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 "203". This series contains both U.S. and worldwide material. This is on consignment from a collector in Montana who had hoped at one time to become a stamp dealer. These lots come from a huge accumulation of dealer-type material. This material will be presented in all kinds of formats including dealer display cards, glassine envelopes, shoe boxes, etc.

"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 222". Australian States. Excellent collections of Tasmania, Victoria, and other states taken from a pristine sets of Scott Specialty pages. These are the nicest looking Australian States stamps that I have ever come across. These are not the usual "beat up" stamps that are often encountered from the "rough and tumble frontier days" of Australia. These collections were apparently carefully put together and are loaded with better stamps, nearly all are Very Fine. Please note that according to Linn's "Very Fine examples of early Australian States will have perforations slightly cutting into the frame or design on one or more sides due to the narrow spacing of the stamps on the plates. Stamps with perfs clear on all sides are SCARCE to RARE and would command higher to substantially higher prices".

Series "327". Collections from 28 Scott Internationals with tens of thousands of stamps from 1941-1997. The majority are used, but there are also many mint singles and sets, with a few MNH stamps. Many better countries.

Series "348". United States stamps originally from a Scott Specialty album. Hundreds of better stamps. Mostly used to about 1910 and mint 1910-1980. A very nice high quality collection, F-VF. As part of this collection we are offering an unusual range of pre-canceled Town & Type stamps on page 2-4. These are arranged by Scott stamp type. Thus there may be an individual stamp with several different Town & Type cancels offered together. These may be of great interest to Pre-Cancel collectors.

Series "380".

Series "414". U.S. modern collection, USPS Year Books, face, etc.

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". Souvenir Sheet.

Series "447".

Series "469". Nice and clean collections from 24 Scott specialty albums for years 1860-1990.

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

Series "475". A wonderful collection of assorted country collections along with a number of fantastic topical collections neatly and painstakingly illustrated and assembled over the years. The quality of these collections far exceeds what we normally see coming up for sale. This collection was put together over the years by a gentleman who was a career Navy helicopter pilot, serving both on land and on aircraft carriers. Now retired, he and his wife live in a small rural community about two hours northeast of Tucson.

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 "495".

Series "497". Collections from 26 volumes of Scott Int'l. with over $140,000 catalogue value. Beautiful material.

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.

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

A beautiful mint selection of Italian colony collections including to include but not limited to Cyrenaica, Agean and Ionian Islands and other countries.

Series #522, Scott Specialty binders with mostly Mint stamps, from Africa countries and others. Outstanding, nice and neat collection. Vast majority of stamps are MINT and are in mounts.

Series "524".

Fantastic Mint collection on Scott pre-1930 collections.
