Mint Never Hinged Collection in 11 Schaubek Springback Albums with Slipcovers, 1967-2003, the owner counted over 14,700 different stamps, all neatly mounted in clear mounts, totaling $7,400 in face value.

No great rarities within, still a really solid coverage of the issues in this period, useful both for postage, or for collecting / adding to.

Accumulation of Used Canada, Large Queens to 1960's, consisting of thousands of used stamps on loose album pages, in envelopes (some are organized by issue), and packets. We note a small selection of Large Queens along with Small Queens up to the Québecs (primarily low denominations for these issues), with good representation from the Admirals up to KGVI.

The accumulation also includes a selection of revenue stamps on loose album pages, glassines and on piece (we note Bill stamps and Ontario Law stamps).
