Virtually Complete Mint Collection of Andorra, French Administration, 1931-2020, neatly displayed in hingeless mounts, in a Lighthouse album, with slipcase. The collection is very nearly complete, with a range from Scott #1/827, along with postage dues ranging from J1-J62, and airmails ranging from C1-C8. Just a few highlights include #s 1-22 (l.h., c.v. $1,170 total), 23-65A (m.h., $661 total), J9-J15 (m.h., $546 total). Owner's 2018 Scott catalogue value totals $5,652, but our observation is that this number has gone up by perhaps 20% in some cases. A spot check indicated primarily lightly hinged stamps from 1931 up to 1975, with almost exclusively never hinged material post-1975. A very clean collection that will appeal to collectors, or dealers looking for stock. Very fine throughout, online photos show a sampling. (Image)
