| 408 |   | Italy stunning mint collection 1851-1971 in five matching expensive Bolaffi albums with slipcases. Essentially complete for all the major Scott numbers, so a long list of numbers present is unnecessary. The first three volumes are for the Kingdom issues with the Republic issues in the other two. Many of the best items are with various certs all pictured in the extensive PhotoThe owner has provided an extensive inventory and 2011 catalog value of $146,292.73 which has dropped somewhat since then. Some specialty items and varieties are listed in converted dollars from their Sassone values. Most if not all the stamps in this unbelievably complete collection were purchased as mint NH, but on inspection a few are questionable (regum, disturbed, smoothed, and sweated gum, pencil marks other than expertizing marks, fingerprints, etc.). Absolutely wonderful appearance. Variable condition from F-EXF. Includes mint stamps that are seldom seen like: 27a, 28, 29, 31, 34, 34a, 34b, 36, 39, 40, 48, 52, 142A-142D, 165-170, all the advertising labels (mixed mint and used), 834a, C27, C42-C47, C48-C49, Q61-Q76 Plus CO1 and CO2. This only scratches the surface with many other top quality stamps and sets to be rediscovered with an up close and personal viewing. | Cat. Value: S.B. 16,000.00
Price Realized: $22,000.00 |
| 409 | | Italy used collection housed in a skinny stockbook. A couple hundred mainly used stamps in virtual Scott order to 1935. Predominately complete sets. A few favor cancels on some of the high values are obvious, but an owner’s catalog of $36,000.00 makes our estimate a bargain. Easy lot to figure with lots of better singles and sets throughout. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1,200.00
Price Realized: $1,050.00 |
| 410 | | Italy remaindered collection on Scott pages having hundreds and hundreds of mint and used stamps. 1862-1960. Strong earlies and airs, but just two pages of semipostals. Check carefully as you might unearth some pleasant surprises. | Cat. Value: S.B. 650.00
Price Realized: $475.00 |
| 411 | | Italy small mostly better mint and used on 28 “102a” stockcards having some extras and an owner’s catalog of $5,879.00. Highlights include mint 400-409, 488, C42-C45, Somalia 69A and used #57, 165-167, and 580. A most worthwhile offering. | Cat. Value: S.B. 600.00
