Lot Description

1741

Set of High Quality Empty PRC and Provinces Albums, with three distinct groups of albums. First has illustrated pages printed by the Fidelity Trading Co. (Cypress, California) for People's Republic of China regular issues (1949 to 1979) with spaces for varieties, early issues have spaces for issued stamps as well as reprints, souvenir sheets, etc. The second set is printed on heavy bond paper and prepared by Michael Rogers Inc. and has pages for PRC Provinces, with the same degree of completeness. The third is a single album printed by the N.C. Yang Stamps and Coins (Hong Kong) and covers PRC from 1949 to 1967, with sections for Commemoratives, Special Issues, Cultural Revolution Special Issues and Regular Issues. The great majority of the pages in this lot are new, some have clean black mounts, and all are housed in special leather albums (all do not match). There appears to be duplication of some of the pages, and some of the pages are not necessarily in order, but this can be quickly remedied. A very nice and useful lot, which contains a total of 13 volumes. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (Scan 3) (Scan 4) (Scan 5) (All Scans)

Lot Description

1748

Large Lot of Mint Never Hinged Miniature Panes and Souvenir Sheets, in envelopes with glassine interleaving or in glassines. Scott #s 678/3078, duplicated with upwards of 10 or more of some items. This group must have high total catalogue value: we checked the first 20 envelopes out of over 60 and found the catalogue value to be $1,963; this just counting items over $10. The miniature panes of Czechoslovakia have, for the most part been separated into their component stamps over the years and have only relatively recently been listed as footnotes in Scott, which is why we noted these surprisingly high catalogue values for this country. The stamps are generally well-preserved, despite their humble presentation, with only the odd folded corner here or there as a result of careless handling. Excellent material for the re-seller. Overall fine to very fine. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (All Scans)

Collection / Accumulation of Mint and Used Egypt, 1867-1968, consisting of many hundreds of stamps, in a binder, with many Vario-style and owner created pages. The lot begins with a selection of used material up to the mid 1920s (including a few pages of pyramid stamps), with a gradual mix of mint and used material up to the 1950s, and primarily mint United Arab Republic material up to the late 1960s. The collection includes a representation of Airmails, Officials, Postage Dues, and Occupation of Palestine. A cursory look of material showed a mix of lower value stamps with items cataloguing $10 and up, leaving potential finds for the diligent collector.
