I may be buying a UNC T33 note tomorrow. I have been offered the note and all depends on the grade. The images look good but to have it to hand will confirm the grading. If UNC it will be a fantastic Treasury banknote.

I have bought a collection of outstanding quality. There is a B271 Last Run (Y25X) in AUNC grade, a UNC B313 Replacement Note and some superb Lowther and Bailey Column Sorts, Replacements and First Runs. Keep your eyes peeled for some really special new additions this coming weekend.

St Johnstone have done the double, winning both Cup competitions in Scotland this year. For all Saints supporters in Perth and in the ‘Diaspora’ it is a time of great joy. Buying a rare UNC banknote does not compare….maybe it does!

I have bought a number of B249 notes. They are said to be UNC, so I hope to have delivery today. Keep your eyes open. Included are a number of Fforde Replacement Notes which look to be Fine to VF. Although not high grades, they will be good spacefillers….keep looking.
