Andrew Robert Ridley... About Me...
Avoid getting ripped off when selling any collection from stamps to cigarette cards and all types of models and collectables. Talk to me for honest straight forward opinions.
My name is Andrew Ridley, I live in Coventry, and I am a 60 year old Stamp collector turned stamp dealer. I am quite knowledgeable in the philatelic field, but more so with Great Britain stamps QV to QEII Queen Victoria to Queen Elizabeth II. We also specialise in all types of die cast and tin plate models, radio controlled models and much more
I sell on eBay and have built up a good reputation as a Top Rated seller with 100% positive feedback.
I started to collect stamps from an early age, because I was at boarding school the letters I had all had pretty stamps on so I started saving them, and also my friends all gave them to me. A schoolboy collection. I did not get my first Penny Black until I was in my early 30's. Imperf stamps are my favourite part of collecting. I bought all the plating books for Penny Reds and Penny Blacks. So I have decided to offer my services as a Dealer in good quality stamps.
I do attend some local Stamp Auctions and buy better quality stamps and collections.
Also I also sold model trains and cars at local dealer fairs with my late father at venues all over the country and gained knowledge from this. Having spent over four years working at the tenoclockshow collectable dealers have gained a considerable knowledge of many types of collections.
I created the name all-originals because I wanted to sell genuine articles that are original, not miss-described (to the best of my knowledge) value for money and with as much information as possible.
I want anyone out there with a specialised knowledge of any collecting subject to contribute to this site. You will be given all the credit for this and all attributions will be publically acknowledged to you.
Why not post an item for free. Use the contact form or email me.
I believe that so many of us have a specialised knowledge, and will take this to our grave. You must pass this on, or it will be lost for ever. Talk to me and let's discuss a contribution. Thank you. Andrew.
I am an honest hard working guy and I have a fairly recent CRB check if any one wishes to see this, just ask.
