Huge collection from all over the world!

Selling my entire postage stamp collection with a heavy heart.  I'm emigrating and unfortunately I had to make the tough decision to cut down on my hobbies.

This lot contains literally millions of stamps.  There are albums, first day covers, used, unused, hinged, unhinged, cancel to order, mint condition, on- and off paper stamps.  All sorts from all over with condition ranging from excellent to poor, but mostly in the good to excellent range.  I've taken every precaution to prevent damage by pests and rot.

The biggest portion comes from deceased estates and about 95% of what's pictured here has not been sorted through by myself.  I've noticed many high value stamps in passing, but I haven't removed them.

^ 8 boxes kept safe in a cupboard.

^ Some albums and loose stamps.  Seems like there might be envelopes at the bottom.

^ A few albums and a whole bunch of mint and cancel to order stamps.  The albums are older and might be a bit weathered, but the stamps in them are still well preserved.

^ A few albums and a bunch of stamps!

^ More albums, more stamps, more envelopes!

^ More albums!  Seems like there are loose albums pages with stamps at the bottom.

^ This one is full of envelopes and first day covers.

^ More envelopes and first day covers!

^ Odds and ends that will be packaged together.  This box is not in the first picture that shows seven boxes stacked together.  I haven't dug all the way to the bottom of the stamps in the box, but it's mostly used stamps off paper with a couple of mint condition stamps floating in between.

SHIPPING:

Post Office:  R1200, but I will send it for free via Post Office if the closing bid reaches R12000 or more.

Courier:  R2800, but I'm willing to courier it for free if the closing bid reaches R13600 or more.

Collections, free of charge, in Bloemfontein are also welcome.  If you wish to make alternative arrangements with regards to shipping, please discuss it after the auction closed.

Note:  Don't expect the boxes exactly as pictured.  Some boxes can't close or are too flimsy, so I'm going to repackage some of it.
