High Catalog, Mainly Mint Collection, 1851-2006, comprehensive starter collection in three Scott National albums; 19th century issues are very mixed, primarily with centering or gum issues; by 1879 however, condition becomes somewhat better, though there are still a few problems and condition is seldom better than Fine on the best stamps, including #218, 1890 Issue complete, Columbians to the $2, 1894 Bureaus to the $1 (type I), 1895 Bureaus to the $2, Trans-Mississippis to the 50¢ and 1902s to the $2 (last with 1991 PFC); from the Washington-Franklins onward most are F-VF, including 404, 500, 505 and 523, and NH 599A (NH pair), 634A and Kans.-Nebr. overprints; Airmails lack only C13-15, Special Deliveries are complete, as are Shanghais and Parcel Posts; and Postage Dues and Officials are quite solid. Overall an exceptional starter collection or a terrific lot from which to fill those tough spaces without paying a huge premium for condition.
Estimate $12,000 - 15,000

Valuable Collection, 1851-1982, Fairly complete collection in a bulging Lighthouse hingeless album with just about every space filled from the 1851s right through 1980, mostly mint or unused with some of the higher values being used; highlights are too numerous to mention, so we reiterate that almost every space is filled. Condition, of course, is extremely mixed with most of the best stamps having minor to severe faults and with centering not being a priority. Still, with its huge catalog value, a valuable lot.
Estimate $12,000 - 15,000

High Catalog Collection, 1857-1929, a duplicated, mainly mint/unused collection on two sets of Mystic American Heirloom pages in a single binder; begins with two #26 and proceeds through the 1861s, the Bank Notes (including a couple of 90¢ Columbians to 50¢ (times 2), Bureaus as high as $2, Trans-Mississippis to 8¢ (2), Pan-Americans complete (2), 1902s, Washington-Franklins, etc, plus the Airs include two sets of C1-6 and two C18s. Scott value is very high, but condition is extremely mixed and we noticed some cleaned cancels among the earlies; still a useful lot for a collector looking to fill spaces or a dealer who has a market for lesser quality material.
Estimate $7,500 - 10,000

Mint & Used Collection, 1857-1995, two-volume Scott National album; virtually all used and with very little of any value to the late 1920s and nearly all mint but only moderate value after that; includes Airs and back-of-the-book, but, again, not much to speak of. The value is almost entirely in the modern face value.
Estimate $300 - 400

Commemorative Plate Block Collection, 1919-1944, complete for the period all clean and Never Hinged; centering was not the owners primary concern so the 5¢ Huguenot-Walloon is VG and the 5¢ Pilgrim is just Fine, but the 1919 3¢ Victory and the Norse-Americans are solid F-VF; also, in addition to the Commems of the period, there is a complete set of Presidential plate blocks. Also includes a collection of Airmail and Back-of-the-Book plate blocks, 1941-1989, including three C31 and two C46 plus J88-101, all NH. A great lot.
