DR. HOFFMAN'S EXTENSIVE HIGH QUALITY MATCH AND MEDICINE COLLECTION, includes over six hundred ALL DIFFERENT neatly arranged on Vario stock pages, the stamps are pretty much in Scott number order, includes Match, Medicine, Perfume and Playing Cards issues, this collection was put together from a massive M & M accumulation belong to Dr. Hoffman who spend 40 years buying high quality M & M' stamps, sometimes he would have 2-3 or more of each issue and paper as part of the accumulation, we took the "best of the best" from this lot and put together the collection offered here, we can't stress enough how much better the overall the quality is than virtually any other M & M collection we have ever offered, there many, many stamps here which would easily retail at ten times catalog or more, even with the super high quality there are still faults to be expected which is always the norm for a collection of this type, values generally in the $10-100 range with some up to $400 or more, some of the higher catalog items include: RO5a, 32b, 33b,c, 37b, 46a, 68a, 76a, 88c, 90a, 91b, 94c, 96b, 102a, 119b-d, 163e, 178b, 182a, RS4f, 27e, 40c, 43a, 48b, 53b, 55b, 65e, 68a-c, 70b, 71c, 73b, 75e, 93d, 100b, 111b-d, 115c, 116a-d, 117b-d, 130b, 165b, 168c, 169b,d, 173j, 174bi, 174c, 179a,d, 189b-d, 205b, 215b, 235b,d, 264b,c, 265d, 267a, 277b,c, 308-10, 311-12, 314-15, RT10c, 11b-d, 21b, 25b, 29b,d, 30c, 32c,d, RU2a, 7d, 8a, 10a, the combination of variety and high quality make this collection one of the finest we have ever offered in the 40 years selling M & M collections, it is in our estimation that if an individual were to go into the marketplace and acquire each of these stamps in a one-at-a-time basis, that the stamps alone would retail in the $75,000-100,000 range not including all the costs which would be incurred buying these stamps at auction, internet, retail, show etc., this is one of those very rare opportunities to obtain an extensive collection with dozens of higher catalog value stamps and a collection in which the overall quality is way, way above the norm for this area of Philately, we have scans of every page and every stamp available on our website so the serious bidder can see the overall scope of this very important collection, I would be happy to discuss this collection personally with any interested bidder (Image)
