Collections / Accumulations of Mint and Used Stamps From Asian Countries, with a few thousand stamps in roughly 100 manilla and Vario-style stock pages housed in 6 binders and 2 stockbooks. The lot begins with a stockbook containing accumulations of mint and never hinged Japan (organized by Scott number, along with catalogue values, provided by the owner), ranging from Scott #325/1420, and includes a few souvenir sheets. A cursory check of stamps indicated catalogue values $5 and under, with a few cataloguing $5 to $10 and up. The lot continues with mint Bhutan, generally ranging from the 1960s to the 1970s, and includes popular hologram stamps, noting sets cataloguing $20 and up. The lot concludes with 2 stockbooks containing accumulations of primarily used Russia, noting many definitives from the 1880s onward, along with a stockbook of mint Laos. Online photos show a sampling. Duplication up to 10 in some cases. Overall fine to very fine. (Image)

Selection of Asian Countries, in stockbooks and in a couple of presentation packs, with each stockbook tending to be dedicated to one country. There is a stockbook of mint never hinged Philippines with stamps of the 1970s / 1990s in singles and multiples, which includes imperforates. A thin stockbook contains Thailand mint never hinged blocks of four and souvenir sheets of the Brocades series. There is a stockbook for each of Japan, Lebanon and Qatar containing about 1,500 duplicated stamps among them, with about half of these being Japan. There is a similar, though thicker stockbook for Mongolia with material on stock pages as well, with about 800 stamps. There are a few presentation packs, such as one from The Bhutan Philatelic Bureau, appearing to be missing a few stamps, as well as a Japan presentation folder dated 1957 with various stamps hinged into it.
