British Commonwealth, "Counter Offer" Mint Souvenir Sheets, Booklets & Blocks in Counter Books, 1958-2020, Ascension, B.A.T., Bermuda, B.I.O.T., Cyprus, Falklands, Gibraltar, Malta, Mauritius, South Georgia, and Tristan da Cunha, all housed in seven counter books with incredible mint stock of strictly souvenir sheets, booklets and se-tenant blocks & strips right up almost to the present day. Some better earlier material, like Ascension 84a, Cyprus 226a (3), and a complete booklet containing all five panes from Tristan da Cunha's first QEII series, but the emphasis is unquestionably on the modern era, with many items in duplication but not crazy amounts, normally just one or two extras. Two books can be viewed online, but be sure to check out our other offerings, as this is just part of the vast holdings from a former stamp dealer on the West Coast, whose meticulous work in organizing and identifying each item, along with condition and catalogue value, makes this an ideal lot for the reseller as all the work has already been done, Fine to Very Fine, approximately $9,500 in total cat.
