I am constantly buying large and small collections and often have a variety of U.S. and Worldwide collections, lots, and accumulations available. 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.

Hungary Collection 1874-1994: Many hundreds different on Scott International and other pages. Some mint but mostly used. All periods well represented with many large topicals (space, sports, paintings, etc.). Condition is virtually all F-VF or better with a high percentage VF. A colorful and attractive selection!
Japan 1955-1994 NH VF Virtually Complete Collection: A beautiful and virtually complete collection of these attractive (and usually quite artistic and historical) stamps from 1955 through 1994. Handsomely presented in black Showgard mounts on fresh and clean White Ace pages. Housed in three binders, two of which are like-new Japan-imprinted White Ace binders. Condition is uniformly NH and VF; we only noticed five stamps that were not NH VF. In Japan proper we only noted 9 stamps missing; in the Prefecture stamps, #Z23-69 were not present, but they are inexpensive. The 2007 Scott value is $2063! This is by far the freshest, nicest, most complete modern-era Japan collection I have had in 34 years!

Russia Arctic and Antarctic Cover and Card Collection: Fascinating collection of 84 items, with emphasis on government-issued postal stationery (mix of mint and used). Every item has an Arctic or Antarctic connection in the postmark, usage, illustration, etc. Most of this type of Russian postal stationery is illustrated and thus fit nicely into Polar and/or thematic collections. The items range from the 1970s to the early 1990s. Thematics include polar bears, sled dogs, helicopters and airplanes, icebreakers and other ships, submarines, reindeer, native peoples, polar birds and animals, petroleum, maps, explorers, science and scientists, etc. While there may be a few items worth only a couple dollars each, many/most are worth at least several dollars each. One of the most interesting groups of such items that I have seen in many years.
Saint Helena Collection 1882-1982: About 210 different mint and used, neatly mounted on like-new Scott Specialty pages which run to 1987.
