COLLECTIONS AND ACCUMULATIONS — Japan
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
1154*oJapan mostly mint collection in four White Ace binders to 1980. Poor storage has somewhat warped the binders and imparted a musty smell but has seemingly only had minor effects on the stamp inside. Includes mint #222a hinged and thin, 485a, 478a hinged and toned with around 80% filled for the pages. Three albums contain modern sheets mounted on blank pages along with two sheet files of unmounted sheets. Dedicated salvage techniques will aid in this collections rejuvenation.Cat. Value: S.B. 800.00
Price Realized: $3,000.00
1155*oCVJapan and area original holding mainly on Scott Specialty pages. Chiefly used from dubious classics up through 1956 where things turn mint. Well filled to 1983 around 80% complete. Good singles and mint sets are present with highlights of mint #455, B11, and C9-C13 plus used #456 and 479a. Along for the ride are a few interesting covers, and rudimentary collections of Ryukyu Island and Manchukuo. One volume holds most of the souvenir sheets where poor mounting technique has caused many back faults, some severe. Careful examination is necessary to calculate a fair price.Cat. Value: S.B. 750.00
Price Realized: $2,500.00
