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

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.

Inside could be anything, but mainly low end sets, part sets and singles now only partially organized alphabetically. Duplication abounds. Lots of CTO.
