# 16/3820 plus Back of the Book
|
Four small boxes (about the size of a small shoebox) from an aspiring vest-pocket dealer’s stock that never was viewed by customers. Mostly used stamps, sorted and identified by Scott number with each number getting its own glassine envelope. Anywhere from one to about 50 copies in each glassine. We estimate that there are at least 2500 x #5 sized (6" x 3.5") glassine envelopes, with well over 7,000 stamps including the occasional small-sized souvenir sheet. The stamps that are here are in decent condition and quick peek indicates that few catalogue more than $5.00 each. Besides a good run of regular issues from 1920-2005, the "back of the book" includes semi-postal, airmail, postage due, official and General Government. This collector was transitioning to being a dealer, but never made the leap. The material has potential for unidentified shades, varieties and printings not listed by Scott. At this estimate, the lot doesn’t even cover the cost of the glassine envelopes! Estimate =
