Lots 909-937 are all from one man’s collection. They are similar in nature in that there is very little prior to the 1930’s (although an occasional good item) and they run to the 1990’s or just past 2000. Everything is in mounts or mounted on Speedrille pages and the bulk of the value is derived from the proliferation of mint sets many of which are NH.
