51 TOTAL IMAGES | 1 | O | A colossal four volume 1851-2011 almost entirely mint commemorative, regular, airmail, and Back of the Book issues collection. Includes heavy doses of pre-Banknote, Banknotes, early commemoratives. Marching solidly into the early 20th century regular issues while pouring into large populations of Washington-Franklins. Then emerging into the contemporary and modern issues unscathed. The collection continues to trudge forward into the astonishing Airmails, spectacular Special Deliveries, potent Postage Dues, a kaleidoscope of Shanghai overprints, only ending with an outstanding offering of Officials. Includes copious amounts of lower and medium values as well as impressive higher value populations. This immense assembly is just a bit mixed, however one must be impressed with the massive amount of clean worthwhile material. One of the finest United States collections we have had the privilege to offer. | Cat. Value: S.B. 12000.00 Price Realized: $32,000.00 |
30 TOTAL IMAGES | 2 | O | An outstanding collection in a Safe album with slipcase. Strong in the nineteenth century with a few stamps having certification, and all the 19th century commemoratives are present with most being mint. The collection continues to the 1940s including the Kansas Nebraska issues, White Plains sheet, Parks and Famous Americans. Mixed condition on the earlies as expected and a few with no gum. The images tell the story of this desirable collection. A great collection worthy of a close inspection. | Cat. Value: S.B. 5000.00 Price Realized: $7,500.00 |
15 TOTAL IMAGES | 3 | O | Very clean stock of US mint and used from a #10A through Prexies, with airs, and some BoB. Organized to sell or add to your collection. | Cat. Value: S.B. 3750.00 Price Realized: $4,250.00 |
28 TOTAL IMAGES | 4 | O | A pair of 19th and 20th century collections. The first is a mixed mint and used 1847//1984 group mounted in a couple of Scott National albums. The front of the book section offers a balanced representation of commemorative and regular issued medium to lower values. The airmail section is quite strong highlighted as a mint and used set of 1930 Zeppelins. The back of the book is very underwhelming. The second assembly is a commemorative 1893//1972 collection nested in two Heirloom binders that start with the Columbian issues up to the $4.00 value. The quality is quite mixed in both collections. Combining these two into a new hingeless would brighten up the party. | Cat. Value: S.B. 3500.00 Price Realized: $7,000.00 |
42 TOTAL IMAGES | 5 | O | An up-and-coming 1847-1980 collection/accumulation. The heart and soul of the assembly is housed in first of two Scott hingeless albums. Includes both 19th and 20th century mint and used, commemorative, regular issues, airmails, and Back of the Book issues. Well balanced low to medium values with the occasional higher value at the end of some sets. Mixture of mint and used through the 1917 issues then turns almost all mint. Condition is mixed. A dash of worldwide thrown in for a bonus. A group worthy of serious consideration. | Cat. Value: S.B. 4000.00 Price Realized: $10,500.00 |
23 TOTAL IMAGES | 6 | O | A virtually all mint collection to 1988 in a Liberty album. Condition ranges significantly, with no gum, regummed, hinged, and never hinged present.

41 TOTAL IMAGES | 11 | O | A lifetime collection from the Sunshine State housed in 5 Scott national albums. A bit weak in classic issues. Some decent banknotes, Columbians and turn of the century issues before the spaces really begin to be filled starting with the Washington-Franklins with many nice mint copies. Starting with Scott 614, we didn’t notice a single empty space or used stamp to the end of the collection in 2010; imperf Bugs, Recalled Legends, high value Priority and Express Mail are all here mint in mounts. The airs, including zeps, are complete mint as are the special delivery issues. Postage dues, good Shanghai stamps, and newspapers are also represented. Used examples predominate in the officials. A page of Confederate States brings up the rear of the collection. Condition varies as usual with a large collection but most are fine or better. The extensive photos will be helpful in determining your bid as this meaty collection deserves a close look. | Cat. Value: S.B. 2300.00 Price Realized: $6,500.00 |

21 TOTAL IMAGES | 13 | O | United States collection from 1847 to 2018 in five Scott albums in one carton. Most of the value is in all the postage to be counted as well as highlights of used Scott #1, 2 and mint White Plain sheet plus a few other collector items. The plethora of postage will make this a worthy lot. Well worth our suggested bid. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1900.00 Price Realized: $2,900.00 |
15 TOTAL IMAGES | 14 | O | A collection in two Harris Liberty albums. Early used includes 9, 69, 71 115, 119, 218, 229, Columbians to the 50c, and most Kansas overprints. Mint begins in earnest with the Nebraska overprints and continues seemingly complete to 1997. Back of the book is weak except the airs which includes mint C13-15. Condition varies but much is fine or better. A useful collection for dealer or collector. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1800.00 Price Realized: $2,600.00 |
65 TOTAL IMAGES | 15 | | Neat and clean 1902//1990 mint regular issue single and plate block collection meticulously mounted on White Ace pages. Mostly lower and medium issues present. Mainly front of the book, no airmails, and just a bit of back of the Book. Very fresh appearing with decent amount of NH and some good amount of postage types present. Great lot for the beginner and should be taken seriously. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1700.00 Price Realized: $3,750.00 |
39 TOTAL IMAGES | 16 | O | A haphazard assortment comprising of a worthwhile starter collection and an unprocessed accumulation of mint and used front, and Back of Book nested in sales pages and cards. The three-part collection includes a 1923 to modern blocks of 4 commemorative collection on White Ace pages. The second grouping is a 1903 to 2000 mostly mint regular issue and commemorative singles which includes a nice selection of Airmails, some mentionable Back of the Book, and a bit of Philippines. The third collection is a small hodgepodge of plate blocks of little consequence. The unprocessed accumulation contains a fair number of hidden sparklers scatted about. Also worth mentioning is a batch of 2¢ reds and other popular areas in sheet form. What type of grouping like this would not have a nice mixture of postage containing a sizable bunch of high values to sweeten the pot. A lot that should be given serious consideration. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1600.00 Price Realized: $4,500.00 |
13 TOTAL IMAGES | 17 | O | A great start to a U. S. collection in three Lighthouse albums. Lightly populated in the classics but picks up in the banknotes. There is only one grilled banknote, 134, the others are without grills. There are a few other optimistically placed stamps. Highlights include a scattering of the early mint stamps beginning in the banknotes and continuing through the Columbians then slowly becoming mostly mint around 1920. Complete Trans Mississippi, Kansas Nebraska and Parcel Post enhance this collection along with an almost complete selection of ducks to 1995. A great lot worthy of inspection. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1600.00 Price Realized: $3,000.00 |
