Japan from a massive worldwide collection to 1985. Loaded with classics, several of which are marked “sanko” (reference) or “mazo” (imitation), while others appear to be genuine. An expert’s eye may be needed for full evaluation. Beyond the classics, the collection is full of useful items including Parks sheets (283a, 288a,and 453a), other souvenir sheets (such as B11), better airs (mint pheasants and C19-24), high face count, and more. Deserving of a thorough review. (Image)
