Hello fellow stamp collectors! This has been an “interesting” week weather-wise here in northern California. We’ve had it all: sun, rain, wind, thunder, lightening, and hail. Up in the Sierras to the east of us, anywhere from 4 - 7 feet of fresh snow has been added to the annual snowpack. Saw in this morning’s newspaper that the Boreal Ski Resort on I-80 by Donner summit is reporting a base of 144 inches of snow - that’s over ten feet, and they are not even close to being at the highest elevation! Well, here in the Sacramento valley we’ve got a nice sunny day, although a bit chilly.
This evening we’ve got 20 stamp auctions coming to a close - couple still without a bid. All of today’s offerings are 19th century classics, most of them used. You’ll find Scott 7, 10A, 15, 68, 36, 36B, 69, 71, 73, 63, 26, 24 - just to name a few. We also have five unused stamps: Scott 182, 183 (never hinged), 206, 207, and 224 (never hinged).
And don’t forget we also have in our non-auction category Scott 89 mint hinged (SCV: $5,250) and Scott 145 mint hinged (SCV: $675). Both have expertization certificates. We’re open to any reasonable offer…
Have fun on the bidding and good luck!
