Mine are also on card so it looks like we have the real things.  I bought both items but they are very large - how to display them well will now be hard to decide.

Thanks again for spotting these Daniel.

I have also been quietly adding to my collection of classic Gerald King wonders. 

And looking forward to any new issues he might produce  Big smile

I have now got some Snark Island proofs printed on thin card. I have seen these before as part of a large sheet, but these have been separated out into sets - approximately

Some more of Gerry King's Snark Island Island creations. These are the first issues produced after the expedition made landfall; the earlier Beaver essays do not count as they were never used on post.
The green and yellow and the Varnishing/Vanishing Fee overprints appear to uncatalogued. Must be worth £000s!

Nice to have some Snark Island covers.
Gerald King put so much into these making them seem credible and expanding the narrative of the poem.

More Snark Island mail, this time maritime post vis the Dutch East Indies.
Note the stamps. I haven't seen the GB 2s 6d nor the Dutch stamps as unused singles or in any sets

I have been able to add some stamps to my Snark Island collection.
Pink paper where I only had white paper, and white paper where I only had pink paper
Some new surcharges and others with noticable shade differences to those already in my collection
