Lot 21331 - General - British Commonwealth - Universal Philatelic Auctions Sale #72SIGNIFICANT British Empire/Commonwealth collection with focus upon New Zealand and territories, plus additional areas Great Britain and Islands, and general British Commonwealth offered intact as received, the product of one collector’s work and over more than 30 years collecting, this is a very substantial collection housed in some 21 boxes including (counted as boxes) a few equivalent sized large carrier bags, also noted collector’s equipment/ paraphernalia/ NZ Campbell Paterson catalogue included. Noted valuable early material (more about this follows), unusually the collection continues right through from early through to relatively recent with expensive New Issues through to 2012 and in some cases through to 2016. We note very substantial value in mint (unmounted) new issues plus FDCs to 2016 in places. Running a few of the collector stated to catalogue (STC) Stanley Gibbons catalogue values we note: New Zealand and Territories STC £63,600, Great Britain and Islands STC c.£19,000, additional material catalogued by SG Stamps of the World (SOTW) including almost exclusively British Commonwealth STC £13,000 includes Faroes at £375 – though for the purposes of auction valuation little real value has been attached to this final part of the collection. In general, the main SG catalogue value of the collection extends to c.£82,500. Addressing the more valuable / classic material we note strength in early NZ (but NOT chalons), with a high degree of completion from circa 1898 in mint onwards to 2012, the majority as per KA-BE hingless album leaves, not according to SG or Campbell Paterson (as we all know collecting NZ for the early periods (and even more modern) can extend into challenging degrees of specialisation, however to more normal collecting interest NZ must be approaching a high degree of completion if one excludes rarities. Supporting this we note most of the better sets with Christchurch, Auckland, defins etc, with ranges of ‘officials’ plus the ever important Postal Fiscals with real value here, all mint including representative (printings unchecked) £2 10 shillings probably unmounted, £3 10 shillings (light bend), £3, £4, £5 – ovpts present excluding 35/- on 35/-, also note a good used (variable perfs) £10 ovpt on £10 postal fiscal unlisted by SG (used). Additionally noted is a very strong section of the NZ defins ERRORS – with missing colours, shifts, albino ovpts, offsets, PE25b (Z) Foil-stamped overprint design error issued and recalled (one sheet known) supplied by Campbell Paterson for $1,200 NDZ. This NZ defin ERRORS section alone appears to have cost the collector in excess of $12,000 NDZ – a considerable sum and all apparently perfect unmounted mint and identified in a stockbook. As may be deduced the describer could continue extolling the virtues of this conservatively estimated collection. Please note that whilst we cannot guarantee vendor supplied catalogue values, we have no reason to doubt them. This collection only may be viewed by appointment at our offices, scans of significant areas can be supplied, verbal condition reports naturally. For a collector wishing to continue this represents an unparalleled opportunity, not to mention the high face value cost residing in areas that have barely been touched upon, or the expensive printed albums that a good proportion of the collection is contained therein.
