Extensive collection remainders in 22 albums with minor duplication, well picked-over but with a high number of fine to outstanding strikes, includes numbers rated RR x300+, RRR x120+ and RRRR x45 comprising '22'.4 x2, '35'.1, '41'.1, '50'.4, '59'.1, '67'.1, '77'.1, '103'.1 x2, '104'.1, '128'.1, '169'.1, '208'.1, '227'.1, '258'.1, '262'.1, '293'.1, '317'.1, '406', '485'.2, '542'.1, '763', '776', '874', '1048', 'M72'.1, 'MC/16'.1, 'MCCC/85'.1, 'MCCCC', 'MCCCC/10', 'MCCCC/31', 'MCCCC/32', 'MD/1', 'MD/67', 'MD/86', '1786', '1823', '1894'.1, '1935', '1948' x2, '1965', '2073' & '2074'. The quality of the strikes throughout is very mixed but we are confident that most if not all of those listed are correct: others we queried - including a couple rated RRRRR - have not been included in our count or estimate. Personal inspection is highly recommended. A fine basis for serious expansion, or opportunity for a re-seller. (few 1000)

Estimate AU$5,000
