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.

Worldwide Christmas Seals: Small, but interesting collection of 54 worldwide (NO U.S.) Christmas seals, all from the 1920s-30s. All but one are mint (hinged) and appear to be in excellent condition. Several countries represented (I am not sure of all of the countries). Some are definitely in the "better" category.

Worldwide Souvenir Sheet Collection: Collection of about 200 (plus or minus a couple) NH VF souvenir sheets from a tremendous variety of countries. All are fresh and attractive, with a wide variety of topical represented. Each is in a mount on a nicely written up page, with a total of three binders! They all seem to date from 1985 or before, with concentration in the early 1980s, the 1970s, and then scattered back to the late 1930s. While I know some to be common, just a bit of quick spot checking found many with values in the $2-6 range. I only checked a few, so there could be higher values as well. There is a tremendous range of topics represented, including sports, Olympics, ships, trains, birds, flowers, etc., etc. This would even be an excellent lot for a dealer specializing in souvenir sheets or topicals. I do not have time to put these in our own stock (otherwise I would) or calculate total value, but it would not surprise me if the total catalog value was over $500, or even more (but no guarantees). Priced for quick sale.

Thematic Display Collections: An unusual professionally prepared collection of 27 "display pages" measuring 10 x 12.75 inches, each with a different theme illustrated by worldwide stamps, printed graphics, and printed text. Some of the subjects are space, artists, Bible, Olympics, flags, Kennedy, seashells, airplanes, butterflies, Scouting, Americana, wildlife, birds, ships, Civil War, etc. As an additional bonus, there is also a presentation collection on drafting the Articles of Confederation (U.S.) and on the conquest of space. While not the usual "collector fare", these pages would be absolutely fabulous for displays in schools, libraries, post offices, public buildings, etc., etc. Be a promoter of philately and use these to get others interested.

1980 Winter Olympics Mint Sheet Collection: Collection of 25 full sheets of world wide stamps issued for the 1980 Winter Olympics. All the stamp issues naturally depict winter sports. I have not attempted to check catalog values, but, with a total of 735 stamps, there must be a lot of face and catalog value in this group. Each issue with an extensive write-up. Housed in attractive, oversized, sheet binder -- even if you did something else with the sheets themselves, the sheet binder would be very useful (they tend to be quite costly if you need one large enough for big sheets). The original owner apparently paid over $500 for this collection. Priced at less than 10 cents per stamp -- that has to be a bargain!
