I really don't remember buying stamps at all, just swapping. I did look with envy at stamps that were on display in shops and probably the one in Needless Alley. There was a shop in Newtown Row that had quite a few for sale and I do recall them having assortments in see through envelopes. Dave A.

Well there we have it! Thanks Mike! Dave A
