As the majority of my scans so far are of individual stamps, I've had trouble finding one of the very few full set pages. This is a task that would take me an eternity to do, so in the meantime here's the 1988 definitives. As I indicated in my introduction post, I collect mint and used of all reigns.
Wherever possible, I only obtain CDS postmarks; particularly on QEII issues, as I dislike wavy line cancellations. Although this makes a rod for my own back, such pernickitiness does eventually have its rewards.
Presentation is, I'm afraid, a weak point. I house stamps on Hagner sleeves, as I am constantly shuffling things around and upgrading here and there. Maybe one day I'll have an attractive, decent set of albums. Just give me a bit more time (after all, I've only spent 30 years to get to this point).

I should indicate that this set is the second in the series. The first was issued in 1987 which can be distinguished by darker shading under the Queen's chin. The following series, issued in 1989, '90 and '91 had date imprints at the bottom of the right hand white band, under the country inscription.
