Lot 1528 Portugal Mainly Mint Collection in Twelve Albums, 1895-2002, a large mint collection that appears to be never hinged from 1952 on. The collection starts in 1895 with mainly used stamps while many spaces are left open to about 1930. Still the second and third Independence issues are present in MH condition and so are many other stamps. However, from 1934 on to the end only a very few stamps or souvenir sheets are missing and the collection is close to complete. Almost all of the early and desirable souvenir sheets are present: both regional costumes issues are MNH while the Postrider, Lisbon Castle, Bank of Portugal and Kings are MH. In later issues many sheetlets, booklets and issues for the islands are present. Our estimate is only a fraction of the face value of just the recent issues. Estimate $1,200, sold for C$1,600.00 plus 17% buyer’s premium.
