Plate Block Collection, 1973-1987, all neatly displayed in seven Uni-Safe binders with slip cases. Each block (several hundreds) is different in some way, as the collector attempted to own four corners of every plate, four corners of field stock (no plate inscription, some can only be obtained in one or the other format), etc for each issue, including high values. Assumed to be all never hinged (most are indicated as such by owner) but unchecked by us. A good opportunity.

image Collection on 26 Lighthouse Pages, with NS, PEI and Newfoundland. This mostly mint collection was unfortunately once damaged by water. The stamps were mostly all taken out of their mounts to dry, then placed back in. Some have resulted in unused (no gum) condition, some still have some gum which is mostly glazed by the mounts, a few have had their ink melt onto the page and some are undamaged. This collection would have catalogued quite high, and will need careful inspection to see the extent of the damage, which varies. The collection has been gone through to establish a "market value" ($2,623) which was used to perform an insurance claim. Sold as is, see scans online for an idea of the general appearance. (Image)
