunch Special. As our in-depth market report in this month's Stamp & Coin Mart reveals, it's not all doom and gloom, with many dealers reporting rising profits. With great tips on getting stamp bargains and budget coins, the latest issue provides plenty of inspiration to make 2009 another cracking year for collecting. All this, and it's still just £2.95, a bargain!
