Seven Seas 2026 AUSTRALIA + TERRITORY HARDCOVER STAMP CATALOGUE

click image to see full size

ASC AUSTRALIA+TERRITORY catalogue, hardcover 600+ pages  - 'Seven Seas Stamps - Australasian Stamp Catalogue' - widely known as the 'ASC' - this is the 33rd Edition. The biggest and best by many miles.

This new Seven Seas Stamps catalogue is over a whopping 600 pages, and has very thick solid, varnished board covers to ensure it stands upright on bookshelves. A huge plus, and the last edition was way back in 2017 - EIGHT YEARS BACK, and had thin covers that were quite unsuitable. That one was only 400 pages, so this new epic is over 200 pages thicker. Large A4/Quarto page size.

If you only own ONE catalogue covering this region - THIS is the one to have. Nothing else comes remotely close. Editor Graeme Morris advises he used a font spacing more easily read by older eyes, and is on the quality 'Brite-White' finish paper, and it works very well. 

All are factory shrink-wrapped for protection, and that makes it a superb Christmas or Birthday gift etc, Ask the kids to buy you one of these and not another new sweater!

Our price is only $160.00 CAD$
