Great Britain, "Collection Fit for a King" of Mostly Used, 1840-1936, In a hingeless Palo album with many extras, we realize from the very first page that this is no ordinary collection. After a brief bio of Sir Rowland Hill, we are presented with a brief letter with his autograph. It is no surprise that the "Penny Black" would be next, but not just one, seven of them; four are on cover, the first used during its first month of release in May 1840; also, an off-cover example of plate 11, the rarest of all. Next up is the infamous Mulready letter sheet followed by specimens of the "Penny Pink" and 2p blue, the first two postal envelopes of Britain. Only then do we finally get to page one of the stamps, and what a page it is! Many juggernaut stamps can be found throughout this collection including Gibbons-only varieties; Scott #5-7 are here, each with at least three margins, and many other stamps cataloging over $1,000, like #23 (with certificate), 32d (unpriced in Scott), 56, 57a, 74-75, 90, 93 (repaired), 110; also, some mouth-watering mint, numerous scarer plate numbers, and a slew of powerhouse covers. Instead of boring you with even more numbers, see the links below for a view of most of this glorious collection which really is fit for a king! Condition does vary, but generally Fine to Very Fine.
