Mint accumulation Part A: One collector’s duplicates covering 1971-1989, and what a group it is. Housed in a near-new 64-black page Lighthouse stockbook, each stamp is identified with its Scott number. This is a very complete run, but lots of space has been left to allow the stamps to breathe. Up to 15 of a type, all appear to be never hinged. Notable examples include #272a (8 pairs), #354-355A (at least 12 each, face value over £100), #416-430 (5 sets), #508-520 (8 sets). Plus, there is lots of topical appeal including military, animals, flowers, airplanes, etc. The bonus item is a binder of 1970-76 "Military Uniforms", a group of 22 sheetlets which the owner catalogued at US$579.25 by Scott 2021 and even though they are on "magnetic" photo pages, the items are backed with a paper insert and mounted at the corners, a quick check indicates that they will emerge completely unscathed.
