769**BlkCollection/accumulation of plate blocks from the 3˘ to 5˘ era lined up in #3 glassines filling over three red boxes. This collector built complete matched sets of as many plate numbers as possible by scouring post offices everywhere she went. Apparently she sorted primarily by plate number, gradually filling the envelopes with additional blocks in most cases. We noted a few better numbers, and didn’t count the stuck ones. A labor of love that needs to be reworked.Cat. Value: face abt. 1,200.00
