Gross Collection - United States Classics, 1847–1869" .[/b] This is an extraordinarily high quality publication that faithfully and exquisitely reproduces the most comprehensive and most valuable classic United States stamp collection in private hands. This 136-page book depicts in full color the entire eight frame exhibit "United States Classics, 1847–1869" formed by the renowned philatelist, William H. Gross, which was awarded one of philately's most prestigious exhibiting awards—the Grand Prix National at the Washington 2006 International Stamp Show.
Depicted and described within this impressive coffee-table style book, which was produced by Spink Shreves Galleries, are literally many of the most recognizable—and valuable—iconic rarities of classic United States philately. The book is beautifully hard bound with bronze foil stamping, and is perfectly protected by a tear-resistant dust jacket. The full color reproductions within the interior pages are incredibly detailed, as well as printed by the finest quality color presses available today—and all on archival quality paper. Retail Value $80.
Donated and personally autographed by by Bill Gross. There are very few known signed copies of this book.
for more information check out http://www.collectorsclub.org/Bill_Gross_book.shtml
Special terms. The winner of this lot will take possession of this book for one year, after which they will surrender it back to Droege Computing to be auctioned again. Each owner is asked to add their signature to Bill Gross's and to add remarks related to Stamp Collecting and/or Diabetes. After 10 years, we will retire the book and offer it to the Philatelic Museum in Washington DC, or sell it to the highest bidder (this is the 8th time offered). Each years' winner will receive an unsigned copy of the book to keep permanently.
Provenance. 2014 John Emery $775, 2015 Gordon Eubanks $925, 2016 Andrew Titley $525, 2017 Randall Henson $475, 2018 Andy Carr $600, 2019 David Benson $525. 2021 Eric Neville $1100. This is the 8th offering of the book. I have attached the signatures to date I donated last winter and won this book. All proceeds go to Diabetes Society. I added My John Hancock to the book last year. This year I will be the nine time Auctioned. I will pass this year just maybe the opening bid but I will try to win this book in the Tenth Year.
