Mint and Used Collector's Duplicates / Dealer's Stock in Red Boxes, housed in seven red boxes, three half-sized red boxes and three white 102-card boxes with thousands of stamps. The group includes Australia, Great Britain & Commonwealth, Germany & Area, Russia and some worldwide. The Australia is mostly used, organized by Scott catalogue number and goes from about the 1910s to the 1990s. We noted a few singles / sets in the $2 to $5 range, with a few singles above this. For Great Britain the material is mostly mint 1970s and 1980s stamps, usually in the form of singles and is therefore a little better organized for sale. For Britain, there are also several hundred, mostly used stamps in glassines. The British Commonwealth is by Scott number and is strong in India & Asia, the Caribbean and British Europe. These also appear ready for sale and have many sets at the $2 to $5 level. The Germany & Area is organized by Michel number, is a mix of mint and used and has upwards to about five of any given issue. Some of the Germany is ready for sale. We noted a few better sets climbing to the $10 to $20 level as well as unusual items listed in Michel. The Danzig is comprised mostly of mint and is well suited for selling. The Saar is more of a collector's duplicates arrangement. The Russia material will often have both the Scott number as well as the Michel. These tend to be unpriced, used singles. The worldwide portion is comprised of mint singles in unmarked 102s. We estimate there to be the following number of 102-cards for each country: Australia (700), Great Britain (300), British Commonwealth (2,000), Germany (1,500), Danzig (300), Saar (400), Russia 1,300) and Worldwide (600).
