COLLECTIONS Jan 2015 Issue 7 COMPENDIUM COLC07 We are now through our stocktake and started the new year with all the collections we could not touch while we were counting. So in the rush to get a list to you this month’s is a mini special edition, if it went to our normal 12 pages it may have taken another month to get out and my desk is already surrounded with boxes. As a sneak preview I have also included some collections which will be in the next cover lover, this is a text only list, but it gives you a chance to buy three weeks before anyone else, if you think they might be of interest give me a call and I can go through them with you. COL1140A £350 £70 per month over 5 month 1972 Daily Express Trophy Air Race, set of 40 covers including Prince William of Gloucester and John Noakes, very rare signed. We believe there was only ever 12 signed sets, and this is only the second time we have had one to offer. These more modern flown covers are harder to find than many people realise. £25 per month COL1932 £175 over 7 month Traditional 7 volume thematic stamp collection, lovingly written up, themes include Flags, Drugs, Lister, The Zoo, Argentina, English Monarchs and Cathedrals. We bought this with a larger FDC collection and must have taken years to write up and illustrate, many hours enjoyment during the 1960s. The problem is it does not fit in with what we do, so can you give it a good home, you will not be disappointed. COL1935 £250 33 sets of maxi-cards (1966 - 1973), most with connected postmarks and seem to be in good condition, a great PHQ card forerunner collection. We are rarely able to offer complete lots of these, this lot has been with the same collector since they were collected as new issues, not to be missed. COL1934 £75 £50 per month Collection of 8 handwritten covers (only one illustrated) postmarked with the Little Rissington RAF CDS includes the 1965 over 5 month Battle of Britain, would fit into a postmark collector’s or RAF collection very well. Buckingham Covers, Warren House, Shearway Road, Folkestone, Kent CT19 4BF Tel 01303 278137 Fax 01303 279429 Email [email protected] 1 COL1937 £175 RAF Squadron series in two albums, 30 standard and 80 pilot signed, so includes some variations. Great lot from a specialist RAF collector and one of those tricky series to find, you see the odd ones here and there, but not normally a collection with so many in. COL1941 £175 RAF Flown First Day covers, 40 different from 1981 - 1986, we think mostly officials and all in good condition. We are big fans of the RFDC series, they should all be £10 plus covers and would retail at £15 - £20 each if they were being issued today. COL1943 £150 COL1942 £60 Interesting more modern collection of 55 Hovercraft Collection of 80 Hovercraft picture postcards plus a few information booklets. covers from the late 1980s and early 90s, quite a few Most of the postcards have been used, a few carried and includes a few messages are signed by the pilots. The collections we normally see from people who have just travelled on board. Need sorting, we like the ones from are earlier, good lot. Pegwell Bay and Dover, local to us. £75 per month over 2 month Warren House, Shearway Road, Folkestone, Kent Ct19 4BF 2 Tel 01303 278137 Fax 01303 279429 Email [email protected] COLC07 COL1944 £395 1996 Benham Collection of 21 signed Olympic Gold Medal winners coin covers, A fantastic range of signatures :- Chris Boardman, Seb Coe, Matthew Pinsent, Steve Redgrave, Mary Peters, Terence Spinks, Greg Searle, Allan Wells, Daley Thompson, Malcolm Cooper, Tessa Sanderson, Steve Ovett, Ken Matthews, Richard Meade, Lynn Davies, Duncan Goodhew, Anita Lonsbrough, David Hemery, David Wilkie, Mary Rand and Chris Finnegan COL1946 £100 Sandringham mini royalty lot. A York Cottage morning envelope from 1910 with an Official Paid cachet, A 1916 Letter COL1948 £200 from the Royal Estate Office paying an account, with envelope and extra 1903 envelope, plus 1921 SS Normandie collection, made up of three covers and four postcards, we think all from Pheasant Delivery label to the Sadler in nearby the 1930s. You normally just see the same cover, so this is an interesting little lot. Snettisham, was this his Christmas gift? We are no experts in Pheasant labels, but we do like this. COL1947 £195 King George V GB stamp study, written up on 18 album pages, includes Wembley issues, 1929 PUC and 1935 Jubilee. Includes cylinder blocks, overprints and notes on various stamps. This is a little out of our field so priced to sell. www.buckinghamcovers.com 3 COL1950 £195 Collection of 175 RAF covers housed in five official COL1949 £200 Operation Overlord collection of six covers and albums. The covers are from various series, mainly unsigned. Individually they one postcard, all signed, plus printouts, includes Piper Millen, Arlette, would take years to find and would cost you between £600 - £700, plus the Major Howard and Jim Wallwork. It took nearly two years to get these albums must be worth at least £10 each even second hand. from the collector, good lot. COL1955 £150 Early 1980s Falklands collection, 25 covers of which 18 are signed, includes Sandy Woodward, Rex Hunt and Simon Weston. Lots of the covers are from the first part of the 1980s, which you don’t normally see covers. COL1968 £100 20 Football Programmes, with over 50 signatures on them, plus a few extra 01303 278137 signed pieces. Will take research and lots of time sorting but this is great EMAIL: [email protected] value, just one lot available. COL1969 £595 Royal Navy Cover Series, 1972 - 1990, 1st - 5th series, 115 standard and 120 signed. One of the most complete lots we have ever offered, housed in four official albums. We have taken no covers out of this so we think there are lots of great signatures to find, individually you would more than double this price Warren House, Shearway Road, Folkestone, Kent Ct19 4BF 4 Tel 01303 278137 Fax 01303 279429 Email [email protected] COLC07 COL340A £150 Early TCCB Collection, 100 Years of County Cricket, 18 full set official covers for the 1973 Cricket issue, no album but complete on the pages.
