1880s-1980s MASSIVE ACCUMULATION OF
THOUSANDS OF STAMPS ..................................... $1500-2000
Primary collection is a 10-volume Scott International, years
1851-1974, many thousands of stamps, generally used,
generally inexpensive, but still lots to work with and a number
of worthwhile pockets including CHINA. Additional collections
are generally pre-printed or quadrille pages in 3-ring albums,
including: 2-volume ‘Castro’s Cuba,’ used common; 2-volume
‘Voyager’ Worldwide collection; 3-volume ‘Lotta-StampsA-Month’ collection; and a 1-volume Princess Diana Memorial
collection, mint worldwide sets & S/S. With the potential for
sleepers in the Internationals, this lot is worth a closer look.
