Ron Leith Auctions Sale - 44
Public Auction -
March 24, 2012
We learned from our weary 5:00 AM finish to the last auction and will hold
this sale over two days. Covers and postcards will be auctioned on
Saturday evening and stamps will be offered on Sunday. Current European
financial turmoils and the lingering USA recession has not dampened the
strong stamp auction market. In addition, steady oil prices hovering at
$100 per barrel have held the Canadian Loonie close to par with the USA
Dollar bringing a surge of aggressive Canadian stamp buyers into play.
It’s a great time to sell your stamps in Canada.
The auction will be held in conjunction with the RICHPEX 2012 Stamp Show
scheduled for Friday through Sunday March 23-25 from a new venue at the
Vancouver PNE Holiday Inn Express Hotel. This is another huge annual sale
and we look forward to seeing you there.
