Australia and Area Stock of Mint and Used Filling Five Red Boxes, all neatly sorted in roughly 4,000 dealer 102 cards with Scott numbers and with the majority of cards having retail prices shown (roughly 85% of the cards). The lot includes three red boxes from Australia (includes a small selection of States), a red box of New Zealand, and a box of Papua New Guinea, with material generally ranging from the 1890s to 2016, with the possibility of material being on either side of the range. Duplication generally ranges from 1 to 10, and we roughly estimate there to be 20% mint stamps and 80% used stamps. A spot check indicated the majority of stamp retail $5 and under, noting some stamps and a few sets retailing $10 and up. We note a few faults with the early material. Generally fine to very fine.
