Unique Greenland Collection 1938-1988 in Fifty Years Book: Using the Danish-language edition of the Greenland Post book "Greenland Seen Through 50 Years of Stamps 1938-1988", the previous collector created a unique collection by mounting the stamps in neat black mounts in the spaces / on the pictures in the book where intended. Though the text of the book is in Danish, there are pictures on almost every page and it is quite clear how the stamp(s) on that page relate to the book content. The book appears to be complete (have spaces for) the 50-year period; EVERY SPACE IS FILLED, except for the costly overprinted Scott #19-27. The stamps are either Mint (mostly NH) or Used. The scarce Scott #10-18 set is present Used VF, with genuine, typical postmarks of the Greenlandic postal office in København -- this set alone sells for $387. (Though I do not have a copy of the English-language edition to offer at this moment, one could eventually easily transfer the stamps to the English version if desired.) This very interesting approach really puts the stamps in their historical and cultural context. This is the only such collection / use of this book that I have seen -- very creative! The total individual retail value is over $750 and probably at least $850! |

Greenland 1938, 1950-1960, and 1963-1968 Definitive Issues on Exhibition Pages: Three exhibit pages from the Margaret Morris (of Scotland) exhibition collection. Ms. Morris certainly had one of the finest Greenland collections in Scotland prior to it being purchased by one of our clients who obtained it to acquire some of the key items in her collection. These pages are just too attractive for me to dismount the stamps, but they are priced (discounted) as the normal stamps; nothing extra for these pages. 1938: Scott #1-5,7,9 [there is enough space at the bottom of the page that you could add the #6 and #8 1946 stamps, but they were not originally on this page; 1950-1960 Scott #28-38 plus #31a; 1963-1986 Scott 48-65. The stamps are all hinged (appears to be just once), and have centering ranging from VF to F-VF with a couple Fine. The overall appearance is outstanding. The individual selling prices total $96. ALSO INCLUDED AT NO COST are similar pages (without stamps) for the American Issue without overprints, with overprints, and with wrong-color overprints (Scott #10-18, 19-27, and 22a-27a) ... again, that final group is just free pages, not with stamps). Also included at no extra cost are eight Mylar-type exhibition page protectors "British Library System / Frank Godden Ltd." (to hold pages 220 x 260 mm; overall size 221mm x 266mm) -- now available from www.dauwalders.co.uk at 57.95 Pounds per 50, plus costly shipping. |
