Mission kiloware, or a mission mixture, is kiloware put together by charitable organizations, churches, etc., whose volunteers gather used stamps and then sell them to dealers or collectors. Mission kiloware will normally have high duplication of common letter rate definitives, but good mission kiloware will be advertised as "unpicked", meaning the scarcer or better stamps will not have been removed from the mix, and there is at least the possibility of the collector finding good stamps for a low price.
