Mint Never Hinged Collection in 11 Schaubek Springback Albums with Slipcovers, 1967-2003, the owner counted over 14,700 different stamps, all neatly mounted in clear mounts, totaling $7,400 in face value. This expanded collection includes booklets, souvenir sheets, sheetlets and all possible combinations of tab/stamp or se-tenant issues. For example, 21 pages were required to show all the combinations for the 1970 Christmas low values. No great rarities within, but just a really solid coverage of the issues in this period, useful both for postage, or for collecting / adding to. Very fine and fresh throughout, please have a look in person to better appreciate this one. (Image)

Old Time Accumulation of Canada and Worldwide in a Box, this box is exactly as received and from an "attic find". It weighs 4.2kg (box included) and contains thousands of on and off paper stamps, all of which appear to be from the late 1800s to the 1920s (for Canada, Small Queens to Admirals). Many of the stamps appear to have been accumulated for their postmarks, and the ones that are still on piece have been cut close to the postmarks, thus leaving the postmarks intact and very little paper attached. Countries noted (in order of importance) are Canada, USA, bit of Germany, and perhaps more, as we have not looked beneath the top layer, both to describe the lot or to take the three photographs found online. We highly recommend viewing this one in person to better appreciate the postmark and stamp interest in this box, as it is undoubtedly unpicked and may hold some nice finds. (Image)

Old Time Hoard / Stock of Mostly Used, starts off with a box with many hundreds of loose mostly older on and off paper, noting many Small Queens and such, with good postmark interest such as squared circles, saw a 3c SQ with a nice Crown cancel, etc. Also a box full of #10 envelopes with old time used stock from about 1900 to 1940, sorted by issue, with better such as many Admiral denominations, Edwards, 50c Grand Pré, and more, all in quantities between one and hundreds of each issue. Lastly there is a box full of 1950s-60s bundleware, a box of on and off paper from roughly the 1930s to 1960s (with a bit of worldwide mixed in) and a folder containing old album pages with a few stamps. A stock card contains only a few of the nice things our very brief inspection revealed, including a very fine used 50c Bluenose, 20c Grain Exhibition used with broken X, very fine used 5c and 10c Québec Tercentenary and a mint 8c Jubilee. A great lot as it has remained unseen since the early 1960s and is very likely to reveal some goodies, such as varieties, postmarks (saw a good quantity of nice c.d.s. town cancels) and more. Inspection is recommended to better appreciate. (Image)

Accumulation of Used in a Jam-Packed Bankers Box, 1890s to 1990s, with many thousands of stamps and a few covers, on and off-paper, in an overflowing stockbook, a 2" stack of loose home-made pages, several clear bags and many envelopes. We saw definitive and commemorative issues with many c.d.s. postmarks, along with Officials, some revenues, precancels, coils and some blocks. There is one plastic tub containing 90 individually-sorted envelopes of Numerals (½c to 5c) and Edwards (1c and 2c) with 100 in each envelope - we noted c.d.s. postmarks, a few precancels and a few RPOs in our very quick look. The covers include some Schering FDCs and CAPEX 1978 items. This fairly clean accumulation would be ideal for the avid sorter and we suspect there are finds to be had.
