Pair of Minkus albums with pages up to the end of 1998, looks to be a complete run of basic issues, including Geneva and Vienna (but missing souvenir sheet #38). Most are singles, but a few souvenir sheets and sheetlets are noted (e.g. flags to 32c, International Year of the Ocean, UN 50th Anniversary, etc.) Stamps appear to be mint Never Hinged and are housed in professional looking black mounts. The issues from the 1990’s started to have increasing frequency and face value, plus collectors on subscription service were often obligated to buy more than the basic issues, leading to many dropping their service. Subsequently these issues are harder to find than in the UN’s glory days. Lot includes some loose leftovers, including duplicates, more "new issue" glassines, a few first day covers, some unused postal stationery and a couple of presentation folders. Fifty years of coverage in one lot! Estimate =
