QR Code Link to This Post
If anyone is looking for a large collection of United Nations stamps that is in really, really good condition then this is the one for you. This collection was started by my Grandfather but was mostly put together by my father who recently passed away. He told me that UN stamps are not worth what they used to be but would love to have this family collection transferred to someone that would appreciate it.
The collection includes lots of older stamps and most commemoratives for the years listed but it also contains definitive(s), envelopes, Air Post Issue stamps, Air Post Envelopes and postal cards. Plus, there are lots of souvenir sheets and souvenir cards when totaled is about 1,872 items!! So quite the collection!!
The condition of each may not be 100% right since I'm not a stamp collector so there might be some mistakes. I also did not remove most of them since I thought it would be better if I left them in the mounts instead of handling them so assuming that they are all MNH.
I apologize for the pics since I'm not a good picture taker using my older phone. Please send me a message if you'd like to see something missing in the pics or if you'd like a close up of one of the higher value ones front or back. I hate to remove any stamps especially the expensive ones since I'm afraid of damaging them.
Please see the attached listing for each Volume/Album #. This collection has a CV value of $3,114 using H.E. Harris 2021 catalogue.
Volume #1 from 1951 to 1986 (White Ace pages 1-181) has a CV of $1,815.
Volume #2 from 1987 to 1998 (White Ace pages 182-392) has a CV of $1298.
Volume #3 from 1999 to 2009 (White Ace pages 393-620) has a CV of $0 since no stamps are mounted in this album.
I checked with Allen's on the internet for White Ace Album prices and here's what I found:

Volume 2, Pages 182-392 from 1987-1998 cost $146.85.

This is a super nice collection that has been taken care of for decades and has also been insured for $4,000 in the past.
If you are trying to replace a large collection due to flooding, fire and any other disaster then this would be the perfect item for replacement reasons.
I'm open to best offers but they need to be reasonable. The transfer of goods will take place at a public gathering like a library, restaurant or similar type of place. Cash only!!!
