Back of the book contains a page of mint Nebraska and Kansas overprints (#658-679), another page of used, and ends with mint and used air mail and special delivery. There are just too many expensive stamps here to list individually, and so we highly recommend careful viewing, despite our many online scans (which only show a portion of the lot). Even though there is an appearance of duplication, these are usually present because of various different attributes. Many usually small faults can be found on some of the early material, still a great collection with tremendous catalogue value and ideal for the advanced collector or online reseller. Estimate $3,500, sold for C$26,000.00 plus 17% buyer’s premium.
