CLEARANCE SALE

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 "178". Country collections from fourty-four packed dealer salesbooks with many thousands different stamps. Countries contain many better sets on dealer sales sheets and generally run from the 1930's to modern stamps. The vast majority of stamps from most countries are Mint and often MNH.

"Series 207". These country collections are made up of individual stamps and sets from an extensive stock of a retired stamp dealer from Scottsdate, Arizona who retired after twenty years of providing mail order price lists. I purchased the stock of several countries that I thought would be of interest to our customers. These stamps range from MNH, to MH and used & CTO's.

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 "289". Selection of better values of primarily Mint Never Hinged sets, singles and Souvenir Sheets from a stock book.

"Series 293". This is an interesting group of individual stamps, put together by a collector and sold to an auction where I purchased it sight unseen. The vast majority on these stamps, around 98%, are used classic pre 1940, mainly regular issues. Some of the stamps obliviously came from an old German album, perhaps before stamp hinged were popular. Some of these were heavily hinged using thick paper hinges. Some of these stamps remain on the original album paper and were trimmed around the stamp. These few stamps that remain hinged on the album paper are identified as being "on paper", and would need to be carefully removed from the paper by soaking the stamp free of its paper hinge. In spite of all this, there are many really nice old classic stamps that would be wonderful additions to your collection. Other stamps are identified as "heavily hinged", but the majority are hinge free. All the stamps in this Series are priced at 10% less than we usually sell individual stamps. This lower pricing is to help make up for any effort on your part to clean up the stamps. This discount applies to all the stamps in this Series, weather they need any extra attention or not. As always, you can return any stamps that you are not pleased with. Have fun with these, there are a lot of very fine stamps in this lot.

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 the nicest Russian material that we’ve had the privilege to offer for this time period.

Series "513". Beautiful mainly pre 1940 collection, although some countries run up to the early 1960's. They are organized on quadrille pages with the scott catalog number written below each stamp. There is tremendous value in these country collections. Each quadrille page with stamps on both sides are mounted in a clear plastic sleeve to help protect the stamps. However, we did notice that some of the stamps are sticking to the page probably due to the way it was stored over the years. However, the stamps and the hinge can be easily loosened off the page. These are still wonderful collections, with lots of hard to find older stamps.

A nice range of United States Mint stamps.

Series #515. A collection of 12 small albums, 8 X 9 1/2, of small foreign countries on quadrill pages.

Series #517. An outstanding accumulation of mint, mostly never hinged United States stamps with numerous blocks of four, plate blocks of four or six, plus strips, etc. The vast majority of these mint stamps were never placed in an album but were organized and kept in clear plastic sleeves. We will probably use a lot of the lower denominations stamps for postage. We don't often see material that is this fresh.

Series "524".

Series 527. A huge supply of philatelic material contained in eleven large plastic storage tubs.
