I am constantly buying large and small collections and have built up quite a stock of nice, clean Scandinavian country collections. If you are considering getting into a new area and would like a "starter collection" (whether small or large), let me know about your interest. Also, if you are seeking used binders or used empty albums to match what you currently have, again, let me know. Here are a few samples of collections. The listings below are included by happenstance. If you are seeking a particular country or type of material, please let me know. Payment plans are available. I guarantee your satisfaction.
Due to the low prices and variation in weight, shipping cost is additional for items in the Specials Collections listings unless otherwise mentioned. When ordering please include a note in the shopping cart comments section indicating if you prefer faster/costlier or slower/cheaper delivery so that I may more quickly quote the shipping costs and options for you.
Each item is one of a kind; orders will be filled in order of receipt. Payment by MasterCard or Visa suggested, but I will hold items for 10 days pending receipt of check if you prefer.

Finland Mint Collection 1891-1975 on Scott Pages: Neat group of Scott Specialty pages (punched for 2-post binder, pages starting with 1891), with good range of Mint stamps. Light coverage up to 1950 but well-filled thereafter. Includes very good range of semi-postal stamps. Neatly hinged (seems to be very good, peelable hinges) on pages very clean and attractive. The quality almost universally VF. JSA retail (mint hinged prices) is over $610 with any potential paper varieties counted at the least costly possibility. A great and inexpensive way to get a lot of stamps and the album pages too.

Finland Used Collection 1891-1979 on Scott Pages: Complete set of Scott Specialty pages (punched for 2-post binder, pages starting with 1856), with very nice range of Used stamps. Excellent coverage starting at 1895 and fairly well-filled up to 1979, includes very good range of semi-postal stamps (which are quite scarce used). Neatly hinged on very clean and attractive pages. The quality almost universally VF. JSA retail is $680 with any potential paper varieties counted at the least costly possibility. The pages are in a Scott Specialty binder that looks nice sitting on the shelf, but the binding hinges are broken (the binder is not counted in the value and if you prefer -- to save on shipping -- the pages can be shipped without the binder). A great and inexpensive way to get a lot of stamps and the album pages too.

Finland NH Collection 1985-2002 on Scott Pages: Excellent coverage, probably about 85% complete, of NH stamps from 1985 through 2002, with neatly installed black mounts in virtually every spot whether there is a stamp present or not (saving you a lot of work and great expense, especially in this era). There are a total of about 259 different stamps, panes, and souvenir sheets (which means lots more stamps because panes and s/s often contain quite a few different stamps). Condition appears to be perfect with every stamp VF or better! Good range of commemoratives and regular issues, but no back-of-book stamps. The JSA individual is about $679 -- there is a lot of value here! The Scott pages are fresh and clean in like-new condition. I do not often have such a nice, neat collection of this era.

Finland Mint Collection 1941-2002: Collection of over 450 different mint, plus a few booklets, neatly mounted in Scott Specialty album. Pages run from 1856 through 2002 but are mixed: some are printed and some are hand-lettered quad pages, all in a slightly worn but quite serviceable 2-inch green 2-post Scott "Scandinavia and Finland" binder. Greatest strength is in lightly hinged 1954-78 issues including both commemoratives and some elusive definitives in issues from the 1979-2002 period, and some semi-postal sets of the 1940s-50s. While not comprehensive, what is here is in quite nice condition almost uniformly VF with the later issues all NH. Scott 2012 retail totals over $825. This is certainly an excellent value at an attractive price!

Finland Semi-Postal Collection 1922-88: Between B1//B240, 1922-88 Collection of 115 different mint, vast majority (over 100) in complete sets. Issues to 1965 are on Scott Specialty pages, rest on Specialty style quadrilled pages. A few early numbers are hinged, but overall mostly NH, virtually all VF. Scott 2012 retail totals $184.30, so here is an opportunity to acquire numerous issues all at once at a significant savings!

Finland Collection 1866-1976: Collection of about 425 different on Scott Specialty pages. Some used but vast majority mint. Most of the value is in mint lightly hinged commemoratives of 1940s-70s and semi-postals of 1930s-70s. Condition is generally F-VF or better with a large percentage VF. The pages are usable; some have black Hawid mounts. Scott 2014 retail totals well over $600. Extra bonus: a tolerable Scott #13 (Scott $290) not counted in catalog value. Overall a rather clean colorful collection!

Finland Collection / Accumulation 1875-1965: Collection / Accumulation of well over 1000 Finland stamps, 1875-1965, some mint but mostly used, mounted on pages. Some duplication, heaviest in the 19th Century Arms issues and Saarinen Lions and rather slight after 1927. The 20th Century has a wide range of commemoratives and semi-postals. Condition varies: expect some very minor faults, but a high percentage will be F-VF or better. This should prove useful for filling mid-20th Century spaces and interesting for older shades and cancels!

Finland Collection / Accumulation 1875-1982: Collection / Accumulation of well over 1100 Finland stamps, 1875-1982, a few mint but nearly all used, mounted on quadrilled pages in an older Springback binder. Duplication is heaviest in the older issues including the 19th Century Arms and the Saarinen Lions. Many common, but also a useful range of 20th Century commemoratives and semi-postals. Condition is generally sound and F-VF or better with much VF. The older issues could be potentially useful for shades and cancels! (The binder can be removed for cheaper shipping if you wish.)

Finland Accumulation in Two Stockbooks: Accumulation of over 1400 Finland, 1885-1978, a few mint but mostly used, in two useful stockbooks (one Lighthouse, one Davo). Some partially grouped by issue; many in no apparent order whatsoever. Many regular issues including many Saarinen Lion, but also a fair selection of commemoratives scattered throughout. Condition is nearly all sound and F-VF to VF. While we do not notice any obviously scarce stamps, we did not make any effort to check for scarce perforations or watermarks. There do seem to be quite a few stamps with readable town cancels. A fun lot for anyone who enjoys sorting a truly varied accumulation!

Finland Collection Balance 1917-59: Collection balance of 275 different, mint and used on Scott Specialty pages. Includes a useful range of commemoratives plus many semi-postals including sets. We note only a couple very minor condition problems; nearly all F-VF or better with much VF. The album pages run from 1856 to 1959 and are quite clean and usable, some with black Showgard mounts. Scott 2014 retail totals over $400. A very neat and attractive selection!

Finland M-30 Covers with All Different 1948-52 Town Cancellations: Impressive collection of 386 covers bearing 1930 Lion issue with ALL DIFFERENT 1948-52 town cancels. Concentrated around 1950, they have a mix of bridge-type (double-ring) and single-ring cancels. There are only a dozen or so machine cancels. There were very few cities and only a modest number of large towns in Finland in 1950, thus most of these are from small towns or tiny villages; many are likely to be scarce. Domestic genuine commercial usages on SMALL SIZE ENVELOPES (none with windows) with a nice variety of stamp frankings. Individually these sell for at least $5 each and up to $8-10 each (individual total around $2300). ALL 386 DIFFERENT FOR LESS THAN $2 PER COVER! Payment terms may be arranged. (Old #30221)
