INCREDIBLE HIGH QUALITY AND EXTENSIVE MATCH & MEDICINE COLLECTION, includes over 450 different Match, Medicine, Perfume and Playing Cards stamps, neatly arranged on black stock pages and quite ready to be mounted on album pages and in fact the collector had a set of unopened Aldrich M & M albums which are ofcourse included with this lot, this amazing collection has been put together by a very quality conscious collector and accumulated over many years of hunting and searching for the best quality available, values range from a few dollars and up to about $400 each with many in the $20-250 range, the overall condition is simply breathtaking especially for this area of philately, many of the stamps offered in this collection are VF-XF and some being Jumbo's, also amazing color throughout, there are faults to be expected but mostly of the minor variety, some of the higher priced items include: RO21a, 37a, 59a, 61b, 76a, 80c, 81b, 84a, 85b, 100b, 107a, 111a, 120d, 131b, 140c, 147a, 162d, 166c, 178a, 182a, 186a, RS41b, 42a, 48b, 48d, 49b, 54b, 57d, 61d, 65e, 66a, 71c, 73a, 110b, 117a, 117c, 123b, 128d, 129b, 129d, 130d, 133a, 134a, 137d, 143b, 147a-d, 148a-d, 149a-d, 155a-d, 156b-d, 157b-d, 159d, 168c, 174c, 205b, 209c, 212c, 213c, 215d, 219d, 224d, 230c, 233a, 235b, 235d, 243b, 260b, 277c, RT2dh, 9d, 10c, 11b, 15d, 24b, 25a, 29c, RU8a; there are several Experimental Silks, Double Transfers and plenty of Pink Papers in this collection, this is a difficult collection to evaluate given the superior quality but certainly there are a couple hundred stamps here which would retail at 5-10 times their catalog value and perhaps a few dozen which would retail easily over 10 times catalog, we have scanned every page of this collection so viewing will be a distinct pleasure and should help tremendously in determining the level of ones bid, but we strongly suggest viewing this lot in person in order to fully appreciate the overall quality here, strangely enough we offered a similiar lot in our last ABC Auction, that lot contained 200 stamps, with some duplication, it cataloged over $6,800 and realized $18,400 or nearly three times the catalog value, we estimated the retial value of that lot in the $25-30k range if bought individually over many, many years, this lot certainly has a very similar appeal except that it is ALL DIFFERENT and contains over 450 stamps and the total catalog is just over $20,000, it is our estimate that if one bought all these stamps over a period of several years the cost would surely exceed double catalog or over $40,000, this collection is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to obtain a huge number of high quality stamps all at one time, viewing will be a huge advantage to the serious bidder and if you are thinking of jumping into this always popular area and you have high quality constraints - do not let his opportunity pass, it may be a very long time before we see a collection like this again, a detailed inventory of this collection is available, (ENV 20,000-25,000) (Image)
