Jan 19 Box Lot - More stockbooks

Next we looked at a small stockbook.  All that was needed was to move the old Japan onto a stockpage (probably $6), and the old Korea onto a stockpage (probably $6), take the rest out for a general mixture, and the stock book might get $2.

Then there was a cluttered stockbook of manila pages, with lots of old but common USA stamps.  For these, we always look for precancels, perfins, and any unlisted oddities.  There were a bunch, including some narcotics stamps, some Washington State revenues, a label for a 1934 Potlach, and some other odd items.  Also a tiny corner of one page that had a spread of the very earliest USA Christmas seals -- an instant lot to sell.  Easily $20 of revenues and labels, and half a page each of the perfins & precancels ($4 each) and $10 for the Christmas seals.  And the stockbooks still looks full.  Maybe $5 for that, or break it down more.

The stockbook of DDR was just packed thick with on-paper commemoratives, 1960s-1970s.  For these, we just pulled them all, and since they mostly looked postally used (not so common), I set aside a page or two of good postmarks, probably $6 for those.  The rest went into two thick baggies that would go into our big box of mixtures for $6 per bag.  

The souvenir sheets were #288a, 226a, 237a and 634 all mint never hinged, total CV $80.  Plus two stock pages of CTO blocks including some complete sets, probably a $4 lot for those.  And about ten CTO souvenir sheets, maybe a $3 odd-and-ends lot.

Some regular Germany and other scraps are still there.

Clearly, we have already processed a good percentage of this box lot, and will have well over $100 in new inventory when done.
