Never before have we offered such a quantity of desirables mint sets and the most popular of the beautiful Belgium Semi-Postals: first ten sets of the 1918 Red Cross B34-B47, a difficult set to find one of mint and complete let alone ten!

Belgium, Comprehensive High-End Mint and Used Collection, 1849-2013. A very solid quality collection of many hundreds of mint and used singles, sets and souvenir sheets. Loaded with better high-value sets from $50 into the hundreds of dollars each, with a decent amount of never hinged as well, all mounted carefully on quadrille pages housed in two thick binders. The first volume begins with the 1849 issue with earlies mainly used, but we note a lovely four-margined copy of Scott 9, $225. The mint really begins with a fresh set of 60-75 $610. We note a used set of 108-122 Scott $151, Scott 172-184 never hinged $126, Scott 185-215 is present mint $279, a neatly cancelled 221 Scott $250, 229-236 mint $99, and much more mint going up to 2013 for a substantial total value, and only a very few sets are not present. The first volume of regular and commemorative issues was not catalogued but will have a significant Scott total. We did a Scott value for the Semi-Postals only before 1961 and it easily surpassed $6500. Only a cross-section of the Back-of-the-Book—Airmails, Special Deliveries, Dues, Newspapers, Parcel Posts and Railways—was catalogued and came to over $3300 with strong mint Parcel Post. Please review the online images to fully appreciate how nice the collection is. Perfect to break down for online sales. Condition is well above the norm with very few faults, mainly in the 19th Century, otherwise Fine-Very Fine. Shipping charges apply - weight 13.8 lbs.
