Beginning with a fantastic first page, here are some of the better items you will find… mint #15 (no gum), 17, 24, 133, 134-38 (LH), 139-42, 151-54 (VLH), 304 (sheet of 6), 490 (NH sheet of 6), C10, C62b (sheet of 6), C75 (sheet of 6), C78 (VLH), C91 (VLH), and used #7, 10, 26, 143-50, 180, C11-16 (CTO), J37-51, Q36.
