Labor Day Weekend Auction of United States and Worldwide Collections and Large Lots
An Overwhelming Success!
A packed auction room of 99 floor bidders, plus numerous phone bidders, professional
auction agents and hundreds of book and internet bidders resulted in very high, often
spectacular realizations. In the end, 159 successful bidders carved up the 675 lot sale,
resulting in our pre-sale estimate of $1,408,725 being eclipsed by the $2,124,562 realization.
Exceptional strength was evident in all areas of U.S., whether it be intact collections,
collection balances, postage lots or back-of-the-book issues. The foreign material sold
extremely well across the board with the possible exception of run-of-the-mill Germany which
is soft at the moment.
Consignments are now being solicited for our next large lot sale scheduled for late winter.
Many fine properties are already in house so contact us soon to avoid disappointment.
