Box of "Curated" Topical collections, including "The History of Aviation" with 50 First Day Covers, each mounted on its own page (circa 1978). Keeping with the transportation theme, there is a pair of pocket albums with Train stamps, circa 1985 (often Caribbean in a pair on a page with an extensive description of the train). Next topic is Olympics sports (a first day collection for the 1980 Moscow and another for the 1988 Summer and Winter games). For animal collectors there is a pair of albums produced for the World Wildlife Fund circa 1980 (mint stamp/set with matching maxi-card and FDC). Finally, there is a thin volume with non-US countries commemorating the United States’ 1976 Bicentennial on FDCs. These sets had outrageous original costs, often targeted at non-collectors or as "investments". They have significant value still when broken up for retail sale. Estimate =
