France, Magnificent Two-Volume Collection, 1849-1999, a superb, keenly built, virtually all mint (save for the 19th century issues) holding, housed in a pair of three-ring Scott Specialty albums; it's not often that you come across a collection that's easier to note what's not there, as opposed to what is—but this is certainly of them, with the 19th century issues missing only four stamps (#4 and 8, each offered as singles in our Flagship sale, plus #71 and 87); although the 1800s are primarily used, be sure to note the occasional mint surprise; moving into the 20th century, there's little to say other than it is complete mint less only four items, three of which will appear in our Flagship sales as well; this section is not only impressive and exhaustive in its coverage, but the percentage of never hinged items—even from the early 1900s—is astounding; Semi-Postals are complete mint less about a dozen items (see our Flagship again), with early never hinged sets which you rarely find; Airs are complete mint from #C5 on, and the Officials and Postage Dues are nicely represented as well, mostly Fine to Very Fine or better, a fabulous basis to just go ahead and finish; be sure to enjoy the imaging of this exceptional collection on the web.
