	Lot	Condition	Description	Value/Bidding
13 TOTAL IMAGES	366	O	An outstanding largely complete collection and accumulation up to the 1980’s in three clean Scott specialty albums and a few stock books. Other than the first couple pages it’s all mint with much NH. Includes all the bells and whistles plus some specialty material. Starts with a #1 (also one lurking in a counter book) continues with strong Crackow overprints and the 1919 surcharges with many signed. Then, from there on complete less a couple of the best souvenir sheets. Other notables are WW I locals, Groszys, Port Gdansk and Gov’t. in exile. A shelf ready collection with a little more work to be done making pages and mounting some of the material in the stock books.	Cat. Value: S.B. 2200.00 Price Realized: $2,300.00
15 TOTAL IMAGES	367	O	Impressive three volume collection from 1860-2004 in one carton.

13 TOTAL IMAGES	369	FDC	Assortment from 1950 to 2003 in a medium carton from the Golden Flyer Estate. Comprises around 250 mint stamps mainly in blocks of four, souvenir sheets, and folders as well as about forty FDCs, event, commercial covers, postal stationery in a stockbook, slipcase and small cover album. Over ninety items are autographed by Czeslaw Slania, the engraver of these issues. Fantastic offering and hard to find in today’s philatelic market in this quantity.	Cat. Value: S.B. 550.00 Price Realized: $450.00
11 TOTAL IMAGES	370	O	Our largest carton filled with stamps in glassines, bags, on pages liberated from albums and on pages still in binders. The best might be six small boxes of glassines identified and in Scott order. We didn’t check the plastic bags with album pages or much of the rest so this is a bit of a treasure hunt. Many thousands of stamps for only a few hundred dollars.	Cat. Value: S.B. 500.00 Price Realized: $300.00
