Het zegeltje is onderweg naar Engeland (groot nieuws .. 😶) en verder eigen niets nieuws. Nou ja, ze willen weten wat wij, de geïnteresseerden, nu precies vinden en willen, en vragen om een enquête in te vullen. Uiteraard netjes gedaan, maar eigenlijk vindt Willemstamps in deze helemaal niets.
Originele mail:
It’s been three weeks since our successful bid for the world famous 1c-Magenta and I am keen to let you know the progress we have made in our goal to make ownership of this historic item available for all.
In addition to finalising shipping arrangements (and of course payment) for the stamp, we have begun commissioning the display at 399 Strand, including a bespoke and apparently bulletproof display case — we don’t intend on testing it. We hope that many of you will be able to come and visit us once it is ready and we will also be arranging a number of advance viewings and special events, COVID protocols allowing of course.
For those of you who are unable to visit us in person, and indeed those who are, we have also been working on how best to make this a seamless and wonderful online experience for everybody.
We have seen a huge level of interest in the concept of fractional ownership and will be sharing more about what this will look like in the coming weeks.
As we hope that many of you will become part-owners of the stamp, we’d also like to ask for your opinions about it. Anybody completing our short questionnaire (available here), will automatically be entered into a draw to attend a private viewing before the item goes on display. This will include an overnight stay at the nearby Savoy and all travel costs – again COVID protocols allowing.
Making sure we get it right takes a little time, but we will keep you up to date every step of the way and rest assured, the team are working exceptionally hard to put it all together as quickly as possible.
By complete coincidence, we have a sister stamp of the 1 cent Magenta, the 4 cent, going under the hammer in our next auction although we don’t expect it to sell for
quite as much!
Thank you for your continued interested. It won't be long until the stamp arrives and we can begin to paint the town red…or magenta.
