A Good Score At The Local Flea Market...

From the Scott catalog:

Sorry to have taken your thread off topic.

No, it's okay. I remember those White Russian stamps; at least one stamp company was using them as part of an approval offer in the late 60s.

Anyway, I got the rough sort done of the pack of 5000; a lot of eastern bloc countries are very well represented, such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary and Russia; in the case of Poland, there are a lot of earlier issues. I would estimate that the value is far in excess of what I paid for the entire box, not to mention in excess of the marked price on the package. It's very much like a time capsule; mixtures of this quality are never seen these days.
