Within this large collection, we noted Scott #s 1 (c.v. $850, heavy cancel), 3 used (c.v. $875), 4 used ($1,900). Also mint never hinged souvenir sheets 614a (c.v. $225) and 620a (c.v. $155), mint hinged 662-9 (c.v. $134), as well as two sets of 747-8, one is mnh (c.v. $297), the other is hinged (c.v. $140).

We noted the long Angola birds set 333-356 (c.v. $225, gum faults, and 5 highest values are no gum) and the mint Nyassa set 44-6 (c.v. $157) among many interesting items, usually in complete sets.
