CHINA STAMPS COLLECTION ON MINKUS ALBUM PAGES 150+ Photos at the end of the description. Up for auction is an incredible and hard-to-find stamp collection of China up to the 1990s, housed in a Minkus album and containing 5,300 stamps. Finding large collections like this for this country is unusual. It spans from the earliest issues to the 1990s, featuring not only the usual 'classics' but also an extensive selection of later stamps. This collection is predominantly used, with some mint stamps included, as depicted in the photos section. Generally, the condition ranges from good to fine, with the overall quality being better than what is typically seen in early collections. Although it appears mostly free of faults, there may be a few minor faults, which is common in old stamp collections. The album itself is in fair to good condition, with pages clean and free from rust, stains, spots, or any mildew odor.
