No rarities but many hundreds of stamps, generally Fine to Very Fine. The albums alone retail for more than our estimate for the whole lot. Shipping weight 31 lbs / 14 kilos. View a PDF of images for this lot |  | $300 |
| 1045 | 1852-2000, a misc. accumulation and hodge-podge. 2 big boxes of fun, including a couple Scott National albums (mostly modern postage with modest coverage of older issues), a couple albums of modern used, plate blocks galore and a bit of U.N.

Mint commemoratives include Columbians to the 30¢, Trans-Mississippi to the 10¢, Pan-Americans complete, Louisiana Purchase and Jamestown complete, and then virtually complete from 1919 to 1992 (but no White Plains souvenir sheet). Airmail issues are complete mint to 1988 less only the 1930 Zeppelin set. There are a few special delivery and other back-of-the-book issue (but nothing great) and many booklet panes. Centering averages Fine to Very Fine for the more expensive early mint issues, and Very Fine for the balance; the few used are mediocre. Early mint issues are mainly o.g., hinged, with extensive NH later. Only a few inconsequential faults noted. All in all a really nice intact collection with much value for the collector, or for the dealer looking for better items. A small sampling has been imaged. Shipping weight 9.5 lbs / 4.3 kilos.
