Eastern Europe, Mammoth Mint & Used Collection, 1864-2000. It's raining stamps! Literally, 1000's upon 1000's of stamps hinged on Minkus pages. All countries have a decent selection of early issues, but this is another lot where the modern era reigns supreme. Both Bulgaria and Romania have a nearly complete mix of mint and used through the 40's and into the mid-70's and a nearly complete run of mint through the 90's. Hungary has very few empty spots from the 20's on and has a mix of mint and used until the mid-80's, which then gives way to a virtually complete mint run until 2000. Czechoslovakia consists of a 50/50 mint and used collection with very few empty spots from 1945 on. You will also find an almost complete mint collection of both the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Yugoslavia is an extremely well-filled mix of mint and used to 1960, then virtually complete to 1999 with 95% mint. Also included with Yugoslavia are collections of Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro and Trieste. The Baltic States are also well represented here with mostly mint collections of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and including some of the better semi-postal and airmail sets. A very strong Albanian collection is also here consisting of about 50% mint. And we've saved the best for last, because probably the biggest highlight is Poland, an extremely well-filled mix of mint and used until the mid-60's, and from then on, an almost complete mint run until the year 2000. German occupation stamps, including what looks to be a complete collection of General Gouvernement round things out. This collection will keep you busy for quite some time, and there is endless interest for the topical collector too! Fine to Very Fine. Shipping charges apply - weight 21.4 lbs.
