You will find a link to the auction website here. Note that you can download two Adobe acrobat files for the Towson Collection as presented in the print catalog (there are three other collections being auctioned over the same weekend). But you should also checkout the individual country links for the individual lots. I particularly call your attention to what appears to be only a single image for a country lot but that in reality often contains multiple pages from that album.
The famous stamp collector Josiah Lilly said that there were 100,000 postage stamps he wanted for his collection and he succeeded in acquiring 77,000. My considerably easier target is 35,000 of the more common stamps from 1840-1940 contained in the Scott Blue International Album Volume 1. This blog will record my progress, provide general information about Classic era philately and hopefully encourage other "Blue" collectors.

The "Towson" Collection
Daniel F. Kelleher is auctioning on February 24, 2013 a worldwide stamp collection built in the 1950s-1970s and housed in over 100 Scott Specialty Albums. Now I know my fellow Blue collectors will have difficulty understanding why anyone would go to so much trouble when a perfectly good one volume album was available, but to each their own.
