Misused Mint Mass Mess. Medium sized carton packed with a massive but very tragic hoard of mint material, Queen Victoria through QEII period issues (mostly late GeoVI and QEII). ALL STUCK TOGETHER DUE TO IMPROPER STORAGE IN AN ATTIC FOR DECADES. Noted some very good stamps and plate blocks in the mix with an absolutely obscene total theoretical catalogue value in the many thousands of dollars if they were all NH. Still a worthwhile (major) soaking project, with literally hundreds of dollars of still useable face value present (even excluding the damaged stamps) in the mix. Some of the stacks of stuck plate blocks are over an inch thick! Set aside a few weeks at least for the soaking part and you'll need at least a dozen glue sticks if you want to use the recovered stamps on mail. Estimate
