CLEARANCE SALE

Series “123”. These are high value classic collections of early stamps, generally running up to only the 1920's. These were put together by a very serious British collector. Many countries have been broken down into small time periods, both to help make the collections more affordable and to help collectors focus in on filling just certain specific small periods of time in their own collection. Many of these lots will have duplication of some stamps of both a mint and used copies, as well as various shades. These lots come from an old Scott International album with well-worn pages. Terrific classic stamps to help enhance your own collection.

Series "148". Germany and Colonies. Mint and used stamps to 1990 from a six volume collection, with some collections on Scott Specialty pages and others on Minkus pages.

Series "161". These unusual individual country collections have been organized from a large stock of individual stamps and sets, and placed in glassines. We have been offering these collections for several years now from this huge hoard of stamps. These collections are loaded with mostly used very fine stamps and sets. The glassines are reminiscing of when we were kids and used to buy packets of stamps. However, these are of much higher quality, with lots of value. May contain some minor duplication in some of the countries. In those instances, the prices have been reduced.These lots were priced using a 2011 Scott Catalogue, and thus may be really good buys compared to today’s prices.

Series "241". Selection of sets and individual stamps from Africa. These stamps are from the duplicate stock of an American collector who lived and worked in South Africa.

Series "254". Selection of recent, mostly mint strips, booklets and panes of United States stamps, plus some used classic material. A great selection of US stamps to help you fill in any blank spots that may be missing in your collection. This vast modern U.S. collection was painstakenly put together by a collector who spent hours each week at the USPS Philatelic window here is Tucson. With some issues he strived to collect every possible position with mint blocks of four with margin inscriptions such as "Mr. Zip", etc. Almost all this material is post office fresh, MNH.

Series "258". Immense world wide collection of thousands of mint and used stamps, going to the mid-1990's, packed in 19 volumes (mostly Harris). Stamps are Very Fine throughout, many mint are Never Hinged. Og.

Series "282". A fabulous collection of Italy and States and Occupations. One of the most comprehensive specialized collection that we have had the privilege to sell. Originally mounted in a Scott Specialty album. Surprising are many nice four margin classic stamps which are genuine and sound -- easily worth full catalog or more, such as Modena, Sardinia (specialized for the scarce shades). Selectivity in centering and cancellations are evident throughout, and well above that usually encountered in the Italian area. Obviously damaged to-the-eye have not been counted, nor have obvious reprints or fakes been counted (marked "NC" for "Not Counted").

Series "367". Stock card selection of thousands of mint and used issues, mostly British Commonwealth countries but does contain other countries. Good range of classic stamps as well as some material up to the 1990's. Gererally Very Fine. This Series will be offered for many months to come.

Series "368". An interesting, low value collection mounted on Harris album pages, being sold by country. We did not catalog the stamps, but merely assigned a minimum value per stamp. Contains mostly used stamps plus a lot of CTO's, but there are some scattered mint as well. All the stamps are in clear, plastic mounts. Most collectons range from the 1880s to the 1970s. These should be interesting "junk lots" to sort through for a lot of beautiful, but low value stamps.

Series "385". Relatively modest, small country collections, or variety lots of misc. stamps, mostly used and hinged in no particular order that I can discern, on three-hole lined notebook paper. The upside is that these stamps were obviously carefully selected by the collector for their very clean /neat condition.

Series "386". Scott International collection from 1840-1965 origionally housed in five crammed, bowed Scott volumes. Probably contained 80,000 different stamps.

Series "390". Wonderful comprehensive mostly mint collection to 1995. Highly complete mint & used in the 19th century. Then complete (or virtually so) from 1890-1940 and then virtually complete (often MNH) from 1940-1995, including very strong semi-postals. Beautiful collections.

Series "394". A valuable and terrific collection in an unexpected format. This collection is housed in six Harris Standard albums but is loaded with thousands of mint and used stamps from the late 1880's to late 1960's. It is nicely organized with many not frequently seen stamps from the far flung corners of the globe. The original collector added extra pages to make up for the short comings of the Harris Albums. There is considerable value in these country collections.

Series "413". Classic Worldwide collection form a Scott International album for the years 1840-1940. Mostly all used stamps from a very nice clean collection.

Series "431". Pre-1960 collections from 10 Vol. Scott Internationals.

Series "432". Worldwide Mint & Used Collections from five Minkus Global Albums. Moderately filled with British and French Colonies, South and Central America, Africa and Asia. Generally fine or better centering. The collection is somewhat poorly organized, with some duplication, and stamps falling off their hinges. Still, some interesting stamps and occasional higher values.

Series "436". An immaculate collections all used, very fine stamps from Scott Internationals albums. A postal used only collection is difficult to put together, but this long time collector, and personal friend of mine, succeeded.

Series "437". Seven vol. Scott Int'l. Collection. Contains over 32,000 worldwide before 1962. A mixture of mint and used, but does have some really nice mint sets for many of the countries. Neat and clean country collections.

Series 438. German material including occupations, plus some other interesting countries. The German related material is expertly catalogued using both Scott and Michel German catalogues for varieties not listed in Scott.

Series "447". Beautiful, colorful worldwide collections on Harris Albums pages, supplemented with additional quadrille album pages. This is a very thoughtfully organized and annotated collections with small sections of early pre 1940 stamps, and then large sections of more recent "like new" mint collections of colorful newer stamps and Souvenir Sheets, occasionally supplemented with Non-Scott listed material. There are 54 volumes in this collection. A true labor of love. Many of the Mint stamps are securely mounted to the page with two hinges.

Series "448". Outstanding, mostly used pre-1950 collections. Contains a plethora of highlights of individual Very Fine stamps.

Series "453". Collections from 26 volumes of Scott Int'l. with over $140,000 catalogue value. Beautiful material.

Series "470".

Series "473". A small group of countrry collections mounted on Minkus Album pages.

Series "477". Wonderful old horde of collections purchased from a gentleman here in Tucson. He made dozens of purchases over the past 30 to 40 years from auction firms in Europe as well as in the U.S., buying complete collections, mostly in albums, but also a few stock books here and there. He was fascinated with the beauty and history of stamps but was more a purchaser of stamp collections, than a collector, as the material of his that I have thus far been able to purchase, was never touched or rearranged, but simply stored away over the years. This is a very fine used stamp collection neatly arranged on the pages. Look these descriptions over carefully to see if the stamps could be incorporated into your own collection. You won't be disappointed.

Series "479". Huge worldwide collection to 1940 in 14 Scott International Albums. This is one of the neatest and cleanest collections that I have seen in a long time, with many unusual, not often seen, hard to find stamps. All stamps, whether mint or used are mounted in clear mounts on the album pages, making for beautiful country collections.

Series "491". An outstanding selection of country collections primarily from the British Caribbean Colonies.

Series "495".
