Mostly China-Related Topical Accumulation, a sheer plethora of material, filling (as received by us) an 11x11x17 moving box, presented every which way possible: in glassines, in binders of stockpages, in stacks and loose; majority of items are tied in one way or another to China, celebrating the Lunar New Year, picturing Chinese landmarks or artworks, acquired at events, etc., with a scope that is truly global; note singles and sets, First Day Covers, a souvenir folder or two, and much more besides, including face from the US (amongst which are 30 $3 Mars Pathfinder sheets) and Canada (several Chinese New Year panes, along with a sealed package (we assume 50) of Hong Kong '97-overprinted Year of the Ox souvenir sheets); those items that are not China-themed still offer Topical interest with Animals and Plants dominating, along with a decent holding of 1960s-70s Japan; generally bright and fresh, and a healthy stock for the dealer, Very Fine on the whole, well worth the time to inspect.
