Denmark #26/1479, B30/B76. A collector’s used duplicates, neatly organized in glassine envelopes and packed into a shoe box. Mostly definitives, getting stronger in the commemorative issues in the 1980’s. Has some mint and used semi-postals, and there are even a few Danish West Indies to round things out. Glassines usually have one Scott number (although some are sorted by denomination awaiting further separation), with 5 to 100 copies in each. Lots of cancel potential, most catalogue up to $3.00 each, but there are thousands of stamps here. Perfect for the hunter/specialist. Estimate =

Egypt #33/731. Substantial mint accumulation of pre-1967 regular issues, mostly never hinged and all neatly sorted and identified by Scott numbers.

Egypt #48/1510 plus Back of the Book. Bundleware by the hundreds, covering just over a century of Egyptian philately (1889-1993). Most are well wrapped up (with its Scott number), like a mummy, but a small number have split, which has allowed us to see that there are lots of readable cancels throughout. Most are more common, as you would expect, with up to 15 bundles (of 100 stamps) of a particular issue, but we did see better such as 5 bundles (500 stamps) of the £1 King Farouk (#240, catalogues $7.00 per stamp, total $3500.00!!!). While there are some airmail and official bundles, there is also a grouping of revenue stamps in glassine envelopes, circa 1950-1976, which we will leave you to research. Contained in several smaller boxes, this group occupies most of a bankers box, so potential and value are everywhere! Estimate =
