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.

Sweden Collection on Scott Pages 1872-1957: Over 450 different, mint and used, neatly mounted on clean usable Scott Specialty 2-post album pages. This contains a useful range of late 19th and early 20th century issues with some medium to better values, such as #21, 27, 41, 66, etc. The 1932-57 period is fairly well filled in including more than a dozen mint sets. There are just a few scattered stamps from 1958-76, but the pages are complete through 1983. There are a few minor condition problems in the oldest issues, but overall it is F-VF or better with later issues nearly all VF. This collection is quite suitable for continuation and expansion, particularly if you can use a set of Sweden Specialty pages.

Swedish Christmas Seal Collection 1904-1958 Mint.
Swedish Christmas Seal Collection 1904-1958. The complete set of 55 seals, from the first issue, all Mint. The 1904 was issued after the Danish (worlds first) seal, but it was still issued in the year of the very first Christmas seal! The vast majority are VF. Very fresh and neatly presented on album pages; virtually all appear to have light (peelable) first hinges. Usually such collections have "clunkers" in them, but this collection is very nice! Individual retail totals over $95! This is a great opportunity to get the complete early collection. [233296] Default shipping.

Sweden METAL Handstamp Town Postmarks on 1996-97 Covers: Starting early in 1996, Swedish postmarking dramatically changed to virtually all mail being canceled at (then) 19 regional "Postterminal" centers. Only some letters handed to postal clerks were postmarked at local post offices. Suddenly small town and village postmarks became "rare". Additionally, use of small-size envelopes is very limited -- perhaps less than 5% of all mail. Of a large archive of small-size envelopes I purchased, fewer than 5% were handstamped and only half of those were readable (net is less than 1% of all mail). This offer is for 50 DIFFERENT METAL TOWN POSTMARKS on 1996-97 covers with the then-current animal series. ALL covers are small-size and neat, with readable to superb postmarks (picture is just a random sample). (Old #30164)
