Catalog at StampAuctionNetwork Online Images Available Public Auction with LIVE Internet Bidding US Material Worldwide Material Postal History Found in SAN Search Engine Spink Shreves Galleries - The William H. Gross Collection of Scandinavia - May 16, 2008 On Friday, May 16, 2008 the impressive collection of Scandinavian rarities formed by William H. Gross will be sold at unreserved public auction in New York City. And, as is typical of the remarkably generous nature of both Sue and Bill Gross, the entire sale proceeds will benefit an important and worthwhile charity - the Millennium Villages Project at the Earth Institute.

The Gross Collection of Scandinavia, while relatively small in the number of lots offered (110), will be regarded as an important auction event in the field of Scandinavian philately. Several of the most recognizable and valuable rarities from Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden are found in the auction - with particular emphasis on the classic first issues of Finland.

As with all Spink Shreves auctions, bidders may participate in the auction - live on the internet - during the sale. Please see our website www.SpinkShreves.com for details of this exciting bidding option

The Gross Collection of Scandinavian rarities will be appropriately honored and preserved in a special hardbound all-color auction catalog. It has been similarly designed much like his catalog for the now famous sale of his magnificent Great Britain collection, which last year realized the highest amount for any single stamp auction ever conducted. These and any future Gross Collection sales catalogs will certainly form an incomparable “set” for any philatelic library.

Catalogs for the William H. Gross Collection of Scandinavia are now available for $40.00 each ($50.00 to non-U.S. addresses). Orders may be placed online using a credit card at www.SpinkShreves.com or by calling 800-556-7826 or 972-788-2100. LIVE Internet Bidding at StampAuctionNetwork.

Catalog at StampAuctionNetwork Online Images Available Public Auction with LIVE Internet Bidding Worldwide Material Postal History Found in SAN Search Engine Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries, Inc. - The Islander Collection of South America - June 5-6, 2008 The classic stamps of South America have fascinated collectors since philately's earliest days. In June 2008, Siegel Auction Galleries will present the legendary Islander collection, comprising the rarest and most outstanding stamps from five of the philatelically most significant South American countries: Brazil, Buenos Aires, Chile, Colombia and Peru. Each country is represented in the sale by its most outstanding philatelic rarity, as well as an array of rare stamps, blocks and covers.

From Brazil we have the legendary "Pack Strip", a unique se-tenant multiple comprising the 30 and 60-reis values from the second composite plate used to print the 1843 Bull's Eye issue. The Buenos Aires Barquitos issue provides the remarkable "In Peso" tête-bêche pair, which experts consider to be the only surviving tête-bêche multiple of the issue. For the first time ever, the auction market will have an opportunity to bid on the famous cover bearing the Chile 1854 5-centavos Lithograph block of fourteen, which was acquired by the collector privately more than forty years ago. The first day cover of Colombia's first issue is the only First Issue First Day Cover from any country in the Americas, including Canada and the United States. Finally, Peru offers two equally worthy candidates for the top-rated position: the ex-Weinberger block containing the Medio Peso Rose Red se-tenant error, and the spectacular combination cover with the Medio Peso Rose Red error and a pair of the One Dinero Blue first issue.

These outstanding items have been shown in Court of Honor and Aristocrats of Philately displays in major international exhibitions for decades, but they rarely appear at auction, and never before have all of them been gathered in one collection at one time. The entire sale is destined to be heralded as one of the most important philatelic auctions of all time. LIVE Internet Bidding at StampAuctionNetwork.

Catalog at StampAuctionNetwork Online Images Available Public Auction with LIVE Internet Bidding US Material Worldwide Material Postal History Found in SAN Search Engine Sparks Auctions - Sparks Auction #2 - June 6-7, 2008 The Second Sparks Auction offers nearly 2000 lots in Commonwealth, WorldWide, Canada, Postal History and Lots & Collections. Highlights include SouthWest Africa, Mafia Island and East Africa, lovely pence issues of Canada and B.N.A., Large and Small Queens, rarities and die proofs from King George VII and Queen Elizabeth II, back of the book and provinces, postal history (especially Nova Scotia), and featuring a magnificent De Pinedo cover of Newfoundland and a very large volume of lots and collections that despite the sheer size does not sacrifice quality. LIVE Internet Bidding at StampAuctionNetwork.

