Lot Description

1657

Extensive Mostly Mint Collection, 1913 to 1996, the main collection is displayed in two stockbooks, and includes most complete sets in mint, sometimes mint and used and sometimes mixed, with some sets being duplicated, sometimes up to three. From 1950 and on, there is usually a mint and a CTO of each issue. The collection holds a great many $50 to $100 or more sets, too many to list, but our online photos will give a good idea. We lotted the first issues in the singles and sets part of this catalogue, and the rest of the collection is intact, as received. We catalogued all issues, including the back of the book only up to 1960 and it comes to $7,445 ($2,247 is back of the book). After 1960, we assume the collection is complete, including souvenir sheets and many imperforates, up to 1996 (and should add a few thousand dollars more to the c.v.). Also not counted in the catalogue value is a stockbook filled with another collection, as well as a collection in a Minkus album (1920s to 1967) and Scott Specialty (1960-65). Also includes 10 covers from 1932 to 1938 mailed to various countries, incl. diplomatic mail, all sold to the owner by George Wegg in 1993 for $150 (some of the covers are ex. Allan Steinhart).
