I can't imagine what the reserve price is. Probably something as far out as the collection itself |

If the reserve is based on man hours it's going to be very expensive. Even at minimum wage... |

Just today I saw a #65 collection, perhaps 1,000 used stamps. But that was really a cancel collection so it makes philatelic sense. This does not. This is more like an addiction then a collection for pleasure. |

It is highly unlikely that these are hinged with quality vintage hinges and instead is hinged with 'must be soaked' modern hinges. I guess a person could search for any interesting varieties, soak just those pages, and disposition* the rest.

*The term 'disposition' left intentionally vague. |

Since the binder doesn't look like it's worth $89, this is becoming more of a riddle to me. Who would put this "collection" together, and who are the people trying to outbid each other? |

I would have bid up to $30 or so including shipping just to look through it in person and see the varieties.
As someone noted earlier, this is part 8 so maybe I will have 7 more chances. |

Wonder what the shipping will be to Norway. Per the global shipping program, the quote is about $31.00. What would the cheapest shipping be approx.? |

It's amazing, or maybe crazy, to think there is more than 1 collector for every one of those stamps! |

Maybe the original owner built this collection for that most ambitious of undertakings: plating!
Yeah, we all think that plating has become nigh impossible, but surely there can be one cockeyed optimist left?
