   Hi Mark,   
   Again, as Kevin says, it's a matter of personal preference. I don't bother   
   with the mini-sheets either, but would agree that it's an attractive thing   
   to collect. Although I do specialise in GB Victoria I also have a monster   
   collection of the QE2 definitives - never really have any value but so many   
   different ones it's interesting. I suppose the point I am trying to make is   
   that I don't collect the stuff that they (the post-office) want us to ;-)   
      
   Cheers and have fun   
   Ady
