800+ different stamps with an additional 100 (which will be explained). The album is in good used condition. The’looseness’ in the spine is because it is a 2-post loose leaf style. Space limitations kept me from posting the one more page I have showing the front cover and interior first page showing the posts. Message me if you want to see this. They are listed individually below. I do not have a current Scott Catalogue for valuation so I used Mystic Stamp Company’s website. For used stamps, I took the lowest price, and for MNH stamps, I took the’Unused with small fault’ price instead of their’Mint’ price. Not counting those in the sizable Back of the Book grouping, there are no stamps after the 1890s UNTIL the 1925 Norse American issue. Starting there, there is a good selection from the rest of the 1920s. A great selection of the 1930s, a majority of what aren’t here are the 1938 Presidents issue and coils. The 1940s appear to be almost complete. I counted 400+ different stamps from the 1920s – 1960, which includes 4 different souvenir sheets. After 1960, there are no photo spaces with the Scott numbers. I estimate the run is about 80% complete. The range is from Scott #1173 to Scott #1422 (250 issues). I count 194 different stamps (199 total with the Christmas precancel variations) from 1961 – 1970. I count the blocks or panels as single stamps where they are made up of all-different stamps. About the 100 stamps – it is the 1931 Red Cross issue, Scott #702. It appears this collector had a special liking for this one. Perhaps it had to do with the’shifting cross’ this issue was known for. At first I thought the collector had unwisely broken up a full sheet of 100, but that is clearly not the case. There are 12 singles and 22 blocks of 4, with one of those having a plate number. As you can see on the 4 pages of these stamps, there is some pretty good shifting going on. Everything in this above group of 600-plus singles and 22 blocks are mounted and believed to all be MNH – though I only verified a few at random. Stamps are in clear mounts which are adhered to the pages. I took a random sampling and saw no hinges or evidence of hinges. The mounts had to be removed so I could take. That random sampling (so there will be some loose mounted stamps) and I saw no hinges or evidence of hinges. Everything is pictured on 70 album pages. Next I will list the early stamps and BOB groups individually. All are used except where noted. The early stamps appear on 9 album pages.
