Great collections are more than just an assemblage of stamps. They are created with a purpose, an underlying goal, and in the best of collections this purpose is to explore all the varieties and rarities that can be obtained. By this standard one of the finest collections ever assembled is the United States collection created by the late Jerome Wagshall. This wonderful collection is being sold in three parts by Siegel Auction Galleries and has been beautifully cataloged by Scott Trepel. The first two sections are online now at their website ( http://www.siegelauctions.com/ )and it reads like a master class in fine US philately. Whether you are a US collector or not this is an unusual opportunity to see one of the finest stamp collections in existence. Jerry had not just the expensive but the rare.
