ALL WORLD. ★★/★/⊙. One mans lifetime collection housed in over 40 albums, mint and used, most countries in the world here represented from Aden through to Zanzibar, much is in complete sets especially in the latter part of the 20th century, but also a good range of QV 19th century through to 1945. We found an average of 2500 stamps per album of which, each had several dozen pages from (60 min to 90 max), little duplication, the overwhelming majority being one of a kind. There must be 100,000 stamps, all completely uncatalogued and while we did not see any rarities, there are many 1000s of stamps here cataloguing between €1 to €20 each. We guestimate the catalogue must be in the order of €200,000. If you are looking for a well rounded foundational worldwide collection, including some 19th/early 20th century then look no further, as this is absolutely fit for purpose. The British Commonwealth would be the strongest, followed by Western Europe particularly former European Colonies. Show less

ALL WORLD. ★★. Topicals, mint miniature sheets and sets, 2000 to 2018. An extremely diverse range housed in 3 well filled volumes with very colourful new issues up to the year 2018 with hardly anything, if anything before 2000, a few miniature sheets, some of which will sell around $10+ each. Virtually all the sets are from countries, such as Estonia, Japan, Thailand, Great Britain, France Luxembourg (euro), Ukraine, Zambia, etc. However these are a small part of the value compared to the miniature sheets from Liberia, Malaysia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Maldives, Niger, Poland, Sierra Leone, St Vincent, Zambia to name a few, etc of various shapes and sizes, as well as gold and silver, metallic and every colour of the rainbow! Many different themes, for examples cars, wildlife, Olympics, space, royalty, military particularly WW2, horses, chess, science, soccer, table tennis, etc, etc. Some of the printing numbers are very small indeed, occasional printings numbers in the low 1000s or even less, as identified. A remarkable range with a new issue cost many multiples of our estimate and represents a tremendous retail opportunity. Ideal for a dealer or thematic collector not looking for duplication. Show less

ALL WORLD. Mostly used. One man's lifetime collection, housed in 10 well filled albums, mint and used with plenty of sets, as well as high values, completely uncatalogued and very substantial. The 1st volume Afghanistan through to BAT, the 2nd album is Brazil imperf eyes through to Costa Rica, the best section probably being China from coiling dragon through to large Mao, as well as further better sets from the 1950s leading on Taiwan with se-tenant strips etc, the 3rd album is Cuba through Ethiopia with the best being Cyprus. The 4th album is Faroes through to IOM with loads of face value mint sets, as well as eurozone mint France, the 5th album is from Greece through to Italy, again plenty of mint sets as well as various ranges of 19th and early 20th century. Time does not permit further outline other than the pattern continues for the other 5 albums, i.e. the 6th with Japan through to Mongolia, the 7th Montserrat to Poland, the 8th Portugal through to SWA, the 9th Spain through to United Arab Emirates and finally the 10th album USA through to Zimbabwe. This collection will probably catalogue in the order €100,000+ the value is obvious throughout. A highly recommended viewing. Show less
