Balance of a Connoisseur's Collection, a few hundred mint stamps in two Lindner "T" hingeless albums. Starts with a #65 followed by a few Banknotes, Columbians, Bureaus, Trans-Miss., etc. The collection tends toward the lower values because all the medium and higher values were lotted individually. But that doesn't mean there's nothing left — there is! The collector only bought quality stamps so almost everything is Extremely Fine. And because he attempted to acquire only NH, nearly everything is, though there are a few finger prints and "sliders". Issues run to 1936 and include worthwhile Special Deliveries, Shanghais, Dues and Parcel Posts as well. A special lot for today's marketplace because it will yield many candidates for graded certificates in the 90-95 range.
