FRENCH COLONIES TILL 2016, (un)used/never hinged. In the middle of France, in the beautiful town Rocomadour we picked up this very beautiful collection of only French Colonies, mostly the African and Asian Colonies from A till Z, collected very neatly by the collector who spent a lot of money starting 1970, till 2016 when he stopped because of his age. According to the man he spent well over €50.000,= on only new issues, besides that he bought the older stamps in Auctions or from dealers. He started to count the total catalogue value(some books done) but stopped because it was too much work, but he thinks the total value is between €250.000,= and €300.000,=, now offered as one collection, ideal to continue or to split, housed in 10 Yvert albums
