AMAZING, HUGE AND WELL-FILLED COMPLETELY INTACT 36 VOLUME SCOTT INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION OF THE ENTIRE WORLD TO 1990 comprising many tens of thousands of stamps and made by lifelong collector with diligence and care and with the ability (and more importantly the desire) to expend ample funds on his hobby. To make a list of the better countries would be to just mention the better counties that all collectors strive to obtain. The collection starts with excellent USA and onto excellent Europe, British Commonwealth, Latin America, Asia, Italy and Area, German area and extensive worldwide Colonial issues. The collection has many interspersed Scott specialty pages and blank Scott International pages for the hundreds of countries where the collector had multi hundred dollar catalog value stamps that there were not spaces for in the as printed Internationals. Overall, the are many tens of thousands of different stamps and literally hundreds of $250 and up scarcer stamps and even some rarities. Comprehensive collections of the world like this one are rarely made anymore and this collection (in nearly $7000 retail in albums alone) would well justify either continuing, or at our modest price considering the value of this collection, even breaking down for profitable resale (the collector's records show that he spent (not a catalog value but what he spent) $168,000 on this collection).

THE APPARENTLY COMPLETE SCOTT SPECIALTY SERIES TO 1940 - The pages have been put in fifteen Scott international binders, but they are the pages from the Scott Specialty series, that is, the pages with spaces for all Scott listed stamps to 1940. And this collection has many tens of thousands of them loaded with sets and singles to $1000 each including a mint Australia #132, the Liechtenstein Zeppelin airmails complete mint, excellent complete runs of classic French Colony sets, compelling Italian Colonies with many better mint sets, excellent British Commonwealth, great France, Japan, and China, Germany and Area, wonderful Latin America with many countries easily worthy of individual listing, and much more. There is an astonishing number of $100 and up mint sets, and we've removed nothing for individual sale. So many collectors have asked for collections on the Scott specialty pages to 1940 so that they could begin a collection of 1840-1940 worldwide philately-that is the first century of stamps, and here it is! Add to that are the many tens of thousands of stamps going a long way toward completion of the stamps of the world for the first hundred years and the enormous catalog value of this very high quality and lovingly made collection.

The selection includes half a dozen volumes with one stock book dedicated to modern Lesotho, one modern US plate blocks, and others, it even includes a pair of beautiful Palo hingeless albums with slipcases for modern US, even if empty.
