Cherrystone Auctions Specialized Russia: The Igor Gorski Collection
For a philatelist, the stamps of R.S.F.S.R are fascinating and challenging in many respects. During the period of five years, less than 200 stamps were issued, but postal rates changed at least 23 times. Some of the newly printed stamps were obsolete by the time they reached the post offices. Postmasters throughout the land had to contend not only with political strife, floods, epidemics and hunger, but also with staggering inflation and postal economics. Mr. Gorski assembled the most elusive varieties, errors and rarities available for each issue, along with properly used stamps on cover. Many of the items in this collection are illustrated in referenced handbooks (R.S.F.S.R, Specialized Catalogue of Postage Stamps 1918-1923, Standart Collection, 1997; Catalogue of Postage Stamps, Russia, R.S.F.S.R and U.S.S.R 1857-1940, A.V. Zverev, 2013; Postage Stamps Catalogue 1856-1991, Victor Liapine, 2010; and others). There are numerous items described as being only known examples or unique.
At Cherrystone, we have been privileged to offer many great collections of Russian Philately (including those formed by Z.Mikulski, Gordey Denisenko, Leonard Tann, Patrick Campbell, Andrew Cronin, Dr.Adolph Ackerman, Shlomo Shtern, Patrick Eppel, Alexander Sadovnikov, Dmitry Nikitin, The Aurora and Vladivostok collections). We now present the world renowned Gorski Collection. Recipient of Large Gold Medals at numerous FIP World and other Stamp Exhibitions, this monument to Russian Philately contains many iconic treasures, offered here for the first time.
We hope you will enjoy this collection and good luck in bidding.
