• Condition: Mint Never Hinged (MNH).

• Upper Rows: 2016 "UNESCO Gorham’s Cave Complex" complete set of 5. These celebrate the site's status as a World Heritage location, famous for being one of the last habitations of Neanderthals. Features corner margin plate blocks with "1A" markings.

• Lower Rows: 2016 "90th Birthday of HM Queen Elizabeth II" complete set of 9. This series traces the Queen’s life across nine decades, from her childhood in the 12p stamp to her later years in the £1 stamp.

• Specialist Note: All stamps are clean, well-centered, and include technical printer margins, making them more desirable than individual loose stamps.

Philatelic Insight: The Neanderthal Connection

The Gorham's Cave set is particularly popular among "Paleophilately" collectors (stamps featuring prehistoric life and archaeology). The 80p stamp in that set (the one showing the group) is a specific favorite for those who collect human evolution themes.
