Pot Luck.Please look at the photos carefully. ZOOM-IN by using the eBay zoom feature. I am not an expert. It has been decades since I have fooled with these stamps. They are not being described as perfect, or anywhere near it - unless it says so in the description. There may be other imperfections that I may have missed.

It has come time to sell the collection. I am starting at the beginning of the album. Then, to the Back-of-Book stamps. After which, I will list the foreign stamps within the album. I'm sure this will take a while, as there are thousands of stamps in this book. But, at this point in my life - money is needed more than the memories.NOTE: The first few photos are of the actual stamp (or stamps - if more than one is offered for sale in this auction) that you will receive. The photos following are of the album from which they have rested for over 100 years. You may see a speck of yellowed paper in some of the photos. This is part of the deterioration of the album, not the stamp. The speck is not attached, or in any way a permanent part of the stamp and I simply didn't notice it until I began processing the photos on my computer. In other words, it can be removed from the stamp by simply blowing on it.REGARDING FEEDBACK: Please do not post anything OTHER than POSITIVE fe... read more
