800*oA most useful collector’s mint and used collection in seven Scott Platinum albums with slip cases. Contains 19 and 20th century front and back of the book.

Price Realized: $2.00
802*oMassive mint and used holding be sold as received. The core value lies in three groupings. The first being three binders filled with “102” size sales cards of 19th and 20th century mint and used lower to medium values with a few better. This assembly was set up for a stock but was never offered until now. The second worthy batch is a scattering of mint blocks of lower to medium from the Washington Franklins to the 1920 commemoratives, unfortunately this cluster has some perf staining from tape. However, upon closer examination we did spot some salvageable material. The final mentionable is a used collection in a pair of Lighthouse albums. Items include Scott #12, 112-121, and a few 90¢ Banknotes. Condition of the collection is only average. Also spread throughout this eclectic hoard is tiny pockets of worthwhile pieces to be plucked for further profits.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,200.00

Also used Scott #1-2, 100-101, 155, 218-219, 244, and 277-278 among others. Careful viewing will uncover the full potential of this collection.Cat. Value: S.B. 900.00

Price Realized: $2,200.00
