3735	/o/	DOMINICAN REPUBLIC Mint and Used Extensive Dealers Stock, 1879//2006, Housed in over 60 binders/stockbooks, Mostly 20th Century, STRONG BACK-OF-BOOK, including Semi Postal, Airmail, Airmail Semi-Postal, Special Delivery, Insured Letter, Postage Due, Official, Postal Tax and Postal Tax airmail issues neatly organized and arranged by Scott numbers, including varieties (we noticed some earlier SPECIMEN overprints which looked quite good). Also includes overflow/ backup to the stock housed in 20+ sheets files and a small box plus 10 books of FDC’s. A really comprehensive holding of this seldom encountered but popular country, quantities ranging from a few to around 25 of each, with some higher quantities in the sheets and overflow backup stock, but nicely balanced. Loaded with Topicals and the more modern issue period which everyone seemed to miss for inventory. This is by far the largest holding of this country we have offered and comprises of tens of thousands of stamps, souvenir sheets, varieties and even a few collections that did not get integrated into the stock. The amount of time to try and set up this sort of inventory would be massive if you could find the stamps-many are genuinely scarce. Definitely a gold mine for breakdown/retail and internet sales. Condition is mostly F-VF (as it was from a source in the western US) so it is not plagued by the tropical gum/staining that is prevalent from stocks stored locally in the DR. There will certainly be a few problems here or there, but generally quite a clean stock and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Huge retail potential please take a look for yourself.
