Mint and Used Netherlands Collection on Quadrille Pages in Three Springback Albums, 1852-1996, a comprehensive collection which is a mix of mint and used up to about the 1960s, then becomes mint to the end. The collection abounds with items not listed in Scott such as shades, perforations or printings, so we have counted all those as least expensive in Scott. There are a lot of extra items, such as a good number of sheetlets mounted beside the issued stamps, a few WWII era covers, some booklets, coil pairs, etc. We estimate the collection to be complete in range except for a very few missing items. A few of the better mint items we came across include #s 33 ($900), 52 ($200), 53 ($400), 54 ($700), 74 ($150), 100 ($225), C13-14 ($250) , used #133 ($200) and many more. The back of the book is equally strong but not as complete, and has a good number of Postage Due types, etc. Overall nice quality, although the hinging tends to be on the strong side. See our many photos online for a good idea, better yet plan on seeing it in person before the sale. Catalogue value is for all items only up to 1960 and does not include 1961 to 1996 which appears to be complete. (Image)
