We are honored to be disposing of the estate from a truly exceptional philatelist and proudly a prior client of ours. This collector was very well known in the high-end auction, private treaty and dealer community. He specialized in united states issues and had a discerning eye for quality, along with the financial means to acquire whatever he set his sights on. We have come to realize that one of his true passions were all forms of united states revenue stamps. The provenance of his collection traces back to pre world war ii with a significant part of his collection originating from major auction sales and private treaty transactions.In 25+ years of selling united states stamps, this is the strongest revenue collection that we have handled in terms or both quality and depth that we have seen. To give you an indication of how vast this collection is, from an internal planning perspective, we estimate that it will take us 8,000 to 11,000 man-hours to properly scan & describe every stamp in this exceptional collection. We have posted an ultra high-definition (1200 x 1200) scan of the front and back of the actual stamp.
