We believe that this is the last of the dealer’s stock in homemade boxes that we have been offering over the past number of sales. This collector wanted to become a dealer in his retirement and set out to put together a very organized stock, by country and by Scott number, including common material. Alas, he was getting close to completion, to where he could start going to shows, when his health turned, meaning that collectors have never seen this material. These three boxes, contain Jugoslavia and a range of smaller European countries (as well as others). There is probably almost 3000x #5 glassine envelopes here, typically with 1-30 stamps. More used than mint, more common than better (there are sections where the glassine envelopes are where the value lies). As this file box had some remaining space, we filled it with a small stockbook and a number of "starter packs" that were big in the 1970’s (most are unopened). Conservatively there are 10,000 stamps here, awaiting your discovery. Estimate =
