British Africa, Mint & Used Collection with Exceptional Seychelles, Lagos, Cape of Good Hope & Others, 1853-1992, Lots of highlights in this one starting off with an incredible, seemingly complete collection of Seychelles up to 1976 consisting of a mix of mint and used, in some cases both, along with a few blocks and covers for good measure. Better include mint #4a, 12a, 14-18, 20-21 (specimen overprints), 29-37, 38-48, 52-62, 63-73, 79-89, 91-114, 142-44, 152 (corner margin block), 157-71, 173-90, and used 20-21, 26, 151-52 (on cover). This same volume has some really nice Cape of Good Hope triangles, but that's nothing compared to a Palo album with a multiple-page onslaught of the three-sided marvels. Notated with S.G. number as identified by the collector covering various listed shades, here are the Scott equivalents: used 1-2, 1f, 3a, 4 (pair), 4b, 5, 5a (pair), 5b, 6a, 7, 12, 12a, 12b, 13, 13a (with cert), 13b, 14-15. Plenty more in this and the other Palo volume, such as complete mint Rhodesia & Nyasaland, excellent Gold Coast, and some astonishing Lagos including used 1-6, 6a, 7-12, 13-27, 29-34, 40-47, 58, and duplicate pages for mint with an additional set of pages for specimen overprints. And it doesn't end there, as there is an entire Lighthouse album of Nigeria (1914-89), mostly mint and nearly complete with such premium mint as 1-11, 31-32, 38-49, 74 (block), 80-91, and a separate binder for the issues of Biafra. Last but not least, a mixed mint & used collection of the entire continent in a Minkus album from Ascension to Zululand with better sets & singles here too. A powerful collection for the serious collector, generally Fine to Very Fine. Shipping charges apply - weight 28 lbs. (PDF for this Lot) (Video for this lot) (Video2 for this lot) (Image)
