39***Face value part of a large US consignment concentrated in sheets, booklets, booklet panes and souvenir sheets. Generally 4 cents face through Forevers with the emphasis on sheets 1985-2010.

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
Price Realized: $1,350.00
43***Accumulated postage from the estate of an accomplished old time collector who did most of his philatelic shopping at the post office. Just over $2,100.00 face in booklets, sheets, scrap, and year sets. Collected this way from 1972 through 2002. Bends, Creases, perf separations from rough storage. An impaired Recalled Legends sheet along to sweeten this run of the mill postage group. Would probably benefit from a precise count. Will mail quite a few letters if there's room for all the stamps.Cat. Value: Face 2100.00
Price Realized: $1,100.00
