image Extensive Collection of Mint Never Hinged Stamps,1976 to 2005, Housed in 21 Red Lighthouse Albums, each with its matching slipcase (these retail at $119 each, for a total of $2,499 alone). Appears to be very close to complete for the period, with quantities of extra and collateral material. The collection includes many blocks, matched sets of plate blocks, coils, souvenir sheets, and booklets, with many displayed in more than one copy to feature the front, inside and back of the booklet. We counted only values 10c and more for the face value given, and the collection includes a lot of material below 10c. Some of the notable quantities or values include the "P" (x216), $5 (x24), $2 (x45), $1.55 (x65), $1.25 (x44), $1.05 (x132), 90c (x212), and there are 12,000 stamps in the 39c to 52c range (see the attached complete inventory for full details). The collection is complemented by many newspaper articles and extracts from Canada Post new issue press releases. An impressive collection, definitely worth a close inspection to better appreciate the care given and value involved, and would be great lot for either the postage user, or Canada collector. (Image)
