748*oCollection in a battered and bruised Liberty album. Used to 1980 and then mint to the early 1990s. Lots of values in the used classics with #1, 2, Columbians and Trans Mississippi issues, Kansas Nebraska, etc. present. Condition has to be a factor with many “space filler” types lurking. This album has not enough spaces for the included stamps encompassed so identification will require disassembly. Also includes good airs like used C13-C15, etc., along with other desirable back of the book. Enough face in booklet panes and the like to be a consideration. This intact collector made collection is offered at a small fraction of its enormous catalog value. Worth a close inspection.Cat. Value: S.B. 6,500.00
Price Realized: $7,000.00
749*oMint and used old time collection in a well used 1957 Scott American Album. Begins with a used #1 with a purported orange cancel (looks light red to us), a couple of pages of classics and banknotes, and a used set of #112-122. Also includes some interesting albeit puzzling Washington Franklins. Missing a few pages and sets, this album has seen its days. Mixed condition. Enough to tweak the interest of an intrepid bidder.Cat. Value: S.B. 4,500.00
Price Realized: $4,000.00
