China (People's Republic), Collection, 1949-1989. Neatly presented in 4 quadrille page albums, containing a vast array of material largely complete for the period and lacking only some of the rarest items; reprints and forgeries have been astutely avoided; some of the highlights include 35-48, 141-150 blocks of 4, 357a, 542-59, 566a Table Tennis Championship souvenir sheet, 620-27 Opera set, 716-31, 761-82 with 782a souvenir sheet; many Cultural Revolution sets & singles, including 943a & 948a strips of 5 (folded), 949-56, 982-90, 996a strip of 5 (folded); most of the better souvenir sheets including 1383a, 1399, 1433, 1452, 1492, 1518, 1540-41; 1586 1980 Monkey New Year, 1626-7 Exhibition sheets of 20; and much much more too numerous to mention; most of the best items are never hinged; condition is exceptional and this extensive showing is rarely offered; careful inspection will be greatly rewarded; 2010 Scott catalog value in excess of $28,000 with much later material not counted, o.g., hinged or never hinged (no photo). Scott No. 1-M1  Estimate $10,000 - 15,000. $0
