Inaugural AutoHammer Sale - February 13, 2025

This new format allows Fixed Close Auctions, Mail Sales, and Internet-Only Sales to be conducted as live auctions, where bidders can place bids on each lot as it comes up, just like a real-time auction. Several auction houses have already signed up to use this new format, so this is your chance to experience the new format and give feedback live during the sale. These sales do not need audio, but I will be running an audio feed to stop occasionally to answer questions.

Graham Beck, from the Youtube video channel, "Exploring Stamps"
does an amazing job introducing the next generation to Philately. His latest video looks at the United States "Cattle in the Storm" to ask the question... "Is this the most Beatiful U.S. Stamp"?
Let's show Graham some love and visit his site and take a listen.
In the video he mentions Canada's "Bluenose" as a contender for the most Beautiful stamp of all -- so in my video we will look at both stamps.
