1925-1980 large specialized collection on 508 pages, in 9 large volumes (housed in three cartons), hundreds of mostly unused singles, sets and souvenir sheets issued from different countries to commemorate Nicolaus Copernicus (1472-1543), the famous Polish Renaissance and Reformation-era mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center of the universe. The collection includes stamps featuring Krakow and Torun (where Copernicus studied and lived), hundreds of covers and cards with commemorative cancels and slogans from Poland, some early issues, including WWII German occupation sheetlets, etc. An excellent nucleus for expansion, with many elusive Copernicus items, ex-Kalawski
