image Worldwide Mint and Used Collection in a 4-Volume Citation Album to 1981, together with a mint USA collection 1945 to 1987 and a mint Vatican City collection to 1987. The worldwide collection is mainly used and about 15 to 20% mint. More than one set of pages was used to make up the album so a certain level of duplication should be expected. We found a few glassine interleaves to be stuck to pages. The collector was also partial to blocks and pairs, she also included many extra singles on added blank pages. The collection houses many thousands of stamps and is strongest in Canada, the USA, Europe, China and a few British Commonwealth countries. The Vatican City collection is mostly complete MNH from 1945 on, with only a few used copies and the occasional duplication. Comes with one stockbook of mint modern stamps and blocks from Spain, France and Canada and a box of glassines. Mostly fine to very fine and well worth a close look. (Image)

image Worldwide Dealer Stock in 20 Red Boxes, most of which are like-new and are full of 102 cards with alphabetically-sorted material, with most having catalogue number and catalogue value. We checked a dozen or so items cataloguing over $20 and the current prices were all about 10-20% higher now. There is a large variety of different countries represented, as well as a large variety of material for most of those countries. A difficult lot to do justice to in words or photographs, so we strongly urge you to come view this one in person to better appreciate. A great lot for dealers as we anticipate the return of "show season". (Image)

image Worldwide Collections of Mint and Used From Over 30 Countries, including singles, sets, souvenir sheets, booklets, part-sheets and full sheets. Countries with more than several pages of content include a full black-paged stockbook of Nicaragua, manila stock sheets of St. Pierre et Miquelon, Iceland on album pages, a Switzerland year set from 1987, Laos on loose Minkus pages, Sweden in manilla stock sheets, Belgium in dealer cards, South American countries on quadrille pages (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil), and a number of printer's proofs from Chad. The sheet material includes mostly CTO examples from Dubai, Romania and Hungary, along with a few Caribbean islands. There are also several bags of stamps in glassines and envelopes, likely containing more than 5,000 primarily loose, off-paper stamps. Overall fine or better throughout, though we note that some of the stamps in glassines or envelopes and roughly half of the sheets have slight to major adhesion to other sheets or themselves (folded in half, gum side in), still useful to collectors or dealers alike. This lot promises many hours of sorting and organizing, mounting and cataloguing. See our online photos for a glimpse of the contents. (Image)

A huge lot, containing mostly mint material from before the end of the 1990s, much of which has late-1990s asking prices.

We note singles, complete sets, tons of souvenir sheets, sheetlets, booklets, blocks, plate blocks, gutter blocks, and more. One album has a large group of 1992 World Columbian Exposition souvenir sheets, another contains many imperforate issues from French colonies, a few others contain only material from British Colonies, one has a stock of British Commonwealth Christmas issues, one contains Israel plate blocks, etc. Also includes two large "Norman Rockwell" albums containing full sheets of stamps depicting the subject.

Duplication will be found, usually up to about 5-10 of some items. Way too much material to list here, and if there was only one lot you should see in person to better appreciate its value and contents, this is it. (Image)

image Lifetime Topical Collection in 53 Stockbooks, consisting of thousands of mostly mint stamps, but also some used and some covers for the following topics, sorted in each of the stockbooks: Cactuses (extensive, several stockbooks), Minerals (includes gems, mining, chemicals, etc. in several stockbooks), succulents, diabetes, Royal Weddings, geological features, penguins, fossils, volcanoes, salt, snowflakes, gold, and much more. A lovely collection which was obviously well curated, with mostly complete sets, souvenir sheets, sheetlets, a few proofs and imperforates and covers. Two items have stuck to the pages, else a very fine and fresh collection. Some of the stockbooks contain sets that are missing one or more stamps that have been moved to the section for that topic. Also includes two copies of "The World of Minerals Through Postage Stamps". A great addition to an existing collection or an extensive start to a new way of collecting. Our several pictures only give a small idea, we recommend seeing this one in person to better appreciate all of the work and expense involved in growing this collection. (Image)

While we did not attempt to identify any stamps in these three crammed stockbooks, we noted items with various catalogue values, some Canada and USA revenues with possibly more from other countries and some duplication.

This collection obviously took many years to assemble, and would be a fun project to continue. Owner's complete inventory accompanied on a USB stick, and owner's 2012 Scott catalogue value for the stamps alone was $883. Scans only show a small portion of the lot, we recommend viewing it in person to better appreciate the value and variety present. (Image)
