The Gross Collection of Important Confederate States Postal History will be appropriately honored and preserved in a special hardbound all-color auction catalog. It has been similarly designed much like his now famous previous catalogs such as of his magnificent Great Britain collection in 2007, his Scandinavia collection in May of 2008 and his British Empire from October 2008. These and any future Gross Collection sales catalogs will certainly form an incomparable “set” for any philatelic library.
