We are pleased to present the Grand Prix collection of Netherlands East Indies, formed over more than three decades by the distinguished philatelist Tay Peng Hian, RDP, FRPSL, former President of the FIP and FIAP.Widely regarded as the most
exceptional collection ever formed of the first three stamp issues of the Dutch colony, it includes major rarities from the imperforated first issue of 1864, the scarce perforated issue of 1868 and the third issue of 1870.
An estimated 80% of the great rarities of classic Netherlands Indies philately are housed in the collection, including outstandin town cancellations from Sambas, Benkoelen and Banda.The collection has received some of the highest honours in
international philately, including the FIP Grand Prix International in Seoul, the FIP Grand Prix d’Honneur in Luoyang and the World Stamp Championship in Bangkok. Following the publication of Mr Tay’s book in 2024, collectors now have the opportunity
to acquire material with the prestigious “Ex Tay Collection” provenance. Aditionally we will offer part I of the “Ricardo” collection of NEI pre-stamp mail whose highlights include the extremely sought VOC hs; large ovals, including unique “ZEEBRIEF”
hs, and British Occupation in superb condition.
