Train topical lot #3 All aboard for part 3 of our enormous offering of "new issue" purchases from the late 1990’s, bought by a train topical collector, and then left untouched. This offering from mid-1998 to early 2000, has a mix of sets/singles (22 sets), miniature and souvenir sheets (over 63) a complete booklet and four postal stationery cards. Probably 40 countries represented (for example, GB, Ivory Coast, Grenada, Central African Republic, North Korea, Peru, Chad, Guyana, Somalia in just one envelope), although there are more stamps here from issuing bodies unlikely to be recognized by the UPU. There is almost no duplication. You will find the definition of "train" is slightly broad, ranging from steam to diesel. Also, to note that only one stamp may depict a train when offered in a set. Sometimes the depiction is as subtle as in the selvedge of a souvenir sheet. Expect condition to be excellent, mint, never Hinged, except in a couple of cases, where there were minor bends acquired during shipping. Each lot originally cost the collector almost US$600.00. Very difficult to duplicate. Estimate =
