CON DIT ION ext rem ely fin e - outsta nding , the highest qua lity poss ible.

very fine - choice condition, well centered; if imperforate with four well clear margins. fine - sound in all respects, perforations clear design: if imperforate, margins may be close or touching, but will 1101 cut design. very good - stamps arc so graded either by reason of general appearance of imperfect centering or a fault.

Faults such as a thin spot, tear, crease, etc. will be described on individual lots at all times. In larger lots, degrees of condition denote the average, and copies above and below such condition can be expected. Minor separations on blocks or sheets are the rule rather than the exception and are not grounds for the rerurn of a lot. The 1cm, "mini" denotes that the i1em has original gum, but does 1101 imply 1ha1 it is never hinged. The term "unused" is used to describe an uncancelled item that is without gum.

Regarding covers. the following are not justificat ion for the rctum ofa lot: tom or partially removed back flaps, lighi file folds which do not detract from the overall appearance and small edgetears which do 1101 affect adhesive or markings.

The abo\'e incremem s are s imply prorid ed as a guid e Jo,· bidding unifromity. The auctioneer retains the dglu to chang e the i11creme111 s at his disc retion when bidding activity is parti cularly strong to exp edit e the sale. or he may break the i11 c reme111sto accomooda te an agem '.v bid.

I. Lots of not more than 10 items.

2. To U.S. clients only, a1our discretion.

Shaded ponion can represent an actual hinge or the area disturbed by a hinge.

Original gum - unused with original gum somewhat disturbed by previous hinging which may still be present.

Part original gum - unused with original gum. large hinge remnants may or may not be present.

Disturbed original gum - unused with original gum, affected by sweating, glazing or mount disn1rbance; may not resemble the original gum.

Unused without gum (unless gum is mentioned) Unused without gum, as issued.

BLOCKS OR SHEETS AND THEIR GUM: Minor separations are the mle, rather than the exception, in the case of blocks or sheets of any size. A few separations- around four perfs per row-----do not affect the value of a block or sheet and are not grounds for the rerum of a lot.

EST IMATE D VALUES: lfa n estimated cash value is given, it is shown in the description. It is used where the lot is large or where the actual value has little relation to the catalogue price. It represents the auctioneer 's appraisal of the true MARKET value of a l01 and the figure is invariably close to the actua l realization. It is useless for mail bidders to list any bids that are only a low proportion of such estimates.
