Costa Rica, "Counter Offer" Mint Souvenir Sheets, Booklets & Blocks in Counter Books, 1937-2019, Housed in two counter books, incredible mint stock made up almost entirely of souvenir sheets, booklets and se-tenant blocks & strips right up almost to the present day. Some better earlier material, like #312a (3), 348a-68a, 385 (2), C616a-28a (2), but the emphasis is unquestionably on the modern era, with many items in duplication but not crazy amounts, normally just one or two extras. This holding can be viewed in its entirety online, and be sure to also check out our other offerings, as this is just part of the vast holdings from a former stamp dealer on the West Coast, whose meticulous work in organizing and identifying each item, along with condition and catalogue value, makes this an ideal lot for the reseller as all the work has already been done, Fine to Very Fine, total cat in excess of $3,000. Shipping charges apply - weight 4.6 lbs. (Video for this lot) (Video2 for this lot) (Image)
