BREAKING UP A *HUGE* COLLECTION!!
This sale is for one (1) Large Flat Rate Box (12 inches x 12 in x 5 in) STUFFED with PAGES from a stamp collection. Mostly U.S. stamps , some international stamps, postage due stamps, airmail stamps, and assorted corners from postal stationery. The collector was a complete amateur, and used mostly 20 pocket coin pages (although a few have more pockets, 25?) to protect the stamps under clear plastic.
Almost 20 pounds , including the sheets!
MANY doubles! MANY years of collecting!
No particular order -- U.S. and Foreign stamps on the same page, assorted decades.
Interesting note: Almost EVERY pocket has 2 of the exact same stamp, back to back.
Mostly 1960s and 1970s, I have also found many from the 1950s, 1940s, and older.
Several copies of a WWII stamp that says " Win The War " :-)
Please see photos -- I've overlapped pages to show some of the variety of stamps.
Mostly cancelled. I've found some Easter Seals and even two small Fishing Licenses! I've pulled out all the non-postage items that I saw (but I'm sure you'll find some more).
Sorting this box will be Much More than a weekend project!
~~~
I started with almost FIVE complete storage boxes of this, over 160 lb altogether. I started looking through the pages and realized I don't have the time, knowledge, or patience to go through this overwhelming collection. I'm not sure what would be considered desirable, which ones might be damaged, or how to even sort these stamps. I have been told that these old sheets are not the ideal pages to store stamps in (as they were made for coins, not stamps), and I don't even know how to safely remove them from the sheets and store them properly , so I'm selling them AS IS . Hopefully you find more keepers than filler ! If you decide that you enjoy this mixture of stamps, please let me know and I'll be more than happy to pack up more for you.
I'm more than happy to email additional photos to you, Just Ask! I'd much rather take the time to send you photos than have you open the box to find something other than what you want. :-)
The box you receive will be FULL to the TOP, plus some extra pages stuffed in the edge (visible on the right side of the first photo). In the picture, I had taken some pages out to photograph the stamps.
Immediate payment is due by PayPal, so I can mail your item more quickly. As soon as PayPal transfers your payment to me, I'll ship your Stamps! I'm shipping via USPS Priority Mail, plus delivery confirmation.
Selling to U.S. addresses only, please email if you have any questions!