The overwhelming first impression of this sale is its sheer physical size; hundreds of albums in rows on shelves; many storage units filled with cartons which are in turn filled with collections, postcards, envelopes, stamps in bundles, stamps organized in glassines, "102" cards, stockbooks, Post Office new issues, postal artifacts, and more stamps. We have spent hundreds of hours describing these lots – and we have described them fairly and in a consistent manner. The overall quality is quite high for this great mass of philatelic collectibles that are the property of several dozen estates and collections.

Some of the bulk lots have a retail value well in excess of $10,000, others are estimated to be worth less than the cost of shipping. Most fall somewhere in between. We do know that thorough viewing will be rewarded because there will be hidden treasures.

While the body of the auction occupies hundreds of square feet, its heart is in the vaults - interesting postal history, superb stamps, items that are scarce, rare or even unique, valuable stamps and covers are found throughout the catalogue. We make special note of some exceptional items in each session.

The exceptional collection of South West Africa has many rarities. A personal favourite is the used 10/- block from the first setting with two WESi errors. The Sparks catalogue will serve as a reference for the scarce items for decades to come. The rest of British Africa is of interest with Mafia Island and East Africa among the features.

The Second session has a number of lots with essays, proofs and other artwork for stamp issues which are both fascinating and very rare, often unique. The Canada and BNA sessions have numerous exceptional lots. Lovely Pence issues are complemented by the interesting group of half-pennys which include a pair and two lots with an imperforate and perforated half-penny with the same major re-entry. The Large Queen section of 61 lots is strong with mints, blocks and re-entries and includes what is believed to be the largest mint multiple of the watermarked Three cent value. The Small Queens through to the Quebecs offer many stamps of exceptional quality as well as interesting items for the specialist. The 68 lots of the Admiral Issue will fill many holes for discriminating collectors who have been searching for just the right stamp for their collection.

Large Die Proofs and great rarities are featured in the later KGV and QEII Issues. We note a missing hologram full sheet, a very rare imperforate between booklet, the Missing Moose, and the 1998 Christmas perf change matched set of plate blocks. The Registration issues include lovely re-entries and a strong Precancel section is high-lighted by an Amherst on the 4¢ Admiral. Nova Scotia features a mint #1 and a superb three penny. One of the most exceptional items in the sale is a mint Newfoundland two penny scarlet vermilion, very fine with huge margins.

Session Five has wonderful postal history, much of it from collector/dealer Roger Greer's collections of Nova Scotia. Several lovely pence and 1859 covers are highlighted by a ten penny cover; a ten cent rate to Sweden and a gorgeous six penny cover are highlights of the Large Queens. British Columbia, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia all have at least one cover waiting for a Gold Medal Exhibit.

Newfoundland has a magnificent De Pinedo cover, a Columbia cover and a diagonally bisect eight penny cover. Over 350 lots of foreign covers, cover lots and postcards have numerous items awaiting a place in your collection.

We have referred elsewhere to the Sixth Session of lots and collections. One collection of Large Queens has a catalogue over $47,000. We invite you to view this and to note how few stamps have short perfs. A similar story can be told many, many times for the 486 lots in this session. LIVE Internet Bidding at StampAuctionNetwork.

Siegel Auction Galleries, Inc. - 2008 Rarities of the World - June 7, 2008 The 2008 Rarities of the World sale continues the Siegel firm's annual custom of presenting many outstanding stamps and covers in one spectacular auction. This year, the sale offers unusual covers from the Erin Gunter Estate and a Midwestern collector, including Louisiana usages and rare Confederates. A newly-discovered 5c 1847 Wheeling Grid cover is offered to the market for the first time. Rare and superb stamps will be found throughout, including a Scott #9 graded Mint NH Gem 100 Jumbo by PSE (the only unused stamp prior to 212 to achieve the zenith of grades). Scott 5 (Position 7R1E) is represented by a single offered for the first time at auction and two covers with strips containing this major rarity. Invert errors include a block of the 1c Pan-American, a single 1c graded XF 90 and, remarkably, a 4c Pan-American Invert with a new PSE certificate graded XF 90 (the finest graded example). To celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Inverted “Jenny”, Position 21 will be offered. Finally, there is an extensive section of BNA postal history rarities.

The Rarities sale will be held on Saturday, June 7, following the June 5-6 sale of the Islander collection of South America. The three days should generate millions of dollars in sales of many world-class rarities, including the legendary “Pack Strip” of Brazil. LIVE Internet Bidding at StampAuctionNetwork.
