#285/695, C1/QE4, The desirable small balance of an extraordinarily high quality mint collection, consisting of 95 different stamps housed neatly in an expensive Safe hingeless album, at first glance the album appears to be sparsely populated, however the stamps that still remain are of exceptionally high quality, all of which having been selected for their outstanding centering, margins, overall freshness and each is never hinged, while there is nothing rare, there are a number of stamps which catalog from just a few dollars to a couple at $100.00 or more - all in top condition, largely from the 1898 to 1931 period, and the collection is amazingly accompanied by no less than 54 PF or PSE certificates (30 of which are graded between 90 and 98), almost exclusively regular issues, as well as some very nice back-of-the-book issues such as air posts (there are 100 more modern air posts not even counted), special deliveries, a couple of parcel posts and special handling stamps, all o.g., n.h., very fine or better, with a number being true gems.
