Thick Stockbook Full of Very Valuable Mint and Used Singles and Sets, starts at the Jubilee issues (a few used issues including two $2 values), followed by mostly mint (with a little used here and there) complete sets, including Queen Victoria Leafs, Numerals, Edwards, Québecs, lots of Admirals, and all of the other issues up to the early 1950s. Along with the complete sets are many extras, such as a booklet pane each of the 2c Numeral and 2c Edward, blocks of four, plate blocks, complete sets in plate blocks, a few imperforate Scroll pairs, an imperforate-between Scroll pair, two used 50c Bluenose, a mint plate single 50c Bluenose, three $1 Parliaments, and much, much more. Also includes tons of good back of the book, including Admiral War Tax (incl. several better issues), as well as Airmails, Officially Sealed, Registration, Special Delivery, Officials (overprinted and perfin) and a few revenues. Far too many good items to list here, we recommend in-person viewing to better appreciate the quality, quantity and value in this one as we have not scanned all pages. Quality is overall fine to very fine, and the mint stamps are roughly half hinged and half never hinged (including valuable items), but we note some early issues (roughly Québecs and before) that have no gum. A wonderful lot for the online reseller, or for a dealer to fill 102 cards or dealer pages with nice stock.
