LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
998*oItaly and Area collection from the Carbondale estate in a trio of Specialty albums. Begins with some Italian States (including covers) with reprints and forgeries identified. The Italy proper is very complete mint or used including several good airmail and parcel post sets and singles. The ‘Areas’ are virtually all Vatican and San Marino each with worthwhile items. The collection runs to about 1990 with condition being above average. A collection well worth studying further as there are varieties and covers scattered about.Cat. Value: S.B. 3,000.00
Price Realized: $5,500.00
999*oItaly and Areas an old mounted collection of several hundred different to about 1950 on Scott Specialty pages. The regulars are very complete but slacking off towards the end. The BOB is a bit less complete with some areas very lacking. The offices are scattered as is the Aegean Islands but still many good values with the Islands a bit better due to the many Garibaldi issues. Overall high catalog value.Cat. Value: S.B. 2,400.00
