The Extraordinary Balance of the "World Traveler" Private Die Proprietary Stamp Collection. Housed on individual sales sheets, each meticulously identified by paper type, representing nearly 790 different Scott listings of Match, Medicine, Perfumery and Playing Cards issues, with very few duplicates, largely complete for items cataloguing just a few dollars to a couple hundred (a few even higher), generally lacking the multi-hundred and thousand dollar Scott Retail stamps, as these are offered individually in this auction

EASILY THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE COLLECTION OF ITS KIND WE HAVE EVER OFFERED. AN IDEAL FOUNDATION FOR A SERIOUS COLLECTION OF THESE FASCINATING STAMPS.

While (mostly small) faults are expected on many stamps, as is characteristic of these issues, the overall condition is much better than typically encountered.

Scott value in excess of $50,000.00 (Image)
