Worldwide, A Truly Massive A-Z, Mainly Mint N.H. Well Organized Dealers Stock, 1920's-1990's. All housed in 56 large red boxes with 250 to 400 large size glassines, on average, in each box this is a perfect holding for online sales or to even jump start a stamp business. About 85% is mint N.H. with some earlier material L.H. and some better sets mint + used, This quality conscious dealer's family was buying new issues from the late 1920's up to 2000 and much is in blocks or even some folded sheets are to be found. Usually in most stocks you have off-quality 19th century, not in this exceptional inventory. The only 19th is a small part of the Netherlands, and it appears that is all unless we missed something. France was a favorite country and four boxes reflect that as well. We couldn't possibly catalogue the entire stock but we did put pen to paper and the France has a Scott value of over $48,000 alone, consider France the strongest country and then recall that there are 52 more boxes crammed with salable material. As we reviewed this balance fairly quickly our notes are random and not in country order. Certainly we also missed many highlights and space nor time was available to list all. The stock is primarily comprised of sets and singles as issued plus souvenir sheets, prices range from Scott's minimum up to about $100 or so. The sweet spot is in the $10 to $50 range where value adds up quickly and quantities are generally 5 to 50 but can run higher even on better issues.
