54 TOTAL IMAGES | 439 | O | A collector’s pride and joy on homemade pages in 2 large binders and in two boxes. While there are some better sets and singles, the heart of this collection is the incredible flyspecking done by the previous owner. Not only did he identify hundreds of varieties or printing flaws, but he was an accomplished artist, so his illustrations of each variety are as well done as a published book. In addition, there is often extensive write up describing each series of stamps and the historical context in which they were issued. Stamps begin with the series of 1865 with his flyspecking efforts continuing from about there to around 1930 when commemorative issues became much more frequent. From this point, to the mid or late 1960’s, the collection consists of mint or used stamps mounted on the same style homemade pages, mostly in the two boxes in now random order. Interspersed throughout are several covers, again with varieties identified, accurately illustrated and with extensive write up. An unbelievable opportunity to dive deep into a fascinating and popular area. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1000.00
Price Realized: $1,100.00 |
   
19 TOTAL IMAGES | 440 | O | Russia collection in three Scott Specialty binders with pages to 1991. Volume 1 is mostly void of Imperial Russia issues until about 1913, then is relatively well-filled, mixed mint and used, to 1964. Volume 2 covers 1965 to 1979, again mint and used mixed. Finally, the third volume houses 1980 to 1991 plus semis, airs, and other BOB. Stamps are affixed with a mixture of hinges, mounts and tape (archival?). With care, the tape is easily removed from stamps mounted using it and we saw no detrimental effect to either stamps or album pages. However, it is probably prudent to remount those stamps with a more philatelically friendly method. A number of worthwhile sets or singles throughout and generally nice condition albums makes this a winner at our suggested bid. | Cat. Value: S.B. 500.00
Price Realized: $900.00 |
