Our September Sale #348 is packed with interesting and better material. The highlight has to be the full sheet of U.S. J92 dull gum. The 4¢ dull gum was only recently listed in Scott after discovery of some plate blocks in 2016. This sheet was found in a consignment among a group of random U.S. as part of a future auction lot. The owner had no idea what it was.
This auction is somewhat smaller in number of lots but larger in value. The U.S. singles section is largely one man’s lifetime collection.
The auction closes with a fabulous dealer stock lot that is filled with great individual items from beginning to end!
Viewing will be open by appointment only beginning Tuesday, August 22nd. Please call or email to schedule an appointment.

Our July Sale #347 brings our anniversary auction. We have come a long way in 44 years. Each sale has more variety and more valuable stamps and covers. How is the market? Rolling right along. The task of the auction is to do right by both the buyer and seller. In this sale, some of our sellers will be extremely happy. Lot 319, the U.S. #233a, was hiding in plain sight. The collector was not aware of his special stamp.
I am very proud of our staff. They find all types of errors and valuable stamps that often the owners were not aware of their value or even what the stamp was. If you consign your material to us, we will treat it with care and lot it in a manner to garner you the best possible return.
Oops! What are the highlights of this auction? Too many to list! Happy hunting! Continue reading…….
