Lot 89
Postal card accumulation, 1873-1911, Approximately 2000 used cards mostly between #UX1/UX25, UY1/UY14 loose and neatly sorted in six Lighthouse stockbooks, including some mint plus a used #UX4 (small flaws) and a few other unusual usages such as R.P.O./R.R. territorial and color/star cancels as well as plate varieties. By far the most valuable sections are the Columbian Exposition and cards used to foreign destinations incl. both international and regular cards with adhesives added; while most are to Western Europe (primarily England and Germany) there are some other, more exotic destinations. Mixed condition, especially among the loose cards, but generally an F-VF lot and well worth viewing for possible better items.
