Computer generated album covering up to 2012, with a couple thousand mostly used stamps. We note that this looks very complete post-WWII (but no "back of the book"). There are pages for States (noted many Bavarian issues) and "Kolonies" with each page being individually housed in page protectors. What adds intrigue to this already solid collection is that many of the earlier pages from earlier issues have scatterings of unmounted material that has been slid into the page protector, sometimes dozens of stamps at a time. Not sure if these were duplicates, or better condition/nice cancels that had been set aside, but it definitely gives the feeling of hidden possibilities. The lot also includes a second binder with 20 manilla stockpages with similar, duplicate material from the same time period. Estimate =
