545***New Zealand brand new three volume Scott Specialized collection put together as new issues beginning in 1985. Continues to 2014 with mint sets, minisheets, souvenir sheets, and prestige booklets, etc., all neatly mounted in black mounts. Spot checking was all NH. The pages are neat and clean and complete from the beginning to current times. Easy to work backward as there are few stamps pre 1985. Huge face value in New Zealand dollars which could benefit the bidder with an exact count. Huge new issue cost. Substantial catalog. Lots of valuable, beautiful topicals in top flight condition. As complete as modern collections get.Cat. Value: S.B. 750
Price Realized: $900.00
