COLLECTIONS AND ACCUMULATIONS — British Commonwealth
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
1029*oOne man’s collection in 18 well filled Gibbons binders on quadrille pages and one small stockbook. Strength is in the many hundreds of mint sets and singles well populated from 1948-1980 plus many mint classics to consider. Too many individual highlights to recount, but Barbados, Ceylon, Hong Kong, India and states, plus St. Helena stood out upon review. Huge catalog value with many premium sets to figure. Plan some extended time to review this lot in its entirety. This great A-Z collection is a true pleasure to view.Cat. Value: S.B. 22,000.00
Price Realized: $16,000.00
