62 TOTAL IMAGES | 5 | | The Product of an Independent Thinker. One hundred twenty years of U.S. philatelic treasures mounted onto cutdown Harris pages and packed into one bulging American Heirloom binder, 1847 to the late 1960s. Mostly mint, with only a few used. Over many years, the collector bought what he loved most in the U.S. philatelic scene and organized his stamps in the way that pleased him, all with memorable results. On the one hand, there is much to admire in this collection. We found page after page of singles, pairs, and printing oddities from the classic era, with many items having certificates. The list of highlights is huge and begins with Scott #1 and includes most of the early imperforates, numerous nineteenth and early twentieth-century regulars, the complete Columbian Exposition Issue, the complete Trans-Mississippi Exposition Issue, thorough coverage of popular early commemorative singles and sets, and long streaks of Washington-Franklins. The BOB shines especially brightly in this holding and features C1-6, the Graf Zeppelin Issue, the Baby Zeppelin, Parcel Post stamps, Special Delivery stamps, Hunting Permit stamps, Confederate States stamps, Official Mail stamps, Newspaper and Periodical stamps, Revenue stamps, Proprietary stamps, Documentary stamps, and Stock Transfer stamps. The overall total Scott catalog value is enormous. On the other hand, the collection is not without challenges and drawbacks. Occasionally, the arrangement of the stamps is haphazard, and the pages are overloaded and difficult to turn. Also, some items are in the wrong spaces. Finally, although the collection contains overwhelmingly attractive and collectable material, the nineteenth-century section is replete with evidence of missing gum, regumming, possible removed cancels, and reperforating. In close, this lot is worth a long, careful viewing by a similarly independent thinker who can see through any imperfections and recognize its desirability and potential use. | Cat. Value: S.B. 12000.00 Current Bid: $13,500.00 Minimum Bid: $14,000.00
