For Dan, maybe this will help with the right vs left portrait issue. 1st row faces left, 2nd row right (for description purposes).
2nd Series high values
My "b" set of the 3rd Series
The high values ($2 and up) are insanely difficult to find with 3 margins. A good 4 margin copy is almost unheard of! You can expect to pay 150-200% (or more) of CV for 4 margins! These would are considered VF-EX for this issue.

re: US 2nd and 3rd Series Revenues
Now that is what I call WOW! Makes my feeble attempt at assembling a revenue collection appear, well, feeble.

Outstanding stuff Eric. You have added to the Scott Specialized in this area by a lot.

To redo just what is pictured on those 2 pages would cost around $6,000. Add the R130 that is not in the book and you jump to over $7000. Not part of my collection that I will be duplicating anytime soon!!

Since you are not able to mount many US Revenues, have you ever considered foreign revenues? Then you would have many fun hours of sorting and mounting again. As a plus the stamp collecting hobby as a whole would benefit from your expertise.
Plus maybe I could unload some of my foreign revenues, which I don't care to collect. If you have any interest in them, private message me.
By-the-way that is one kick-ass collection, the best I've ever seen. I can just about imagine a collection of French revenues of the same caliber.
