Thousands and thousands of mint and used stamps mostly different in full, partial sets, and singles. Has huge owner’s older catalog value which consists of dubious, fakes, miss identifications, and revenue cancels which were counted. Encompassed interesting China, British, and French colonies. A “meaty” selection well worth your inspectionCat. Value: S.B. 4500.00
Price Realized: $2,300.00
301*oCollector's black box (six) stock on a several thousand 102 size cards each containing a "better" set or single. At one time in the near past was fully cataloged (2016?) with tapes, organized. But handling has caused dueling tapes, miscataloged stamps, and counted fakes and forgeries. Plenty of good stamps from formerly popular countries (no China). Best areas include Portugal, Switzerland, and French Colonies and former colonies. Huge catalog value. Now offered a small fraction of retail to please many bidders.Cat. Value: S.B. 2200.00
Price Realized: $1,600.00
302*oThree cartons of "better" foreign stamps grouped in three cartons. Around twenty lots on all consisting of: failed auction lots, misdescribed auction lots (from other sources), stockbooks of mint, stockbooks of used, loose album page folder lots, individual items, and much, much more. Strongest in France and French colonies, but has more than its share of faults. Mixed condition throughout. Not as clean as it should be with fakes, forgeries, and reprints hovering throughout. Emphasis is on quantity with quality only secondary. Appears as if the original owner already upgraded from here leaving his seconds in the fray. Huge catalog, duplication, and plenty of finds to be remade. What fun!Cat. Value: S.B. 2200.00
Price Realized: $2,100.00
303*oAround seventy unsold auction lots that didn’t quite make the cut this time around. Includes lots of British plus strong Italy and areas, Far East, Liechtenstein. Mostly complete sets or better values somewhat mixed condition but most Fine or better. Compact value, worth close inspection.Cat. Value: S.B. 1700.00
Price Realized: $3,500.00
304*oOne man’s souvenir sheets and booklets accumulation/collection in an album and stockbook on blank pages circa 1940 to 1998 having a strong presence from the 1950s to the 1970s. Roughly 1,050 mint and CTO mainly different. Includes Japan #311a and 456 as well as from the British Commonwealth. Very attractive which will easily break down into individual or small lots for internet sales.Cat. Value: S.B. 1700.00
Price Realized: $500.00
305*oAround 200 retired APS sales books that circulated during 2003-2005. The catalog must be enormous for it appears that there are substantial owners retail left in each one. Truly worldwide with no apparent areas stronger than others. Unsearched by us, but probably a little remaindered by the first owner. Great value for the philatelic recycler.Cat. Value: S.B. 1250.00
Price Realized: $1,350.00
306*oManipulated auction lot reoffered here. Seems to be a nine volume Yvert world collection to 1984. However,selected pages (and countries) have been removed leaving little if any early classical material and just a few instances of any 19th century at all. Thousands of stamps remain mainly mint hinged into the albums. A preponderance of mint sets many having intermediate catalog values. Huge aggregate catalog which has little relation to its real value. Mainly 1945-1980 in Yvert order. The previous owner paid big money for this group, but its standing as a remaindered aggregation has the reserve set at a small fraction of its previous offering. Look close for this bargain lot will interest many bidders at the current suggested bid.Cat. Value: S.B. 1200.00
Price Realized: $1,000.00
307*oSix heavy, well used, and disheveled stockbooks filling a banker's box. Several thousand stamps in all from a cherry pickers estate. Used and mint. Huge catalog. Variable condition. Somewhat remaindered. Very few complete sets, mainly singles and part sets. Plenty of high ticket items. Problems with condition, misidentification, and the presence of fakes and forgeries hold this one back from being an exceptional lot. Great group for the catalog expert, or when all is written up will have been purchased at a small fraction of catalog.Cat. Value: S.B. 1200.00
Price Realized: $950.00
308*oA stockbook holding couple thousand which were culled out of stocks and collections. Strong in the classic period in better than usual condition. Owner’s catalog totals $23,670 which needs a bit of scrutiny as there are a few dubious. Wide variety which makes this a good group for the worldwide collector.Cat. Value: S.B. 1200.00
Price Realized: $750.00
309*oNO LOTCat. Value: S.B. 0.00
Price Realized: $0.00
310*oStack of around a hundred country collections in folders. Most have an estimated catalog value which adds up to quite a bit. All are mixed mint and used and run up to the mid 1950’s. Good lot for the general collector or easy profits for the dealer to sell as lots.Cat. Value: S.B. 1000.00
Price Realized: $3,750.00
311*oCollector's duplicates filling six of our largest cartons contained in over a dozen "mystery lots" put together and marketed by a large stamp wholesaler. The mystery lots are just jammed to the brim with mainly used stamps in glassines and on small stockcards. There are finds to be made and world collection spaces to be filled in this over 100,000 (just a guess) individual stamp pile. Duplication, salted with a few goodies here and there to keep you coming back for more. Huge aggregate but meaningless catalog value. If you love the hunt this is a lot for you. Hundreds of hours of sorting and searching fun in this "grains of sand on the beach" holding.Cat. Value: S.B. 1000.00
Price Realized: $1,100.00
312*oFabulous two volume 19th century albums by Richard Senf printed in 1899. Albums are collector's items in themselves. The stamps are very filled in some sections, mostly Europe and South /Central America, and sparse in other areas. Better countries include Germany and States, Denmark, Cape Of Good Hope plus much more. Take some time to view and enjoy a collection from the past.Cat. Value: S.B. 1000.00
Price Realized: $1,600.00
313*oConsignment as received in a pizza box with better stamps identified and priced on a pile of "102" size cards. A sample of the better are Switzerland used #C2 w/cert, Tristan Da Cunha 28-41 NH, Vietnam #13 x2 NH, plus high cataloging Italian states, useful Canada and loads more. Great lot for adding stamps to a world collection.Cat. Value: S.B. 1000.00
Price Realized: $750.00
314*oA skinny stockbook containing several hundred medium to better values and sets culled out of stocks and collections. Runs from classics to mint sets. Strong in Great Britain as well as other British plus Scandinavia. Owner’s catalog is $17000 which needs a bit of discounting due to a handful of dubious. Minimal duplication. Good lot for the worldwide collectorCat. Value: S.B. 1000.00
Price Realized: $650.00
315*oCaboose catchall job lot from a large consignment. Includes seven cartons of leftovers, from loose stamps through unsold auction (eBay) lots, plenty of glassines and stockcards holding who knows what along with loose album pages and two full cartons of floor sweepings.

Price Realized: $1,450.00
