image United States Selection Group of Used Classics in 102 Cards, 1857 to 1901, each identified by owner, with our corresponding 2019 catalogue value. A nice quality group, with many high catalogue items and includes many very fine or better centred stamps, some with better postmarks, etc. Some items (for example one that was identified as having no grill) were not counted in catalogue value, although some which were doubtful were counted, but as cheapest variant. A nice lot which deserves a close look to better appreciate the value and quality involved. Also includes a page of mint and used early Special Delivery stamps, not included in the catalogue value (which should add nicely to it). Online scans only show a portion of the lot. (Image)

Appears to be nearly complete from 1930 to 1986 with a few earlier ones from the 1800s and early 1900s such as the Columbian Exposition (1c to 5c).
