WIN: *10* x 2023 Annual Year Packs of Gibraltar stamps - Value $2,000!
Due to the wonderful generosity of Gibraltar Stamp Bureau General Manager, Stefano Blanca Sciacaluga, and his Team, we have *TEN* of these superb annual Year Packs to give away over the next month to members.
These superb looking Annual Year Pack collections each sell for £99, or about $A200 each, and will be posted globally to the 10 lucky winners direct, by the Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau, by Tracked Post.
As you can see, they contain the full year of gorgeous new issues from Gibraltar, and are a very popular with collector's. Some previous year Annual Packs are still available on their website below, if you wish to take the collection backwards for completeness.
And all the new 2024 new issue sets are featured on that site.
Also larger images of EACH of the ten superb sets and mini sheets in each album, and the full background details on each, are also shown here on the Gibraltar Stamp website -

The Gibraltar Year Pack Collection includes all the commemorative stamps issued by Gibraltar during the year 2023. The Year Pack is produced and printed in high quality material and includes information about the stamps translated into 6 languages, English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Chinese. The stamps are enclosed in special philatelic mounts on the inside pages, and the pack folds for easy access to all pages.

HOW TO WIN ......... ?
How to win .. well simply type a number here – you can enter as many times as you wish. 10 times, 100 times or 1000 times! Add to your post count, and get a new bauble, AND maybe win a VERY valuable $200 prize.
Type any number here between 1 and 25,000. Type NOTHING else - just the number, with no commas, or symbols, or zeros before it, etc.
DO NOT TYPE '00' or '000' etc before entries -- it will make checking winners at the end near impossible, and they are hence disqualified.
JUST type -
24278 or 14524 or 4927 or 492 or 42 or 4 etc, etc
Competition closes midnight Sydney time, on Sunday May 19, 2024
I’ll ask Stefano to use a random number generator, to choose 10 numbers between 1 and 25,000. The closest numbers posted here on this thread, to those numbers after the competition closes, each win the superb Year Pack shown here. THERE WILL BE 10 Different Winners.
i.e. if 3693 is one of Stafano’s numbers generated, the closest below or above that, is that winner – in the case of a tie like 3694 and 3692 etc, the EARLIEST post here wins.
Posts on this thread are NOT limited to 25,000, and will doubtless exceed it. Our last similar competition had 36,000 entries. Why? As clearly number 2345 (or whatever) might be posted several times, within the first 25,000 posts, meaning some other numbers are not yet posted. I did a spot check when we reached 10,000 posts last competition, of 5 numbers - and 2 of them had not yet been posted even then, so do keep making guesses!
The ‘search in this topic' box at top left allows a fast check to be made of the winning numbers - once we get Stefan0’s 10 random number choices at month end. As always, members here take part in the determination of who posted what and when, and verifying the results of others, making it fair and transparent to all. We have a University Mathematics Professor here, who assists us with the final prize scores determinations.
If anyone posts more than one correct number, they win one prize - that is the MAXIMUM. The Gibraltar Bureau asked we have this rule, to ensure 25 different members globally win the prizes, which seems fair enough.
So if member Billybob205 gets 3 numbers, the first of those numbers wins the prize, and we'll have another random generated number draw to allocate any prizes greater than one per person, and so on until we get 10 different winners. Or, we may go back and look at a few numbers to each side of the chosen numbers.
The Judge's decision is final, and guess WHO the no-nonsense Judge is here.
Best of Luck to All participants!
Glen
