I am breaking up a nice Scott International Album collection into individual country offerings. The overall collection was too large to offer in a single lot.
Pages in general start with the earliest issues and continue to 1990. Note some exceptions below for end dates. Earlier pages to about 1940 are the older type / style printing International pages that seem to have been copied on newer pages (see photos). So the old pages are in nice condition. Then about 1940 it seems like the later style international pages have been used.
I counted the pages once. So count could be off as I did not double check. But it will be very 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.
The pages to 1940 are more heavily used and the newest pages are mostly lightly to unused or so it seems. Earlier pages are more likely to have hinge marks. From early review the 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 below. Holes are in good condition. I may repair some as required but have not seen the need thus far. Exceptions would be noted below. All pages are useful, seemingly complete, and just fine to start a collection.
Many countries pages contain stamps that I will only lightly 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. It is just that 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.
Not all pages are shown. Will try for first, a few middle, and last of main stamps and maybe some interesting BOB pages.
These should combine easily for shipping. The first few lots may see some savings depending. But once you get over about -12 you probably will not see much if any shipping cost increase ? again depending. Order away!

Any notes above this line are more specific to this auction generally outlining condition.
My listings are part of recent and past large collection purchases containing many hundreds of cartons.
They keep coming! I like selling stamps! The collections come from all over the country and some from foreign sources. Many
I have not had them long or examined the items closely. Please see photos.
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 hundreds of albums. Comments are made based on my experiences and my 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 - 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!
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. Global shipping cannot 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. 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. Combined shipping is not possible on international shipments.
Per eBay... The Global Shipping Program already provides your buyer with an invoice for all applicable item, shipping, and import charges. Unfortunately, you can't edit these charges, even to offer a shipping discount. When your buyer pays, just ship the item to the US shipping center specified, and the Global Shipping Program will forward it to the buyer. Your buyer will directly pay you the purchase price of the item, plus any domestic shipping cost you specified in the listing.
