image Mint and Used Extensive Collection, 1956 to 2015, starts with six White Ace Albums containing stamps from 1956 to 1994, with a mix of mint and used, including lots of never hinged, singles, sets, souvenir sheets (we note many from Monaco), etc. Some of the sets are duplicated, but this will usually be to show a mint and a used. We estimate the collection to be about 90% complete, perhaps a little less in the recent years. Also includes a 2005 specialized Europa catalogue, checklists of what countries issued what stamps, some useful ephemera material, articles, a scarce set of 5 Italian new issue pamphlets for the first 5 common design issues, as well as hundreds of newer mostly never hinged stamps (mid-1990s up to about 2015), including a few imperforates such as the 1958 France set imperforate, etc, all just waiting to be put into albums. We note in these souvenir sheets, sets, etc. A great basis for continuation, with high original purchase price and overall nice quality. (Image)
