42***Carefully counted useable US postage. After a long look the heirs decided it was a good idea to take back the postage for their count. After eliminating all the unusable fractional, special delivery, postage due, etc., they returned it for auction inclusion with their count of $2,726.93 which looks correct to us. Lots of booklets, self stick, sheets, and others with most stamps over 25 cents face each. No forever stamps (those they kept), just a compact, but heavy pizza sized box fill with useable counted postage.Cat. Value: Face 2700.00
