>A stamp collection belonging to former Beatle John Lennon has gone on sale 
>in London for £29,950.
>
>As a schoolboy he collected 565 stamps from countries including Australia, 
>India, USA, Germany and Italy.
>
>The stamps, which are still in their original album, were acquired from a 
>collector in the United States.
>
>Richard Purkis, from autograph and stamp traders Stanley Gibbons, says the 
>album shows stamp collecting appeals to a broad spectrum of people.
>
>"For a schoolboy collection, it is quite impressive and for a John Lennon 
>fan, it is a wonderful piece of memorabilia," he said.
>
>"An interest in stamps demonstrates an interest in different countries, 
>cultures and art, so perhaps we should not be surprised that it appealed 
>to a creative person like John Lennon."
>
>The album is currently on display at Fraser's Autograph Gallery in London.
>
>Lennon wrote his name and address in the flysheet, signing his name in 
>blue ballpoint pen.
