Shreves Philatelic Galleries, Inc. Sale - 76
The Gary Gilbert Collection - February 17, 2006
The Gary Gilbert Collection is an exceptional collection of certified and
graded mint United States postage stamps - totaling 400 lots.
Mr. Gilbert, early on in his collecting, saw that certified United States
stamps were becoming extremely popular, as the presence of an independent
certificate of authenticity and condition afforded buyers - whether a
novice or a seasoned collector - a certain "peace of mind", especially when
buying stamps that were purported to be in premium condition. Mr. Gilbert
also was among the first collectors to embrace the new "graded" certificate
phenomenon, seeking out as many different stamps that he could find that
would "grade out" with high numbers, such as 85, 90, 95, 98 and 100. His
collection is one of the few auctions that Shreves has ever offered where
every single stamp offered is accompanied by a certificate - and many have
two or three.
