| 682 | | Dealer tub of over 550 diverse covers and cards. Each has significant attributes fully annotated on computerized retail labels. We noted expo, ethnic, and real photo postcards, advertising, patriotic, flight, and event covers plus better frankings, fancy cancels, and autographs among all these better items. We also noted some opened stampless covers and that about 6% are better foreign. Should be well worth your time to go through the entire tub since they are being offered at a small percentage of retail. | Cat. Value: S.B. 6,500.00 Price Realized: $9,000.00 |
| 683 | | Postal card collection from 1873 to the 1960’s mounted exhibit style on old Scott pages.

This could go a long way toward filling out your collection or stock so check it out. | Cat. Value: S.B. 2,500.00 Price Realized: $2,000.00 |

CAM, FAM, airport dedication, Airmail Week, common first day covers and postal cards were all seen with a quick look. Spotted a 1928 around the world flight and some pilot autographed covers. Several thousand covers just as they came in. You should plan to spend some time examining this one. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1,200.00 Price Realized: $2,900.00 |
