image Mostly U.S. Massive Stamp Hoard, 1850's-1990's, very messy lot as this collector was a 20 veteran of the Navy who enjoyed nothing more than spending his paycheck every Friday to get a weekly delivery from various auction houses. He loved nothing more than to sort through his treasures for the rest of the weekend. When the collection arrived here, before repacking, there were around 15 large boxes full of small shoe boxes, plastic bags stuffed with stamps, stock pages, loose album pages, etcetera, plus loose material in various odd sized boxes. We expect that to change slightly with repacking, but that should give you a good idea of the scope you will be looking at. There is some good news and bad news. The good news is, this lot has been untouched for at least two decades. The bad news is, unfortunately, sometime in the 1990's, some of the stamps were stored in various bedrooms and crawl spaces around the house, but some of the boxes were stored in the basement or barn, so some were damaged beyond salvageability from rodents and weather, so we took what we could and trashed the unsaleable. Expect to encounter some dust with a bit of mold from being forgotten about as this gentleman's health declined over his last couple decades. This lot will require some careful sorting to milk it for its full value. When we were sorting through this lot we found $50 and $100 items mixed with piles of junk all around. Usually when we offer these lots, we find collectors will sort through the junk and dump 95% of the material into another auction or donate it to a children's group and find the remaining 5% pays off well for the cost of the lot and the time it took to properly sort through it. Condition will vary as some boxes are musky, but much of the material is still in collectable condition and ready to be sorted for breakdown, generally Fine to Very Fine appearance. Shipping charges apply - weight 317 lbs. (Image)
