Getting There

Bob Woodbury

I am now down to 70 unowned US stamps. What I find interesting is that there are essentially three equal piles left.

23 are pure unobtainium. 613, 314A, etc. none of these even have a price in my world.

24 are priced over $1,000 each. Not impossible. But out of my league.

23 are under $1,000. That makes them relatively “affordable”. About one per month. But it will be a fun search.

I have to say that best part about owning Scott #1 and #2 is not having to search for them again.

Interesting Bob. Is there a particular condition of your collection, or is it mixed?
Are you interested in sharing your 23 you're on the hunt for?
Cheers!

Good post Scott, I was wondering also.

Bob Woodbury

With the exception of the first page (Scott 1-34) they are all mint. Generally well centered and lightly hinged.

The first page was blank forever. Then I decided it could be done used.

My 23. Slightly reduced already.

534B. 477. 277. 262.
90. 89. 86. 75. 72. 70. 64. 39.

34. 31. 27. 23. 18. 13. 12.

Another question Bob, do you do the minors? Like 1a, 1c, etc, or just the major numbers?
I just completed by #1's a couple months ago. Took forever to get a 1c but finally managed to dig one up.
Our logo is actually my Scott #3. Have always loved that stamp.

I have a couple certed 39's, both OG and used if you're interested.
A pretty nice 70 that is no gum but unused (great centering on this one, which is really tough on the 24c Washington).
Nice, you are really close.

The 12... that's a pricey one to get unused.

Bob Woodbury

Scott. 34-1 are all used in my world. No minors.

Interested in the 39 and the 70. Unused. And yes I have seen some pretty rough 70s.
