Europa Collection 1956-2019. An extensive MINT collection of Europa (by far, the most complete we have seen in some time) arranged within four deluxe Lighthouse brand albums (with slipcases) on computer generated pages. A total of 3932 stamps and 240 souvenir sheets, complete for the 1956-2004 period and then about 80% complete thereafter. Unfortunately, the stamps have been heavily hinged, causing most of them to be stuck in the albums. We catalogued Volume 1 (1956-1979) and came out with a catalogue value of over US$2000.00, with the following albums likely along the same line in terms of catalogue value. The previous owner states that over $6000 was spent on putting this collection together, often one set at a time purchased from European dealers as the material can be tough to find in Canada. Also, note a couple of the albums are in need of repair, with the spine coming dislodged from the jacket. A nice chance to acquire largely complete Europa collection. Estimate =
