This incredible hoard was purchased by the father of the current owner directly from the Mexican Post Office. In fact, a photocopy of the original purchase order, dated August 17, 1935, is included in the lot. Since the time it was issued, the National University set has become the iconic 20th Century set that every beginning Mexican collector dreams of owning, much like the Graf Zeppelin set for United States collectors or the Falkland Tercentenary set is for collectors of the British Commonwealth. Imagine finding one hundred sets of either of these two aforementioned sets in pristine sheets and large multiples! That would be ultimate show-stopper. What makes this holding even more remarkable is the very low printing number of the National University set. Only 1,500 of the 20P Airmail stamp were issued, meaning the lot offered here represents 6.7% of all sets possible. Putting that in perspective, to obtain the same percentage of U.S. Graf Zeppelin sets possible, one would have to acquire 4,088 sets which carry a current catalog value of $9,504,600.00. We feel safe in saying this is the largest current holding of this set, as well as being the largest ever offered at public auction.

An unbelievable and never-to-be-repeated opportunity to obtain one hundred sets of one of the most desirable and recognizable 20th Century sets of the World in immaculate never hinged condition - just as they came from the Post Office.
