Some Stamp Panes I Recently Received.

Here is just a small sampling of the enormous box of stamp panes from the 20's to the 60's. They're obviously too big for my scanner so I just gingerly centered them on my scanner bed to give an illustration of what I am currently sorting and figuring out what to do with them all! lol The nice thing is that there are lots of doubles but of different plate numbers so variety hunting will be a blast too!
I noticed I have almost all the Famous Americans and the overrun countries too! I have lots of doubles too but all different plate numbers so that's a plates.

Wow, they're pretty when they're in a herd like that

I really like the Flags of Overrun Nations Series, but not as much as I like Air Mails -- beautiful colors on yours.

There's another thread here about "What Stamp Got You Started Collecting" -- my answer is the 3¢ Iwo Jima!

It's as if this post was just to make me smile this morning.

Thanks,
Kirk

Do you save sheets or will you break these up?
Tom

I don't save sheets but I was given at least 70 different ones. Some have flaws, folds, creases and separations though and those I may but I have yet to get though them all. Just so many it's almost overwhelming!

Possibly some of the sheets will contain varieties, errors, etc. Worth a look.

From the photo it appears that your sheet of 1974 self-adhesive Christmas stamps have held up quite well considering all the horror stories I have heard regarding their eventual discoloration. Congratulations!

I saw these on the other site, Jeff. I didn't realize you had so many of them. That's an instant collection! You may not collect them but with that many it may be worth your while to find some way of putting them in an album of some kind to protect and display them. I'm just not sure what you would use.
Again, pretty cool.

They are in folders and inside an old khaki hammer-tone bank box. There are several of each and of different plate numbers. 70 was a gross un-estimation more like 200.

Just a few more. there over 70 folders with at least 5 in each one and 2 stamp sheet album books stuffed to over flowing...there are way more than I had originally thought... I don't have the patience at this point to look up every scott number but I think these speaks for them selves.

1 cent green famous American



Roosevelt



5 cent Navy



2 cent red presidents



3 cent Win the War



5 cent light blue pain in the butt


3 cent Columbus

It might surprise people to learn that the Win The War is one of the best panes here, along with the 5 cent Navy. However none are at all scarce, there are many hundreds (if not thousands) of all of these panes. The Virginia Dare, Swedes-Finns and the airmail have to be treated carefully, for some reason they tend to be fragile.

None are particularly rare but they was all free. So, for me anyway- Win-Win + postage! ;)

Free is always good, but you might want to look at the values in Brookman before you start thinking postage. You can probably sell them at auction for rather more than you might think.

A nice find for you. The low value stamps will take a lot of stamps.

Th Brookman catalog! Brilliant! Revcollector, you rock! (But you knew that)

As you probably know, the perfins read PRR (Pennsylvania Railroad).
