732*Unusually neat and clean collection to the 1990’s in three Scott National albums in which we stopped counting the catalog value at $15,000.00 and face at $1,500.00. The first book includes apparently complete mint commemoratives from the Columbians and most mint definitives from 1917 on. The second contains 1984-1994 panes, booklets, souvenir sheets and plate number strips of five. The third has about 100 additional booklets and panes, dozens of ducks and EFOs, and all airmails including C13-C15. Condition of earlier issues varies unexpectedly given the careful presentation, so examination is a must.Cat. Value: S.B. 3,500.00
Price Realized: $6,500.00
733oOld time dealer used working stock and back up stocks plus others in eight assorted stockbooks. Most were assembled in the 1960’s or before with substantial 19th century, many unusual cancels, etc. Also includes a shoebox of postal history, mainly New Mexico, and some mint postage. Tremendous catalog with many better, undetermined common duplication and typical varied condition. Worth becoming familiar with.Cat. Value: S.B. 2,000.00

Condition of the group is rough, it appears some moisture has made its way in causing numerous gum glazing from very minor to major. Still some items were not affected resulting in the illusive NH copy. Centering ranges from Fair to VF. A tricky lot to come up with the right price. Though examination highly recommended. Profits lay within.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,500.00
Price Realized: $3,500.00
735oTwo fairly typical overlapping collections from about 1851 to 1935 plus airs and ducks, both laid out in order on black stockpages.

The bulk of the owner’s catalog of over $10,000.00 is in the used earlies with around 40% of the value in mint. Enough good material to make this lot a bargain. Check it out.Cat. Value: S.B. 1250.00
Price Realized: $1,100.00

A couple of used are 68 and 218. Overall condition is mixed yet much better than normally found as these items were replaced by a better specimen to be harbored in the collector’s main collection. Take your time examining this assembly for an occasional questionable item. A marvelous grouping that must be seen to be appreciated.Cat. Value: S.B. 950.00
Price Realized: $1,800.00

Price Realized: $700.00
745*oAn elementary single and plate block collection/accumulation housed in 10 White Ace binders, two American Heirloom albums, plus other miscellaneous binders and boxes. It appears that what is contained in the binders and boxes were to end up in the collection but time ran out because many empty spaces remain. Better items spotted in the plate blocks are a Famous American set, an Overrun Nations set and a C25-C31 set. Singles are 230 x8, NH, 232 block, a light scattering of Washington-Franklins, a 505 double error block of 12, (stuck to a piece of paper), Kansas-Nebraska set, and C1-C6. Condition mixed.
