If I've managed to upload these and anyone can see them, are they likely to be worth anything to a collector?
I bought this book of 1st class stamps ages ago and forgot they where is my wallet until needing a stamp and finding no Red Arrows version, just 1 x 1st class, and 2 with 2 x larger 'stamps' with Royal Mail printed right way up and upside down, no monetary value or 1st class printed. Would a collector be interested. The guy in the post office didn't know but was eager to get hold of them, hence the suspicion.
Worth 0.00001p for the booklet and £1.06 for the stamp . The original book had 4 standard 1st class stamps in the middle, two either side of the fold and two larger red arrows stamps.
Chances are that if you bought it with only three stamps in it someone had nicked the others. If you ever buy stamps from a retailer they always open the book and check the number of stamps are correct.
It's no misprint. You either got stuffed, you used the stamps and forgot or your wife/partner pinched them.

Sorry LarsG, nothing has been removed, the 2 large which should have probably been the Red Arrows pics are printed Royal Mail, 1 right way up, the other one upside down. Nothing has been removed. Just 2 large 'stamps' with nothing on them value wise, and 1 x 1st class which appears as it should do. So 1 missing as well from your description.

The two large stamps are just missing - you can see the perforations on the outside of the top sheet, and the printing where they should be is just the backing strip from which they've been peeled. There's no upside down or right way up as the watermarking is printed in both.

D'oh!! Just checked after cutting the grass before the rain comes. You're quite right Electric Pics, I have to get new glasses! Only way I could confirm it is running a nail across the edges and feeling the ridge. All Right, Nothing to see here. Move Along!!
