Rep. issues for 1973-83 are complete MNH on Lighthouse pages. 19th century condition is quite mixed but the 20th is generally F-VF. Overall, quite a useful representation.

Great Britain Collection, valuable collection from 1840 to the mid-1970s in a 5-volume Safe "dual" hingeless album (pages go to 1994). 1840 issues comprise a 1d Mulready envelope, three Penny Blacks and two 2d Blues and the collection continues similarly right through the KGV issues with nearly every space filled. Included are the following used high values: 1867 5s rose plate 2, 1878 10s slate, 1882-83 £1 brown lilac on white, 1883 £5 orange, 1884 £1 watermarked crowns (3), 1888 £1 watermarked orbs, 1891 £1 green, 1902 £1 KEVII (2) and 1913 £1 seahorse; also included are a mint £1 seahorse and a mint £1 P.U.C. And, included along with all these high values are all the expected mid-value stamps in the $100-$500 range with additional duplicates, a variety of plate numbers and even a couple Specimen overprints. Condition is rather mixed, especially on the QV issues, but there are lots of Fine to Very Fine stamps, even among the higher values. An excellent lot and one worthy of careful examination.

Greece Collection, 1861-1987, fairly complete collection in a Scott Specialty album, starts with about 130 large Hermes heads with a valiant, but only partially successful attempt at classification. These are followed by a solid run of mainly used issues up to 1980, then MNH to 1985 with a few later. We note attractive 4-margin #6 (unused) and 3-margin #7 (used) plus unused 5d & 10d 1896 Olympics (regummed) but nothing else of great value—just a lot of useful mid-range stamps including used commemoratives from the 1960-70s, which you don't often see. Condition is a little mixed, especially early, but is generally F-VF.
