Hundreds and hundreds of stamps. Everything is meticulously cataloged including the duplicates that are sometimes extensive (Russia mint #1343 x 300, etc.), damaged, fakes, CTO etc. Tapes, and totals of owner's "catalog values" are included in each group and left there by us to serve as guidelines only. In person viewing is the only way to figure these. The good stuff has substantial value and decently high catalog value, but only viewing will enable a buyer to make an informed bid.
