Large Quantity of Russia in Several Stockbooks, with 14 medium to larger stockbooks as well as stock pages in three binders. The stamps are usually arranged in a single layer and fill most of the pages, ranging from classics to the 1980s. Included are some stamps of the Russian Offices Abroad as well as other Russia area plus many souvenir sheets. We noted numerous stamps in the $5 to $10 range of catalogue value. Although duplicated, there is an excellent variety of material. There is considerable value in the stockbooks themselves as well. We estimate there to be more than 8,000 stamps in this lot.
