Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:1176734 |
You are looking at a RARE sheet of Saudi Arabian 2p stamps from the PERSONAL ESTATE OF JOHN M. WILSON. Before his passing Mr. Wilson was a worldwide expert in Saudi stamps. Having lived in the Saudi region for over 20 years and an avid collector and AUTHOR OF BOOKS on the subject, He was responsible for the authentication of MANY auctions of valuable stamps. I am by no means an expert in stamps but was fortunate enough to contact Mr Ghassan “Gus�...�� Riachi. Not only was Riachi a close personal friend of Mr Wilson, but is ALSO A LEADING EXPERT in Saudi Arabian stamps. He is a published author in the field as well as a columnist for Linns. Mr Riachi personally saw this sheet of stamps for many years hanging on the wall of Mr Wilson’s office. Included in this sale is a Letter Of Authenticity from Gus Riachi. This item has been sealed in the frame by Mr Wilson therefor I have NOT removed it!The sheet does not appear to be adhered to the backing and in my opinion the margins are intact and folded under the sheet. This was probably done to accommodate the frame. Please see the pictures. THIS ITEM IS BEING SOLD AS IS!!!Watermarks have not been verified so I do not know the actual version of this sheet of stamps. PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS ONE SLIP BY!! Historic piece in the making!EACH STAMP CAN BE WORTH UPWARDS OF $35 each!!Happy bidding and GOOD LUCK!
