Genuine UK "Hagner" sheets … and quality Binder/Slipcases also DIRT cheap!

 

 

The cost of imported and 100% genuine European made Hagner storage sheets has stayed exactly the same from me for over 5 years, due to the strong dollar here, and me keeping margins low.  The new (or about to be announced) recommended retail of $A1.60 or so each is not high really, and buying in bulk below, saves you a FORTUNE!!    A cheaper per page storage option involves German made “Lighthouse” stockbooks, at well under the storage page cost of Hagners.  I have of course great deals on them here –  www.glenstephens.com/lighthouse.html However for very many uses, Hagner sheets are simply indispensable, and if you want them at under 80c each, THIS is the place to order them from! The locally made “Kanga” and “Eureka” etc stamp stock-sheets were sloppily and un-professionally packaged, and I refused to sell them, on that basis alone.  Buying official and genuine British made HAGNER sheets is CERTAINLY worth a few cents more each than the local copycats.  I am VERY sure you’ll agree, when you’ve checked them and their “packaging” out yourself – side by side!   These GENUINE Hagners come of course, all neatly cello packaged in TENS per size ex UK so your sheets stay dry and clean until you use them.   Factory cartons of each size is 400 .. i.e. if you use large numbers of #2s for FDC, order a factory carton of 400. I’ll say no more about quality and reliability of the copycats, but the reason you pay more for a Mercedes than a Ford Falcon is VERY evident after you compare the 2 next to each other.  Both have 4 wheels and a motor - and there the similarity stops!  Only GENUINE Hagner sheets have the word HAGNER colourless embossed along the base.  It is does NOT say that you may have a “Bangkok Rolex”.     If you REALLY want to buy genuine European made genuine Hagner Sheets -  below are my discount prices.  If you want to save a cent or two and take a chance on unknown and untested “copycat” type brands – well, you were warned.

 

You simply tell me exactly WHICH packs you want to make up the 220 (or 400 or 600 etc) you are paying for.  You can mix and match however you wish within each order.

 

These are BEST quality European made sheets.   The original and the BEST .. Market Leader for over 50 years.  British made Hagner System genuine stock pages are specified by many postal administrations throughout the world.  Using a clear, fully synthetic adhesive, a crystal-clear polyester foil (free of softeners) which is strongly bonded to chemically neutral, tough, thick black photo-card.  The different stock page sizes will accommodate singles, pairs or blocks, Maxi sheets, souvenir sheets, covers, and many more items besides!  The possibilities are truly endless. Carefully selected superior thick black card, made of homogeneous sulphite pulp is used,  Mylar® film, and sized with saponified rosin size, so as not to give off colour.  This card has a neutral pH value -  no harmless acids that RUIN your stamps. It is over 50 years since these genuine HAGNER style stock sheets came onto the market, AND they have been constantly improved.  Today they are renowned for their unsurpassed quality, ease of use and ideal protection for stamps.  Long term tests under extreme conditions have shown Hagner stock sheets will retain their valuable properties over centuries. Senior Collectors and Postal Administrations and Museums and dealers worldwide rely on these genuine HAGNER brand stock sheets for the safe long-term storage and display of stamps.  If these are the preferred medium of the professionals, they are PERFECT for you!

The size of the genuine Hagner standard stock-sheets is around A4 or Quarto – i.e.  215 x 280 mm.  You can store them in nearly all standard main market 4 ring binders.  See the INSANELY low Deluxe Binder/Slipcase special offer below -  very nearly post free to you if ordered along with the Hagner Sheets!  You NEED slipcases if you live in Australia and want to curtail rust/foxing/toning. The pockets on the stock-sheets are approx the following heights in mm, from sheet #1 to sheet #8, in order:

 

242, 118, 79, 58, 46, 37, 32 and 28mm.

i.e. a #1 sheet (242 mm deep) is large enough for a VERY large cover, a very large sheetlet, or a huge mini sheet like 'Ausipex 84'. Right through to #8 size sheets, each of which can house 100s of the smallest size stamps - like the popular GB Machin heads etc. Size #3 or #4 is excellent for Australian mint blocks 4 etc. I only stock single sided Hagners – double sided are a waste of space in my view!  You need to buy at least 10 of each size, as they are factory packed in tens. So important - you must order as “HS1 x 1” if you want TEN sheets, or “HS1 x 10” if you want 100 sheets of #1. You MUST specify as below how many of each size you need to make up your 220 or  400 or  600  order. I cannot read minds!

