Deluxe One Carton Starter Kit Stuffed U-Haul carton filled with a better than good start to the fascinating world of philately, or a new direction for the general worldwide collector. At the heart of the box is a lightly used two volume Stanley Gibbons set of "Imperial" albums, containing spaces for all the British Commonwealth issues from 1840 up to 1936. Spaces for full sets on every page (none of the frustrating "short set" layout seen in general worldwide albums) with detailed info on the stamps themselves on the facing page. These well-regarded classic albums retail for over $500.00 if you can find them. The other main album is a one volume Scott International containing mixed pages, all for worldwide pre-1950 issues. This album contains a decent quantity of stamps, with several countries cataloguing in the hundreds of dollars, the GB and Canada sections cataloguing well over $1000.00 each. An empty, brand new Minkus All American album awaits filling. Noted several catalogues and handbooks, general reference plus volumes for USA, w Zealand, Australia, Japan, and Canada (2019 Unitrade). Loads of mint and (mostly) stamps are contained in dozens of approval books, as well as loose and in semi-sorted envelopes. A perfect winter project or gift for the restless philatelist. Estimate
