GREAT BRITAIN – PREMIUM 1840s TO 1990s CLASSICS/MODERN/OFFICES ABROAD IN PAIR OF SCOTT ALBUMS! – This is a very impressive collection celebrating the cradle of philately that spans from the Penny Black to modern Royal Mail issues from the 1990s presented in a pair of pristine Scott specialty albums! All the stamps, mint and used, are neatly housed in hingeless mounts! This two volumes collection is very well balanced as the quality is maintained all throughout, where 19^th century standouts from the regular section are mirrored by an exceptionally strong back-of-the-book section with virtually complete run through Offices Abroad! The collection includes some exceptionally nice examples of 19^th century gems like 1sh Pale Green from 1847, and so many others with just some of the most notable early period standouts like mint #58, 130, 133, 134, used #1, 5, 8-10, 11, 12, 14, 16-17, 18, 21, 26, 27-28, 32, 34, 37-42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 59-60, 61, 62, 64, 65, 66, 67-68, 69, 70, 71, 73, 78-87, 94-95, 96, 98-107, 108-109, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, and more! Once the collection rolls into the 20^th century territory, it quickly turns into virtually all mint century long run! Furthermore, the collector didn’t just fill the spots, as a large proportion of stamps boast nice wide even margins and very fresh colors; the quality is top notch! The back-of-the-book portion is just as strong and complements the main section very nicely with such highlights like mint #J18-J25, J34-J38, J39-J44, J45-J54, J55-J67, used #O12, O17, O21, O27, O31-O36, O38, O40, O41, O42, O44-O45, O50, as well as highly complete virtually all mint Offices Abroad! Very nice and well-rounded collection! Gen. VERY FINE, mint og, many NH
