Vatican, Rock-Solid Collection, 1929-2007, a bit of a mash-up, consisting of two albums (one Scott Specialty, one an Italian Euralbo hingeless), plus material loose; the albums are largely mint with the vast majority never hinged from our spot-checks; Scott album runs to 1978 with Airs, Special Deliveries and Dues; Euralbo album goes to 1962 with similar Back-of-the-Book offerings, the two albums combined allowing you to mix-and-match complete sets, with duplicates to swap or sell; the collection then peters out a bit, but picks up again with First-Day cancelled oversized envelopes from the Post Office with mid- to late-2000s issues franking, along with joint issues, a few miniature sheets, etc.; clean and bright throughout, with each album offering better sets, Airs and second-printing Papal Arms Dues, Very Fine, build your collection or stock with this one, various signed.
