AN EXTREMELY RARE AND DESIRABLE COMPLETE COLLECTION OF FEDERAL DUCK STAMP PRINTS FROM 1934 TO 2002, CONTAINING NUMEROUS BETTER EDITIONS. RARELY OFFERED AS AN INTACT COLLECTION.
A spreadsheet is linked which lists the edition of each print and contains comments on a number of prints. While the two most valuable Duck prints (1st edition Nos. RW6-RW7) are present here as 2nd editions (which are also very rare), most of the collection is made up of 1st edition prints, including the rare 1959 print (RW26). Executive edition prints make up the most recent years.
