I am breaking up another very nice Scott International Album collection into individual country offerings. This is a 50 volume set. Here is a great opportunity to obtain just the countries you desire.
Pages in general start with the earliest issues and continue to 2007. This collection is assembled from supplements printed in different years. While all are typical and similar in style there may be minor variations in print or style as would be expected in a collection like this.
I counted the pages once. Count could be off as I did not double check. But count will be close if not exact. When counting I watched the dates at the top of the facing page to see if they were generally in order as one might expect. I did not go over every single page other than flipping. From what I've observed pages are in order through the collection but that is not to say there could not be a page missing here or there. There may be additional pages not counted in the listed total but sent because they include stamps you may like to have. Their condition is not considered and is included as is.
The pages to 1940 are more heavily used. Then to the 1970’s still often used with the newest pages mostly lightly to unused generally speaking. Earlier pages are more likely to have pencil marks (mostly catalog numbers added). Stamp location boxes on pages to around mid 1970 do not have catalog numbers from the printer. Then from mid 1970’s to date usually will include catalog numbers. Catalog numbers are not assured.
Pages are in nice condition... NO rips, missing pieces, large crumpled creases or the like. Of course there could be shelf wear so to speak or minor creases as one might encounter in a used album. No significant issues unless noted. Holes are in good condition. I have seen none in need of repair at this time. I may repair some as required but have not seen the need thus far. Any holes repaired will not be considered a defect as these are used pages and may need a bit of attention with age. All pages are used, useful, seemingly complete, and just fine to start a collection. Again this was part of a 50 volume Scott International Album collection. Quite an investment for a collector to acquire so you can expect it had been well cared for. But do expect some wear from use and moving about. You will find these useful pages to continue using.
Many countries pages contain stamps that I will only lightly, if at all, touch upon. They are basically unchecked and along for the ride. I am selling pages at a fair price and the stamps are a bonus. I may make a guess at stamp count but usually not. Stamp count is a TOTAL GUESS. Use it as only a guide. You will find a few countries where I do see stamps of significantly more value and those pages will be higher priced. Watch for any loose stamps also included.
Not all pages are shown. I usually include the first page, a few middle and last of main stamps and maybe a BOB page. If you are inclined please look at the other pages from this same album collection (INT5) in my other eBay listings. It will give you an idea of the condition overall.
These should combine easily for shipping. I will do my best to save you money on shipping. Order away!

Generally, a disclaimer applied to all auctions.....
Stamps EXPECT faulty! Many nice stamps (unless noted above otherwise) but these are old albums and you should not expect all stamps to be fault free. I do not count stamps with a fault that I notice. Stamps are in mixed condition. I have viewed thousands of albums. Comments are made based on my experiences and may not be reflective of the albums you have viewed. I do not look at many stamps closely....again expect faults!
Some stamp estimates are roughly fast counted estimates other numbers are simply a guess. Consider any count numbers only a guide......a ROUGH ESTIMATE... a GUESS. Often I was doing two things at once so mistakes could have happened!
Albums and pages - Expect faults. I try to note. Some could be hidden (like loose pages). Some albums I sell are well over 100 years old. Some are like new. They vary! Some could be improved with library quality paper and fabric tapes. Page holes could be reinforced. These are not considered defects as these are used albums and pages. Both could include owner’s marks and notations on pages. Page completeness cannot be assured. I try to review but there is no way for me to be certain all pages are intact unless wrapped and new.
Common 3 ring binders – Condition is given little consideration as they are so common and easily replaced. Review photos for condition.
I have tried to note any exceptions.
Generally, postage can be combined. I try to cover my costs and not make money on postage. Sometimes the combined postage saving is great....sometimes not so much, just depends on the material. eBay Global purchases are not able to be combined.
If you notice extended shipping times it is due to conflicts I see that could cause a delay the day the auction closes.....work, travel, family, weather...... I try to ship within 24 hours of your payment. My default shipping is set at three days. Sometimes an unknown delay is unavoidable and I usually try to send a note. Do not expect weekend shipment. Basically, I ship VERY fast unless I cannot!
I only ship out of the United States using the eBay Global Shipping Program. I cannot get around it if you purchase and eBay does not ship to your location. I cannot cancel the transaction. I am locked out of the transaction until you pay. Please do not purchase if your country is not shipped to by eBay Global Shipping Program. Import or other charges that could be imposed by others are your responsibility and out of my control. eBay Global purchases are not able to be combined.
I will combine postage on most United States destination items depending on packaging needed to ship the item. Please ask for a revised shipping invoice before paying your eBay invoice.
Positive feedback is automatically left for you after you do same for me. Otherwise, I tend to leave feedback every 3-4 weeks.
My local post office is very small with limited hours and services. I do not ship out of country unless using the eBay Global Shipping Program.
Shipments mailed Monday to Friday. Saturday hours are VERY limited at post office.
I recycle all the shipping containers and packing material I can and use those for my shipments. Doing my part to save the world one mailing at a time.
