YOU ARE BIDDING ON THE ENTIRE SET AS PICTURED IN ONE LOT. I KNOW VIRTUALLY NOTHING ABOUT POSTAGE STAMPS SO YOU MUST RELY ON YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE. I WILL ONLY PASS ON WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD, BUT THE BURDEN IS ON YOU TO BE SURE THAT THESE STAMPS ARE CORRECT FOR TYPE OF SPECIMEN STAMP. YOU ARE BIDDING ON THE ENTIRE GROUP OF PAGES STAMPS AS SHOWN AND THEY ARE ALL GENUINE ACCORDING TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SEEN THEM. I PAID FOR THE MAXIMIZE PICTURE ON THIS AUCTION SO YOU SHOULD GET SOME GOOD CLOSE UPS TO HELP YOU GET GOOD VISUALS. THIS WAS PART OF MY GRANDFATHERS RETIREMENT COLLECTION. HE WAS A SHARP FELLOW AND  HAD HIS DOUBTS ABOUT PENSIONS BEING ABLE TO BE PAID OUT SO AS A STAMP COLLECTOR HE SET UP A SECONDARY RETIREMENT WITH HIS STAMP COLLECTION. HE SAID THAT FOR THE MOST PART THESE ARE MUSEUM QUALITY PIECES AND WOULD FIT IN ANY OF THE FINEST COLLECTIONS IN THE WORLD. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY STAMP SHOWS AND AUCTIONS THAT HE ATTENDED IN HIS LIFETIME, BUT IT WAS A CONSIDERABLE NUMBER. HE WAS FUSSY AND EXPERIENCED AND ONLY PICKED THE FINEST HE COULD FIND. I HAVE BEEN TOLD MUCH MORE RECENTLY FROM OTHERS THAT IT WOULD BE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO ASSEMBLE THIS SAME COLLECTION TODAY, IN THE SAME IMPECCABLE CONDITION AND PROHIBITIVLY EXPENSIVE. MOST OF HIS COLLECTION HAS BEEN PASSED TO ME AS HE HAD 3 GRANDKIDS, BUT I WAS THE ONE MOST INTERESTED IN THE STAMP HISTORY AND I AM RELUCTANT TO SELL ANY OF IT, BUT I HAVE BEEN LAID OFF OF WORK FOR NEARLY A YEAR NOW SO THIS INHERITANCE IS SET TO HELP ME AS HE HOPED IT WOULD SINCE THE PENSION FUND DID WORK THROUGH HIS LIFE AND HE DID NOT NEED TO USE HIS BACK UP PLAN SO HE KEPT HIS COLLECTION IN TACT AND PASSED IT DOWN TO HIS THREE GRANDCHILDREN. PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE. THE CV ON THIS GROUP IS HUGE AND PROBABLY TOPS OUT OVER $30,000.00 THE OPENING BID IS  LESS THAN TEN PER CENT OF THE 2007 CV OR $899.00 WITH NO RESERVE SO THERE IS AN AMAZING DEAL AWAITING SOMEONE OR MAYBE A SOLID AUCTION THAT WILL HELP MY FAMILY WITH THE DWINDLING FINANCES.   PLEASE USE SHIPPING CALCULATOR FOR EXACT SHIPPING COST.  SHIPPING INSURANCE IS OPTIONAL, BUT RECOMMENDED,IT IS AT THE BUYERS RISK IF NOT PURCHASED.  I PREFER PAYPAL. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME TO LOOK AND BEST OF LUCK AT THE AUCTION!!   Place a Bid!
