COLLECTIONS AND ACCUMULATIONS — British
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
1454**An extensive grouping of Commonwealth sets and singles on Scott hingeless stockpages. Stamps for each country begin in the 1950s or 1960s and continue until recent times. There are three large cartons stuffed with manila envelopes. Each envelope will contain one or more countries but ignore the writing on the envelopes as we recycled them to save a few trees. Just to give a flavor of whats here, we pulled one envelope at random and found Trinidad and Tobago cataloging $230.00 including the flower set of 1983; Tristan da Cunha cataloging $111.00 with 162-173 (two sets); and Turks and Caicos cataloging $363.00 with dozens of complete sets. The rest of the Empire is represented by similar material, almost always one of a kind and very saleable at a high percentage of catalog. Everything here is clean and should be NH.
