LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
869*oLast minute arrival off the desk of a proficient stamper is this large pile of glassines, “102” size cards, small stocksheets, etc. The previous owner was a “cherry picker” who bought large estates over the years and put something away that was “good” from each transaction. What you have now is an aggregation of several hundred units each worth mentioning in a collection. Every part catalogs several dollars to hundreds of dollars each. Mixed condition, as found, totally uncataloged by us. Definite “Bonanza” to any world collector or dealer offered at a small fraction of its total value. Philatelic “honey hole” prospecting at its finest.Cat. Value: S.B. 9,000.00
Price Realized: $6,000.00
870*oCollection to 1893 in a two volume Universal-Permanent Lietzow album set from 1894. The albums are in remarkable condition for their age. Volume I has binding problems while Volume II is basically intact. The collection has been remaindered in the 1920s but many country groups remain as they were collected. The Europe is by far the strongest area with Asia right up there too. Condition is average for the classic era with many faults noticed. Best countries include Austria, Germany, France, Bulgaria, Hungary, Greece, China, and Japan. If you are looking for a classic old time collection this one’s for you.Cat. Value: S.B. 3,500.00
Price Realized: $4,500.00
871*oCVAccumulation as received in nine large heavy cartons. Could easily have been broken down into smaller parts, but this late arrival is offered intact. Highlights include a two volume hingeless US collection, with more stamps awaiting placement in stockbooks than inside, a few old foreign collections, boxes of mixed foreign, a couple of boxes of mint US along with a stockbook or two and even one old $1,000.00 Confederate bond. Also includes lots of covers, a small group of interesting postal stationery, some ugly shoebox lots, and a box of US on “102” size cards. Tremendous value when broken down into smaller saleable sections.Cat. Value: S.B. 2,200.00
Price Realized: $1,600.00
872*oCVConsignment as received in two larger size stockbooks and a pair of small pizza size boxes housed in a large carton. The bulk of the value is found in one of the two worldwide stockbooks. Highlights include US used #155, 218, 243 on piece, various banknotes with destination cancels, plus numerous other classics such as used high catalog Great Britain, Netherlands, German states, Australian states, Canada and others. Huge catalog value enhanced by several covers. The rest of the lot, although interesting, (one pizza box is filled with low face value US face) is just an “also ran” in comparison. Slow perusal could be to your advantage.Cat. Value: S.B. 2,000.00
Price Realized: $1,600.00
873*oAccumulation of better items cherry picked from old collections and gathered into small high catalog country groups in a skinny stockbook. Condition and wishful thinking cataloging make some of the listed values suspect, but good value throughout. Better groups include French Colonies, Hong Kong, Canada (includes #21-30 used), Great Britain, AMG-FTT, and just enough US to get it into this category. Worth a studious look.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,800.00
Price Realized: $1,150.00
874*oAccumulation with well over 500 unpicked “102” size cards never placed into stock. Good Baltics, Western Europe, Russia and more. Clean and fresh looking material, plenty of value for the collector or dealer.Cat. Value: cat. 11,660.00
Price Realized: $1,700.00
875*oCarton lot with all sorts of unconnected but decent material. Best is a box of a couple hundred modern booklets and booklet panes roughly sorted into areas. Face value is notable in the US, Great Britain, and France sections. Also impressive is the group of four “red boxes” packed with mint sets and singles on hundreds of “102” and “104” size cards. Roughly sorted by area and exhibiting moderate duplication. Will need considerable work to ready them for sale. Lots of useful material at a good price.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,500.00
Price Realized: $1,150.00
876*oBalance of a large important estate packed into four large heavy cartons. Includes nine clean Scott Specialty albums to around 1970 of various countries and areas, the majority only sparsely filled. The exceptions are India, Straits Settlements and area, and Mexico containing better beginner and intermediate collections. Best of all is a Scott Specialty US collection (a few nicer classics and a mint C18) and then a back of the book interesting holding of revenues. Also joined by three binders of US FDCs, a volume or two of a “sand dunes” collection, a shoebox of US precancels, a couple of old world remainder collections and a box of miscellaneous stamps. Good heavy duty project for the upcoming season.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,250.00
Price Realized: $4,000.00
877*oAccumulation in 14 heavy cartons. Consisting of thousands of US and foreign stamps in albums and binders.

Value: S.B. 1,000.00
Price Realized: $650.00
878*oRemainder lot in three large cartons. Contains stockbooks, collections, singles and booklets in various pockets of organization.

Nothing exciting just a good solid lot.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,000.00
Price Realized: $750.00
