German States Collection, Outstanding parallel mint and used collection in two Lighthouse albums with innumerable blank pages inserted throughout. The first volume is entirely Bavaria with the other states filling the second. The collection is especially noteworthy for its specialized nature, being replete with cancellations (particularly in the Bavaria), multiples, imperfs and shade, plate and printing varieties. Nothing really rare and not everything is Very Fine but the quality is way above average and there are a good number of expertized items; all-in-all, a fabulous collection.
