AUSTRALIA AND AREA COLLECTION, includes several hundred singles and sets, hinged in a Scott Speciality album, the collection runs to about 1980 and includes some B.O.B. material, this extensive collection is very strong in States, we noticed many items with values in the $100-500 range and some even up to $1,000 in catalog value, the collection breaks down as follows: Australia ($4,800), New Guinea ($1,170), New So. Wales ($9,000), Queensland ($4,600), So. Australia ($2,600), Tasmania ($6,400), Victoria ($8,200), W. Australia ($4,500), Papua N. Guinea ($1,500) plus there is some Christmas Islands, Cocos Islands, Norfolk Islands and N.W. Pacific Islands, the overall condition is quite mixed with many of the 18th century items have faults which is normally the case for the States area, then as the material gets newer the quality improves substancially, we noticed many varieties presend also a good number of better cancels are scattered throughout, this collection is certainly one of the best and most valuable collections from this area that we have ever handled, it is being offered intact as received with many of the better items left in the collection, we have included many scans on our website of some of the better pages, without question a rare opportunity to obtain a very extensive and specialized collection intact, well worth careful consideration for the advanced collector who wants to jump into an area with most of the lower and medium value items included (Image)
