COLLECTIONS AND ACCUMULATIONS BY COUNTRY — Finland
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
941oFinland impressive collection of classic issues mounted on pages. The first issue is represented by four of the 5 kop and one 10 kop. Then, there are well over 200 roulettes mounted on approval type pages with several of very nice quality noted and several more with nice cancels. The owner included every stamp in his 2005 catalog value of over $61,000.00 but did not add any premium for scarcer roulette types. A rare opportunity to dig into these interesting issues and start a new specialty.Cat. Value: S.B. 4,000.00
Price Realized: $4,500.00

It is missing only a couple stamps for completion (all mint in mounts) from 1945 to 2005. There is also a collection of Aland that looks to be complete to 2006, an intriguing bundle of postal stationery with several early types, and some miscellaneous included. A good grouping of all aspects of Finnish philately.Cat. Value: S.B. 750.00
