COLLECTIONS, ACCUMULATIONS, AND STOCKS — Hungary
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
513O*CVOne man's lifetime accumulation/collection of Hungary in eight binders from the very first issues (few) to around 1985. Weak in the classics. Strongest in the airmails and regular issues of the 1950s through the 1970s, with even a handful of Hungarian Zeppelin flight covers and imperforate pairs. Moderate to excessive duplication giving rise to a huge aggerate catalog value. Includes the starts of a couple specialized groups on homemade pages that have been remaindered or broken down sometime in the past. Could use a new caretaker to reassemble this hoard into a viable intermediate collection.Cat. Value: S.B. 2200.00
Price Realized: $2,700.00
514O*Outstanding exhibit style Hungary collection 1850-1874 on expensive home made pages in two Scott new style Albums. Begins with stampless covers and folded letters showing different rates and destinations. Proceeds with the stamps up through 1874 with plenty of shades and other differences. These extensive classics are well illustrated with exemplary covers that show rates, cancels, and usages. Beautiful example of a knowledgeable collector's life's work.Cat. Value: S.B. 1200.00
Price Realized: $1,450.00
515O*An interesting collection with a specialized flavor. Includes basic material with many better sets and souvenir sheets to 1960 along with in depth 1871/1872 Franz Josefs and late 19th century St. Stephen Crown issues, interesting covers, a dozen pages of 1870/1880 documentary stamps, plus prolific “1N’s” through “11N’s”. Useful duplication within and between the five albums to enjoy. Sure to interest the specialist.Cat. Value: S.B. 1200.00
Price Realized: $1,600.00
516O*Attractive two-volume collection of Hungary, 1871-1989. Well filled for the time period, including regular issues and BOB. Contains many souvenir sheets and sheetlets. Neatly mounted on Scott specialty pages and identified by Scott catalog number and value. At times lacking the more elusive stamps. Some items require an expert’s examination. Owner’s recent total catalog value, $7,800.00. Ready for continuation. Worth a good look.Cat. Value: S.B. 500.00
Price Realized: $350.00

Many, many desirable singles and complete sets, but missing some of the more elusive stamps and lightly remaindered. Mint og and used. F-VF. All material hinged onto somewhat worn Schaubek pages. Stamps identified with Scott catalog number and value. Would make an attractive collection for the time period if transferred to an appropriate specialty album. Perfect for expansion.Cat.
