And with the exception of #1053, everything else after 1940 seems to be here in one shape or form.

"Knee-Deep in Plate Blocks" Enormous Organized Plate Block Holding, 1920s-91, In 47 boxes of varying size and 9 mint sheet folders, some singles and full sheets, but for the most a highly organized plate block holding, the vast majority in glassines labeled with catalogue number. A lot of this is even broken down further listing the plate numbers on the outside of the glassine along with the letters A, B, C & D designating the four plate positions. Mostly 25¢ and below, but it's amazing how this stuff adds up. 13¢ may not sound like a lot, but one mint sheet folder alone had 75 sheets of the 1976 State Flags issue. You do the math. Or how about over 40 plate blocks of the $1 Airlift? And that's actually a low quantity in comparison with others, Fine to Very Fine. Shipping charges apply - weight 255 lbs. (Image)

A hefty profit awaits the person brave enough to come in and do a rough count, overall Very Fine. Shipping charges apply - weight 20.2 lbs. (Image)

More Than Just a Face Value Lot, 1923-97, What on the surface appears to be just another face lot actually has many surprises tucked away. Two metal boxes, one with booklets, the other with plate blocks, both crammed so tight with glassines you can barely pull one out. A cigar box of mint, three mint sheets files, various folders and album pages, and the rest in one big pile. One thing we can all agree on is that there is a ton of face here, but also many premium items, some of which include coil line pairs of #600-03, 656, 723, 839-51, two strips of three with plate # of 1891, booklets BK84, BK98, BKC1 (with an additional pane of C10a), plate blocks of six of C11, C21-22, E11, E12, E14, and plate blocks of four of 833-34, 1053, C25-31, J88 (2), J89-104, O133, R733-34, etc. As potent as that lineup is, the bulk of the value is in the face count, so consequently, this lot should be inspected on the premises, Fine to Very Fine.

"Panes-taking" Collection of Complete Booklets & Panes, 1917-2020, This collection of complete booklets and booklet panes on stocksheets in four binders will more than likely be gobbled up as a face value lot, but the previous owner painstakingly labeled each entry with catalogue number, denomination, stamp description, year and additional information when applicable, such as perf, tagging, slogan, etc. Better booklets include #BK53, BK103, BK110-13, BKC1 (including an additional pane of C10a), BKC4a, and even some better in the modern era, like BK140B, BK148, BK159 (with an additional pane of 2283c). But there's no denying that there is a ton of face here with many of them in duplication and lots of Forevers too. So will it be someone looking for postage or a collector taking this holding to the next level? generally Fine to Very Fine, video flips viewable online. Shipping charges apply - weight 19 lbs.
