Europa

Large holding of mostly mint Europa stamps, 1956-1990s, in albums, dealer stock books, and 102-cards, including a three-volume album set with clear mounts on White Ace pages (1956-1990), at least 90% complete and 90% mint, much never hinged; an estimated 1,500 102-cards of dealer stock with a good mix of mint and used, surely hundreds of sets across three dozen or more countries and regions (including some cinderellas); and 6 dealer binders and 2 stock books with a substantial percentage of mint stamps in singles, blocks and souvenir sheets, as well as more than 100 First Day Covers in a Uni-Safe album (1958 Belgium to 1988 Switzerland), with many very colourful cachets and nearly all envelopes unaddressed. The value here is not necessarily in individual stamps but in the breadth of material with such a large number of sets in mint and used, and the prospect to add useful stock to a dealer inventory, such as Luxembourg Sc. #318-320 ‘Reconstruction of Europe’ VFH (c.v. $65) and used (c.v. $42), Netherlands 369 VFH (c.v. $24), a nice run of Greece booklets to 1993, San Marino 490 VFNH (c.v. $26) illustrate the prospective value, with hundreds of 102-cards at $1-$3 to $3, $5, $8 and more. Some duplication throughout as to be expected in such a lot but not extreme, with used values generally up to 15 copies, generally well organized overall and where numbered, appears accurate, clean and overall very fine; online provides an overview of the complete lot.
