COLLECTIONS AND ACCUMULATIONS — Italy and Areas
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
1150*oItaly and Areas neatly mounted collection of several hundred different in a Scott Specialty album to 1982. Mixed mint and used to 1960 then all mint. Many complete sets along with a nice sprinkling of offices, Aegean Islands, states and Vatican to warrant mentioning the “Areas”. The quality is nice throughout, worthy of expansion.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,000.00
Price Realized: $1,250.00
1151*oItaly and Areas collection in four Scott volumes running to the 1990’s. The mother country is in two volumes, states and colonies are in a third and San Marino the fourth. All have mixed mint and used stamps from the earlies to back of the book. The owner’s catalog value of about $28,000.00 needs to be greatly discounted due to fakes among the Italian states, and possible misidentification. Still, there is much value that can be easily extracted.Cat. Value: S.B. 750.00
Price Realized: $1,600.00
1152*oItaly and Areas mostly fine accumulation on three stockpages. Most of the value (owner’s catalog $2,000.00) is in Italy with up to three of a kind covering regular issues, airs, dues, and officials. There is a group of Eritrea, Somalia (used J2, mint J5), and a bit of Vatican City. A useful group that won’t take long to view so you might as well.Cat. Value: S.B. 375.00
Price Realized: $270.00
