One of the largest wholesale lots of used Canada that we have ever offered, pushing a 68 litre Rubbermaid tub to its physical capacity. Assembled in the mid-1990’s, each stamp is in its own #8 sized envelope (including sub numbers by Unitrade - tagging, papers), and clearly marked with Scott number, denomination, and description of the stamp. There are a few thousand envelopes here, with anywhere from 1 to about 50 stamps each. Although technically going back to Edward VII, the concentration is 1965-1995. On a cursory look, we noticed that some of the 1980’s issues include cut up first day covers, with a number of plate blocks with first day cancels, but otherwise everything seems to be off paper. The mass of this lot is significant, and value lurks for the intrepid sorter. A conservative estimate is 50,000 stamps. Estimate =
