VERY FINE. A RARE COMPLETE SET OF THE 1898 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE ON AN INTACT PAGE FROM A ROOSEVELT PRESENTATION ALBUM

It is believed that only approximately 85 were produced. Of these, many pages were taken apart. The last intact set we offered (outside of a complete album) was in 2000, and this is the first on an intact page since we started keeping computerized records.
