I have a few lbs of WGV(Whitbread Golding Variety) hops from last year. They were sealed in a big maylar block and stored in a freezer till recently. They have been broken up into smaller 1lb food saver bags. $8/lb +shipping.

AA 6.5
crop year 2010

These are pellet hops. They will be shipped thru flat rate envelopes. I believe i can get up to 2lbs in one for $5.

More about the hops:
Originally grown in Kent starting in 1911. It was a proprietary hop for the Whitbread Beer Company. Moderate hoppy aroma with a sweet fruity note. Commonly used in English style beers, but is now being used in pale ales especially for dry hopping. Giving a clean bitterness when used as a bittering hop and a great hoppy aroma and fruit overtones for aroma hops.

Alpha acid (range) 5.5 to 7.5%
Beta Acid (range) 2.0 to 2.7%
Ratio Alpha : Beta 2.8:1
Cohumulone (% of alpha) 34%
Total oils ml/100g (dry) 0.8 to 1.2
 
I'd never heard of them either and had to google.
