Mint block and plate block "investment" holding in a shoebox with hundreds of glassine envelopes, starting in the 1920's, all with Scott numbers. We put investment in quotation marks because the catalogue prices appear to be from the heady days of around 1981 and are not reflective of the current market. The owner’s note indicates that the total catalogue value was US$6250.00, but we suspect that the current reality is about half this amount in the current catalogue. The condition is all over the place, with there being a mix of never hinged to hinge remnants. There are a few higher catalogue blocks that we took out and put on black cards. Most are single blocks, but a few have some duplication or are larger pieces. Includes Washington, Prexies, National Parks, etc. Great for the collector of plate blocks. Estimate =
