An astronomical value holding of 360 stamps within 27 retired APS (American Philatelic Society) circuit books. Stamps are predominantly used, with some of the books having been well picked, others barely touched, with "remaining value" being mostly in the $200.00 to $450.00 range per book (US Dollars). A wealth of Queen Victoria / Edward / George V used issued with MANY "schilling values", "seahorses" and high-values throughout. The remaining value (as retail) in these books adds up to an impressive $7500+, which when you consider that the stamps are generally priced at 20% of catalogue value, giving a potential catalogue value of over $37,000 (by 2006 Scott!!). A very nice opportunity for any collector looking to increase their holdings, or show / club / internet dealers looking to make a major addition to their stock. Estimate =
