Good afternoon folks! The rains are back - yesterday we had a pleasant sunny day here and overnight someone flipped the switch. Today we’ve got howling winds with rain squalls passing through every hour or so - I guess winter is really here.
Well, this eveing we have 25 auctions coming to a close. Of the 25, 21 of them are stamps or stamp-related items. The other four are N-scale model railroad cars: two tank cars and two box cars. All four are in pristine, like new condition.
Those 21 stamp auctions are a mix of back of the book items that include the complete set of used Parcel Post stamps (Q1 - Q12), complete set of used Parcel Post Postage Due stamps (JQ1 - JQ5), a complete mint lightly hinged set of the Special Handling stamps (QE1 - QE4). We also have a mortgage deed document from 1866 with a pair of Scott R78c revenue stamps. The stamp pair alone has a catalog value of $140. The other offerings include nice quality Revenue singles and partial sets. There are also a handful of the Newspaper and Periodical stamps up for bid.
Good luck with your bidding and have fun!
