Tristan Da Cunha Mint/NH Collection 1952-1996: Virtually complete collection from the first issue, up into 1996, and with the first three postage due sets. The first two sets are lightly hinged, but everything appears to NH after that. All sets, including the long ones, appear to be complete. In the 1980s-90s there are perhaps a dozen sets or souvenir sheets not present, but it is remarkably complete. Includes a nice write-up about the island plus 20 interesting Tristan covers, mostly ship and ship mail related. Handsomely presented on black German-made Lighthouse-brand Vario 3-ring pages in a black Lighthouse 3-ring binder with slip case. These are nice pages, not cheap knock-offs! The pages and binders retail about $60. Total 2010 Scott value is approximately $1260. Many of the later sets are remarkably hard to find now and sell at high percentages of catalog value. Offered exactly as received. This collection is a terrific base for further expansion and is the nicest Tristan collection I have yet had. |
