Do you ever have that "gut feeling" about a lot and so bid a little more than normal? This lot definitely falls into that realm. I purchased these stamps for $56.72 thinking I probably had at least that much in face value. I've been grinning ear-to-ear for the last 2 hours as I sorted through an enormous pile of mint Canada stamps.
Auction:
http://www.kmphilately.com/index.php?a=2&b=9374381I have included some of the highlights in photos.
There were 42 unused Canada 85-86 (1898 "x-mas" stamp) ranging from no-gum to Mint Never Hinged. The 15 stamps on the left are all Never Hinged stamps. Cat value $2000+
This next photo is of misc mint and mint never hinged stamps from all over the classic era. Highlights include 2x #92 (Mint Hinged) one is a VF plate # single ($300); a strip of 4, 1c coils (#160 Fine MNH) value ~$100+; a gorgeous 226 (XF Mint Never Hinged) with selvage cat $67.50; and various KGV "Admirals" including coils. There's more than $1000 cat value on this page alone.
Misc mint blocks, plate blocks, and items of interest.
About half of the items I received are not pictured. Overall, I'm quite pleased
