image Mostly Mint Collection on Lighthouse Hingeless Pages, 1861-1985, starts off with a mix of mint and used, then quickly turns to mint only from 1903 to the end. The early issues include three plate proofs and a variety of issues in average condition, and from the mid-1920s-on the collection is close to complete, including coils usually in line pairs, souvenir sheets or sheetlets, imperforate varieties, and no back of the book. The mint stamps are scattered with a few hinged before the 1920s, then mostly never hinged to the end, and a few very early will have no gum, or doubtful gum. Overall nice quality, and although the pages themselves smell of tobacco, the stamps are probably intact. Also comes with Commemorative Stamp Collections for 1992, 1993 and 1995 (x2) plus "Music" (Elvis), "Wildflowers" and "Legends of the West" and a 1995 Commemorative Stamp Collection missing 4 items. These alone have a face value of $148. See scans for a small sampling. (Image)

image Mostly Mint Collection on Davo Hingeless Pages, 1851-1997, starts off with used #s 9, 14 (2006 PSE cert graded VF-XF 85), 15, followed by 68 different used stamps and 37 mint up to 1915. From then on to the end the collection appears to be complete and the stamps are mostly all mint, with a mix of hinged and never hinged at first, becoming mostly never hinged from the late 1920s. We note coils, souvenir sheets, lots of postage up to the 32c era, and more, but does not contain back of the book. The quality is overall nice, and even though the pages themselves smell of tobacco, the stamps appear intact when removed. The collection is accompanied by 15 PSE and PF certificates dated between 1985 and 2007, for stamp #s 14, 135, 160, 166, 190, 276, 348, 374, 381, 395, 407, 432, 458 and 587, many are graded mostly VF-XF 85. See online scans for a glimpse of this nice collection. (Image)
