Sparks Auctions Sale - 14
Sparks Auction #14 -
April 8-10, 2014
Collectors of all levels will find something of interest in this sale. This
auction introduces to the stamp collecting community a handful of items not
previously known as well as a great many rarities up to and including
traditional world-class expensive classics. Every auction our consignors
trust us to sell an increasing number of their valuable items. In this
auction, a total of 105 consignors have laid out a veritable “candy store”
of temptation.
A fair number of the items to be offered have been in collections for
decades and sometimes are offered for the first time from a correspondence
not previously cherished by a stamp collector. The task of viewing these
lots will certainly be challenging for our customers who try to view
everything.
In Canada we start with one of the rarest Canadian stamps, an unused number
one, and it does not go downhill from there. A very fine and never hinged
half-penny stamp did not even make it to the front cover of our catalogue.
Top quality continues from the earliest to the latest in Canada. Then, as
can be seen on the front cover, B.N.A. has some eye-popping rarities.
Our popular Lots and Collections section has fewer lots than previously but
the overall variety and value are comparable to previous auctions. Those
who view will find that the median quality of the lots as well as the
individual stamps has improved from previous auctions.
We always like mentioning literature and this auction offers hundreds of
works not seen in prior auctions. A goodly number of these have been
combined in carton lots and will prove interesting to collectors looking
for new interests (they may also prove to be a bargain).
Our Worldwide section offers more lots than usual, as well as some strong
USA. This and our British Commonwealth (check out the Rhodesia) round out a
strong and
diverse auction.
We invite you to participate.
