Our September Sale #348 is packed with interesting and better material. The highlight has to be the full sheet of U.S. J92 dull gum. The 4¢ dull gum was only recently listed in Scott after discovery of some plate blocks in 2016. This sheet was found in a consignment among a group of random U.S. as part of a future auction lot. The owner had no idea what it was.
This auction is somewhat smaller in number of lots but larger in value. The U.S. singles section is largely one man’s lifetime collection.
The auction closes with a fabulous dealer stock lot that is filled with great individual items from beginning to end!
