Mostly Mint Collection on Black Stock Pages, 1852-2000, very strong in the 1852-1879 issues, with 66 stamps, most of which are mint. Identification is very clear for some such as 1, 4, 8-9, 33-35, 38 and 43 but many of the others need an expert's touch (see scans). All in all this section will catalogue well over $10,000. The remainder of the collection is quite complete from 1892-1970 with all of the better mint sets, such as 69-80, 81-89, 90-101, 102-12, 116-26, 127-39, 140-51, 152-64, 165-79, 216-27 (NH), 235-47 (NH), etc. Becomes more scattered from 1971 to 2000 but there are some better such as the 1994 Ship set (872-85). Fine to very fine, all pages are scanned. (Image)
