There is no truth to the assertion that this was the childhood stamp collection of Edward Scissorhand..however, the previous owner felt it was more expedient to cut out pages from albums and notebooks than to remount the stamps elsewhere. The good news is that the collector had a good eye for attractive used Queen Victoria issues. There are a baker’s dozen of pages (13), with a total of 115 stamps, up to 1/- denominations. Lots of notes identifying individual stamps, printings and plates, but we have not verified any of these so take a good look at the scans to judge for yourself. Based on the listed Scott catalogue values, it doesn’t appear that this material has been handled since at least the 1980s. Great postmark potential throughout. Total lowest 2023 Scott US$2,522.00 =
