Auction 62
Lot 458 /o/ U.S. and Foreign, 1850's-1980's, a huge chaotic mish-mash of mint and used stamps, covers, FDC's, picture post cards and ephemera, the disorganized balance of a hoarder's estate, accumulated over decades. 6 large boxes hold mini-collections, in albums, on pages, or in stock books. Catalog values probably mount into many thousands, possibly tens of thousands. This includes some U.S. face value postage. 1 large box holds loose stamps in glassines. Completely unorganized but with occasional value, up to perhaps $100 per item. 2 large boxes hold covers (some with real postal history value), FDC's, and a huge number of picture post cards. 1 large box holds ephemera, such as old Life magazines, a few baseball cards (1960's?), pokemon cards and more. There is some real value here - and a lot of work to dig through and find it. Bring your own shovel (BYOS). Shipping weight 366 lbs / 166 kilos. Estimate $2,000 - 3,000. |
