Extensive Topical Bee Collection, assembled over many years, the collector was able to obtain lots of very unusual and challenging material pertaining to bees, bee hives, apiculture, humour about bees, beekeeping, honey, etc., with stamps covers, post cards, postmarks, stickers, collector cards, cinderellas, booklets, cigar labels, and more. A lovely assembly of material, just waiting to be written-up on collection, or exhibit pages. Overall very fine and would have been expensive to purchase. (Image)

Extensive Collection of Disabilities Topicals, with blindness, deafness, physical disabilities, Paralympics, crippled children and much more, all in 8 binders of stockbooks, plus a shoebox with just covers and cards. There is a wide variety of subjects covered here and a great lot of material, and we note the essential topical requirements for an exhibit, such as postmarks, stamps, covers, souvenir sheets, proofs, die proofs, maxima cards, research material and much more. We note some items signed by Rick Hanson, Dr. Jonas Salk. Part of this lot is an exhibit which has been shown, and which has since been going through several new changes, with new material, etc, so this whole lot is a work in progress, just waiting for someone to put it together and exhibit it. A lovely group of material, with very nice quality throughout and high replacement cost.

Extensive Collection of Pope Saint John Paul II, all neatly displayed in black Vario pages in 9 Lighthouse binders with their slip cases. Each album contains First Day covers, commemorative covers, souvenir sheets, souvenir folders, mint never hinged stamps singles and sets, all commemorating his life and many travels around the world. During his 28 year Papacy (1978 to 2005) he visited 129 different countries, many of which (possibly most or all) are represented here. The average number of pages contained in each album is about 40, and most are two-sided 4-pocket pages, for an approximate total of over 2,800 different items. A lovely and clean collection, put together after several years of care and attention and well worthy of continuation, although it might prove difficult to find items not already present.
