149	General - World		Collector's world-wide accumulation, collected over the course of some forty + years. An extraordinary 'massive' collection that completely filled a large 4 x 4 when we were asked to uplift for sale by auction and offer intact as one lot. A world-wide holding, comprises collections, new issues, albums, stockbooks, covers, even mixtures including kiloware. Doubtless consuming most of the collector's 'stamp-den space', it seems that, as so often, the joy was to be had in the acquisition rather than the sorting out. With so much material weighing 100 kgs+ we're talking literally tens of thousands of stamps / items accumulated by purchase from stamp fairs, stamp shops, collectors, mail-order dealers and smaller stamp auctions. Not being 'big' on sorting out, there's literally months of enjoyment sorting, sifting, cataloguing and arranging . If you are interested by literally months of philatelic 'work', rather than write an essay, Andrew has offered to give you a verbal description over the telephone whilst surrounded by the mountain of material, bags, 15+ boxes, which may take some thirty +/- minutes on the telephone, but will adroitly answer any queries (or your spouse's concerns!). Obviously shipping is extra, and this is the only lot in the auction upon which we cannot offer a return refund guarantee, because obviously shipping may come to hundreds of pounds (unless the buyer collects), so we want you to be confident that this enormous philatelic 'hoard' is right for you.

To put the rarity of this stamp into perspective, the 10c on 30c with Chinese characters similarly with double surcharge has been recorded incl. within a complete mint pane, and a handful of singles (currently priced at £12,000 by SG). ONLY one row in a single pane became doubly printed, and the row comprised a setting of six subjects (incl. the above variety showing 'EN' broken); Moving on to the same stamp issue without Chinese characters which this is, ONLY ONE OTHER EXAMPLE IS KNOWN and unpriced by SG, and to find one with this combination of broken letters is almost certainly unique.

Now, we do not have any catalogues for these seldom offered issues and are not able to determine what is common and what is rare, in fact we may as well be looking at next years holiday brochures ! BUT the nature of the collection (the companion to the amazing Spain section offered in this sale) suggests that it has high powered material collected over many decades. We note many are expert signed, and includes errors, varieties and so on. Further details and scans available upon request. (Approx 1330 stamps).

19325	General - World		General - World - Predominantly GB. Under the instruction of the executor we offer the collection, property of a late collector intact as received. Comprising some 40 volumes, a predominantly British mint / used collection spanning the period QV through mid-period QEII to circa 2003/2004 - the substantial collection, the vast majority being housed within those previously popular Errimar Series Amherst 'midi' sized springback loose-leaf albums with quadrille leaves. Amongst the copious quantity of GB, particular highlights noted include useful mint seahorses (more follows). QV from 1d black just 4 margin plate 3 FU, (no 1840 2d blue), 1d red plates used range to pl 154, pretty used surface printed, nothing outstanding, however occasionally a fine mint value interspersed e.g. 2d. pale rose SG168 fine mint (SG£350), most of these ranges being ‘representative’ with absence of high values, we note a particularly delightful mint o.g. 1883 9d dull green ex the lilac and greens set catalogued £1,250= (SG195), few weak ‘officials’, but as we move into Edward VII note increasing frequency of mint, often hinged – sometimes heavily, but odd UM interspersed, also used, no high values. KGV in similar vein (no PUC £1), but useful representative mint seahorses incl hinged Bradbury Wilkinson 2s.6d x 3 shades, 5s., and nice mint 10s. slightly heavily hinged, similar mint 1934 re-engraved seahorses – possibly UM but creamy brownish gum. Regionals – apparently a volume for each, most encased in those difficult to check ‘split back’ type mounts – but each random checked - apparently UM NH. Noted Northern Ireland Type II 17p N143a (SG£175), decimal multiples cylinder blocks of 4 (good ‘face’). Wildings – Excellent fairly comprehensive ranges / sets, watermarks – INV / Sideways, surprisingly no 605a, but good Castles with Waterlow UM, 1st DLR UM, 2nd DLR UM, - these alone retail £100’s. Pre decimal machin ranges, followed by substantial mint GB decimal 'postage' machins / commems to early 2000’s, some multiples, low emphasis of (no value) GB FDC's – few better earlier 60’s commems FDC’s, 1980's / 90's, and oddments of Malaysia / Singapore incl a few mint 1948 Weddings (not HK), insignificant British Europe, Unverified BERLIN ovpts heavily hinged – all part of the collection. A well-known philatelic company offered to purchase the entire collection as seen for the sum of GBP£2,600 so that upon close examination it is obvious that the collection has a resale value in excess of £5,000, and was previously insured for £22,000 although it is uncertain upon what basis the collection was insured - possibly catalogue value which may bear lower relationship to real value. If you feel that the collection may be suited to yourself, please contact UPA head office and ask for describer 'call-back' in order to ascertain highlights, emphasis and suitability to your requirements. Overall condition is good. A heavy lot, shipping to UK buyers may be in several heavy boxes at just a nominal extra £14.50 to pay, overseas shipping costs will be more substantial - OVERSEAS BIDDERS PLEASE ENQUIRE FOR SHIPPING COSTS	£4000

Rarely, if ever do we encounter this, the scarcest of commemorative inverted watermarks in this condition. Most UM NH examples are encountered with minor blemish and still sell for £2,000+, so that were this example graded upon the American system (which is a service only offered for USA stamps) it would rate 'gem' status a full 100/100 - although we're given to understand that 98/100 is regarded as 'perfection'. If you seek the rarest of the rare, look no further - for you have found it. The most difficult part for the specialist being to locate a matching 'gem' status in the deeper shade. This being the best of the best handled within 50 years, how long may one have to look to find the corresponding Gibbons 'shade 2'? Good reason therefore to acquire this shade 1. for you will never find better. Note, we have matched with shade 2. normal (upright wmk) accompanying for comparison. Cat £3750	£3000
