There are some useful parts to this lot (including the postage 10¢ and up, numerous better se-tenant issues, and the uncut press sheet of the Civil War issue), and some dubious (what do you do with 2152 3¢ plate blocks?). In coming up with an estimate for the lot, we figured the 1¢ through 4¢ at zero, and the balance (face value $1631.46) at 45% of face .

Realized $900
