There are no duplicates, I think. Also, the cost per stamp is about 1.1c, according to my calculations. These might fill half of the empty holes in my collection. The quality is quite good.

Go for it, Georgi!
At that price and for those numbers you need not be bothering about catalogue value. The only possible disappointment is that you may get several sets missing the top value. Then one day you'll find yourself buying the entire set all over again just to get the missing one. That's happened to me rather too many times!
I'm told the weather's mighty hot in Bulgaria right now - all the best from chilly, damp London!
I contacted the seller, but I haven't had a response yet. The ad is quite old too, it was published in the last days of April! I hope he hasn't sold it yet.
As for the weather, it's 39C here! The air conditioner's working at full power.
The hinges won't thin the stamps unless you just rip them off. Try soaking them off instead.
A penny a piece is hard to beat, and you'll have many hours of fun sorting them out.

If that is an all different collection of postally used, then $20US is a steal! Jump on it. Even if there is heavy duplication, you'll have a lot of excellent trading material.
Sounds like it will produce a few hours of fun and enjoyment - what this is all about!
Go for it! I hope you find its still up for sale!
Let us know!

I agree, Georgi--that is a great price. I would think that postally used Bulgarian stamps are pretty difficult to find. GO FOR IT!!!
Hi!
As some of you know, I collect Bulgarian stamps from the pre-1990 era. Well, I found a collection of 1800 POSTALLY used /not CTO/ priced at 36 BGN, that is about $20. I wonder if I should buy it. I know postally used stamps have a CV almost as high as mint ones.
I wonder what your opinion is.
Note: the stamps will be hinged. Will this ruin their value a lot? They have no gum, but the hinges may thin the paper.
