COLLECTIONS & ACCUMULATIONS — British Commonwealth
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
Lots 1228-1244 comprise an A-Z British commonwealth collection, in a VERY neat and balanced arrangement of Showgard mounts, on blank pages that fill 17 matching springback binders. Generally they contain mixed NH, OG, and used singles and sets grouped by year of issue per Scott, ranging from the QV era to various points in the QEII era. Better issues are sprinkled throughout, but early long sets may not be complete and no souvenir sheets, miniature sheets, etc. are included. Also, scanned pages are representative and are not necessarily all of the most valuable ones, so viewing is recommended. An unusual opportunity to acquire so much clean and useful material from your countries of choice.
