image Collection / Accumulation of Mostly Mint Never Hinged Plate Blocks, all neatly sorted and identified in 4 dealer binders in "101" pages. The group range is from Scott #286 to 2410, with the majority of the material being from the 1950s to the 1980s. The owner has prepared a complete inventory (all 10 pages scanned online), which shows that there is duplication ranging from one plate block to 12, as well as showing the different plate numbers, corners, the fact that there are many matched sets, etc. As well, we note a great quantity of catalogue number suffixes, such as p, pi, pii, piii, pv, etc., making for a good variety of material. All very clean, majority is NH (a few items are indicated as being hinged) and overall very fine. (Image)
