POSTAGE — Postage
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
33***All the mint US (post 1940) found in a Minnesota estate. Runs 1940-2017 with many accumulated sheets. The heirs attempted a full count of face: $1,725.00 in Forever values, $2,490.00 in sheets and booklets, and $375.00 in scrap where it became confusing to them leaving at least two full boxes of plate blocks, coil pairs, nondenominated, etc., uncounted. When checked we found at least $4,600 in carefully counted face which when added to the uncounted boxes should be nearer to at least $5,000.00 in total. We helped them remove the decimals, coils and others, leaving only useable and collectable face. Lots of variety especially from the 29 cent commemoratives through the Forevers. Perfect for the collector and discount postage user. Recount it if you must.Cat. Value: Face 4600.00
Price Realized: $3,750.00
34**Carefully counted mint useable US postage in a small carton separated into two boxes. The first is filled with complete unexploded booklets mainly from the 22 cent through the 39 cent era. There are hundreds with a face count of $2,037.00. The second is groups of 100 sorted by denomination into glassines from the same era mainly in blocks of four and plate blocks with a total face count of $1,466.00. Total face is just over $3,500.00. Compact, concentrated group. Pull out the premium and use the rest as discount postage. Everything is mailable with many peel and stick ready to go.Cat. Value: Face 3500.00
Price Realized: $2,100.00
35***"I went to the post office" hoard of relatively modern sheets 13 cents up through "forever" values housed in three binders in plastic sleeves. Mainly sheets, year sets and government sets.

Price Realized: $1,800.00
