STAMPS

The collection runs the gamut from singles to blocks and plate blocks.
The condition runs from fine to very-fine or better, hinged to never hinged.
Our client just kept buying over the years. There will be items form the Caspary sales,
Siegel sales from the 50’s and early 60’s, and many other auction houses and dealers
right up to last year. In fact it would not surprise me if he is still not buying.
