STAMP KING was the name of his store . It was always packed with boxes and stuff crowding the place and lots of visitors stopping in .
Once he had a 60 draw metal file cabinet that held maybe 50,000 glassine envelopes . This file cabinet stood as tall as me . He wanted to get it out of the shop . It was huge and heavy .Since I was one of the few buyers he knew that drove a pickup truck ,his interest was to get rid of it and it was just a matter of agreeing on price . I think we agreed half way between his asking price and my offer .
It took me 6 months and a ad in Linn's to get rid of all that material thru a foreign mixture box lot thru the ad in Linns ,but still kept a lot of stuff to fill another Scott International sold thru Rasdale's Stamp Auction . |

Those Russian stamps have some very nice colors to them. Some very attractive pages.
edit: very nice thread that you have going here. |

There is nothing, at least to me, as pleasing as pages full of definitive sets. |

Would love to see a closeup of some of the higher value stamps such as the Dardanelles 70 Piastres on 7 Ruble. |

Those are incredible examples. I have some of these series' but the condition of yours is beautiful. Russian stamps are quite gorgeous especially unused and in fully colour. Funny enough, I also find a lot of their cancellations to be quite nice as well, particularly the early ones. Well done, Floortrader. |

Thanks ----txstamp , stamps101 , and Shermae for the kind words .
I know that I show full pages but let me confirm that I got 30 or 40 times the amount of pages that are barely full or contain just one stamp on the page .I will start show some of those too. |
