COLLECTIONS, ACCUMULATIONS, AND STOCKS — Japan
	Lot	Condition	Description	Value/Bidding
7 TOTAL IMAGES	402	O	Joyful Japan collection from 1876 to 1979 in a sparkling Scott Specialty album. Encompasses hundreds and hundreds of mint and used stamps in full, partial sets, singles and souvenir sheets neatly mounted in black mounts. Bread and butter collection is well worth our suggested bid.	Cat. Value: Cat. 2600.00 Current Bid: $375.00 Minimum Bid: $400.00
40 TOTAL IMAGES	403	O	A wonderful selection beginning in 1894 and virtually complete to 2000 plus extras. Sets, souvenir sheets and mini sheets are accompanied by Japan Occupation stamps. This is an outstanding group with only a couple used items.	Cat. Value: S.B. 2300.00 Current Bid: $1,500.00 Minimum Bid: $1,600.00
9 TOTAL IMAGES	404		Collection in a Minkus Master Global Stamp Album from the early 1960s to 2016 all mint. Souvenir sheets and mini sheets make this a desirable selection. Items under ¥50 were not counted in the ¥586,000 catalog value. A beautiful collection certainly worth investigating.	Cat. Value: Face 2000.00 Current Bid: $1,000.00 Minimum Bid: $1,050.00
	405		Nice bread and butter stock identified on sales cards never offered for sale. Several hundred running to about 1980, the vast majority mint never hinged with minimal duplication. Includes some souvenir sheets and booklets housed in glassines. No big ticket items and no back of the book spotted but this will fill many holes in a Japan collection or create a useful dealer stock. Owner’s catalog value exceeds $4500.	Cat. Value: S.B. 600.00 Current Bid: $425.00 Minimum Bid: $450.00
5 TOTAL IMAGES	406	O	Collection from 1949 to 2003 in four Lighthouse hingeless albums and slipcases in one carton. Hundreds and hundreds of mostly used stamps having some mint in full, partial sets, singles, and souvenir sheets. Also, includes a stockbook of extras having duplication. Well worth our opening bid just for the albums alone.	Cat. Value: S.B. 250.00 Current Bid: $160.00 Minimum Bid: $170.00
