image Sweden Extensive Collection of Commemorative Cancels on Covers, 1942-1980, with well over 4,500 covers, all housed in 36 cover albums. A comprehensive collection which would have taken several years to assemble, and even though there is duplication of stamps, all of the postmarks appear to be different. The owner tabulated a 2013 catalogue value for the used stamps alone, which at the time came to over $2,200. The first 12 albums have glue between each cover glassine, which has caused glue residue to some extent, on many or most of the covers, sometimes on the back, sometimes on the front sometimes none at all. The rest of the albums are fine. A great opportunity to acquire what appears to be a mostly complete collection in period. (Image)
