Canada Cancels

A cancel collector’s dream. A 68-litre Rubbermaid container holds all of the loose scraps from a voracious cancel collector. Both on and off paper, some in "102" cards, some in glassines, most are loose. Nothing but chaos, with a bit of material going back to the Victorian-era and with some up to about 2020. Not everything has a clean cancel, but conservatively 50% do, with strength from Western Canada, but there is something from almost everywhere. Tens of thousands of stamps. There should be some better individual stamps, but most of the appeal lies in the hand cancels, either for the cancel collector or for the collector looking for striking examples to improve the look of their used Canadian collection.
