A WORD ABOUT DUCK PRINTS T HIS OUTSTANDING COLLECTION OF DUCK PRINTS COMES FROM the Estate of Dr. Alfred S. Martin, whose formidable collection of United States covers will be offered at auction on March 30-31. The prints in this sale are generally excellent impressions on fresh paper without any apparent faults. The images of framed items in this catalogue were made with a digital camera and do not convey the true clarity and superior condition of the prints. Framed prints have not been removed for examination, but any visible flaws have been described. Nevertheless, all of the prints in this sale are sold as is and are not subject to return for reasons of condition. Buyers of framed items who wish to have lots shipped will be charged $25 per lot for packing and shipping by Federal Express (to prevent damage to frame and glass). Estimates are based on previous auction realizations and the pricing guide in The Duck Stamp Story. However, this is one of the most substantial offerings of Duck Prints in recent years, and we anticipate highly competitive bidding.
