Condition (Total transparency):
New stamps. The fronts present a magnificent visual display: printing is very fresh, colors are vibrant, and margins are superb.
However, as is the norm for virtually all colonial sheets from this period that spent time in Asia, the gum on the back shows natural tropicalization. Staining and browning of the paper are visible on the back of the sheets. Numerous detailed photos of the backs are provided for complete transparency.

This massive lot (175 stamps in total) is ideal for building or restocking a business stock (resale individually, in pairs, or in sheets of 4). The valuation strictly reflects the dealer discount related to the tropicalization of the paper. The photos are an integral part of the description; please examine them carefully.
