Unsorted Lot of Over 1,000 Cards in Two Shoe Boxes, all with fine or better quality strikes of mostly non-London towns, includes some covers, and mostly unchecked by us but a quick glance at the few items annotated by the owner reveals some higher rarity factors, some indicia varieties, etc. We note a large variety of different towns or hammers, with overall fine condition, with some covers roughly opened. A possible opportunity for finds, as it does not look like the owner had the opportunity to sort and or identify most of these. Inspection recommended.
