R1a/RVB2

#R1/RVB2, Extensive revenue collection, over 700 different mint or used on Scott pages, quite diverse in the types of issues present but starts with a nice selection of the First Issue with a nice selection of over 50 imperforates (a few with tight margins not counted), the perforated issues are quite comprehensive with values to the $200.00, Second Issue is complete to the $20.00 less the $1.30 and $1.90, and Third Issue is complete, there is a good selection of the later Documentaries with better values but no dated Red issues, also includes Proprietary stamps and a nice selection of 180 different Wine stamps with better values, there are also some miscellaneous issues including Playing Card stamps with a fairly comprehensive group of the private die issues, in general this is a quality collection with very few seriously off-quality stamps that are found in many revenue collections, the collector was quite knowledgeable and was buying good material many years ago, notes are found indicating that some stamps came from the Lilly collection, a large portion are fine-very fine; a valuable collection with total catalog value over $20,000.00.
