image Worldwide Group of 12 Mint and Used Country Collections on Steiner Pages, from Asia and Africa. Most notable is a China and Republic of China collection to 1957 with hundreds of stamps and Egypt to 1968. Also included are Liberia, Afghanistan, Jordan, Lebanon, Iran, Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam. Most have pages to the 1970s or 1980s; Lebanon is an exception with pages to 2000.

We could only give a cursory look at this large volume of stamps.

The scans of items we found in the box of loose stamps can only give a faint idea of what is to be found in this lot. Inspect for better finds. (Image)

image Worldwide Mint and Used Collection in 42 Scott International Albums with Pages to 2017, a mainly used large collection, notable for including a high number of very recent stamps, well into 2017. Owner’s partial count is just over 120,000 stamps for just 28 of the 42 albums, and based on this, we estimate the total count to be over 150,000. Most of the collection is used but we found many mint hinged stamps mostly in recent years. Canada is near complete to 2009 (used) with a $2 Jubilee (smeared cancel). We also noted China 1 candarin Imperial Dragon (CV $400 as cheapest variety), France with Scott #1, 3 and 9 (CV $910), 21 repaired (CV $2,475) as well as many Peace and Commerce issues, Great Britain 2-margin Penny Black, also Scott #34 MH (CV $1,900), green horizontal £1 Victoria Scott #124 (CV $800), 12 copies of Japan Offices in China Scott #30 (CV $140 each). USA is about 80% complete with much recent. Other countries with high number of stamps until 2015 or even 2017 include France, Germany, Australia, Egypt, Great Britain (to 2011), Greece, Israel, Japan, Sweden, Tunisia and Turkey. Many other countries are highly complete for specific periods such as Argentina 2000-2005, Austria 1960-2000, Brazil to 1995, PRC 1988-2000, Czechoslovakia to 1992, Finland to 2003, Hungary to 1994, Indonesia 1983-2014, Italy 1952-1990, Nepal 1965-1996, Norway 1975-2001, Poland to 2004, Romania 1960-1998, Russia 1955-1995, Spain to 2004, to name only a few. There is way too much to list here, and our numerous scans can only provide an overview of this large collection. Faults noted on some earlier material, otherwise overall fine to very fine, and over 200 scans are available on our website. (Image)
