Sale 33: The Westpex Sale

Lot 3913 /o   

Worldwide Collection. Extraordinary 'one-of-a-kind' collection in 4 Scott Albums that are virtually filled, to show the extensive completeness, the United States includes a #1, 1869's thru the 30 cent, Columbians thru the $1 and nice used 1930 Zeppelin Set of 3, and nearly every country is just as complete; when an album did not have spaces a separate page was put in for the high values (the 1933 Belgium Orval Abbey set is complete, mint); many countries with offices and colonies have extensive sections that have hundreds of hard to get or seldom offered items; condition on this massive collection is far far above normal as the collector was very condition conscious. Scott catalog value conservatively $200,000.+; Should be inspected to be fully appreciated, a great lot for the worldwide dealer or collector.
Estimate    $20,000 - 30,000.

Realized: $23,000