Order exactly in format as follows in the sheet sizes you need. EACH size is in a sealed pack of 10.  Therefore “HS2 x 8” is EIGHTY sheets of 79 mm strips or “Hagner 2” size.  If you carelessly order “HS 2 x 80” when you need 80 sheets, I will ship and charge you for 800 sheets. So THINK before typing please! Please DO type it carefully, and DO type exactly in this format below, or your order is very likely to be messed up, costing you expensive postage to return the wrong sizes – or getting 10 times more you ordered than you really wanted! So your order to me for 220 sheets on the SECURE SITE email order form:  https:www.glenstephens.com/order.html  - should look exactly like this format below, but in the exact choice of sizes of packs 10 each size you need –                                                       " HS1 x 1 - HS2 x 4 - HS3 x 5 - HS4 x 10 - HS5 x 2 ( = 22 packs of 10 = 220 sheets)"

 

HS 1 = 242 mm high pocket x 1 strip a page i.e. #1 Size HS 2 = 118 mm height pockets x 2 strips a page i.e. #2 Size HS 3 = 79 mm height pockets x 3 strips a page i.e. #3 Size HS 4 = 58 mm height pockets x 4 strips a page i.e. #4 Size HS 5 = 46 mm height pockets x 5 strips a page i.e. #5 Size HS 6 = 37 mm height pockets x 6 strips a page i.e. #6 Size HS 7 = 32 mm height pockets x 7 strips a page i.e. #7 Size HS 8 = 28 mm height pockets x 8 strips a page i.e. #8 Size

These above are a few HS 7 size sheets – i.e. “#7” size

My bulk-buy price is well

 under 80 cents a sheet !!!  

 

This is around HALF usual retail!!!  Buy up .....  I have 1000's here, and if the retail price goes up so will these prices – I have held them at this level for near 10 years.  And supply issues are often CHRONIC!

220 sheets - $A200

400 sheets - $A340

600 sheets - $A475

  

POSTAGE on these is not as bad as you might imagine. Each lot of 220 is pretty heavy - about 6 kilos. I am making this unique fixed price offer for FLAT RATE POSTAGE for 220 sheets ... no matter WHERE you live in Victoria,  NSW,  and Queensland (except NQ)  -  I will mail these for a flat $A20, plus Reg’d and packing fee. For North Queensland (Zones Q3, Q4) and all Tasmania and South Australia it will be a flat $A25 plus Reg’d Post and packing.   And it will be a flat $30 for anywhere in Northern Territory or Western Australia.  400 or 600 often costs not much more postage than the 220 price shown here.  In some cases 600 (18 kilos) costs EXACTLY the same as one carton of 220!  600 will fit into ONE large box, meaning only ONE postage cost for you.  So buy more than you THINK you need, as you’ll save a ton on postage.  And you WILL use them up! Registered post and the time consuming packing is only a flat $5 extra, whether 220 or 400 or 600 is purchased.  And I CAN send 600 as one shipment, and still be under the PO max weight limit of 20 Kg.  Let me know your postcode.  If you are in a place that rates a high Australia Post 'zone' I'll quote postage, but 99% of readers will not be affected by this. And of course nice stamps are ALWAYS used on MY parcels!  "Win, win" for you – see here - http://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=29146

 

In 30 years of stamp dealing I know one thing for sure -  you can NEVER have too many Hagner sheets.  NEVER!!!!  Yes, you WILL use 220, and you'll use them 3 times faster than you think.   You will use 400 - trust me.  And often 600.  Get together with a few stamp friends and buy in bulk.  Ask around at the stamp club.  EVERYONE will buy 100 top quality GENUINE HAGNER storage sheets in their exact choice of sizes, at A80¢ each ... I can guarantee it!  Some ‘know-all’ in the club may point out you may save a penny or two on local made ‘look-alike’ black “Hagner” sheets that are NOT genuine Hagners, and have no 50 year quality control and development history.  Your stamps are worth $1,000s.  Ask the know-all if he can guarantee you the strips will not fall off,  the sheets will not buckle and warp,  or indeed separate into 2 or 3 sections.  And then place the order with me.  “Oils Ain’t Oils”.     And YOU keep the nice stamps off the parcel!  Nice stamps are ALWAYS used on mailings so cost to you is near ZERO!

Warning - NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER  buy second-hand Hagner style sheets.  You will pay nearly this price, and they may ruin your collection.  FAST.  If stamps have been stored there before, that had rust/toning/foxing etc, that mould is ON the black board already.  And it WILL get worse.  I can guarantee you that. You often times cannot see it with the naked eye, but the tiny mould/rust spores ARE there.  It will attack your stamps within months when you neatly place your stamps right on the spores.  Buy NEW sheets - and never have this problem.
