Sparks Auctions Sale - 26
Public Auction -
January 30-31, 2018
Welcome to our January 2018 sale! This is an exciting time here at Sparks
Auctions, especially since our memorable September 2017 sale, where we once
again realized several world record prices, including the highest price
ever paid for a Canadian stamp, $327,750 for a lovely mint 12d Queen
Victoria. Sale 26 will continue to offer a good variety of quality
material, and for all collecting interests and budgets. We are proud to
have been entrusted with several high quality collections.
The Canada and BNA section is full of lovely material, with probably the
largest number of high quality stamps we have offered yet in a single sale,
as well as a very wide range of Unitrade listed items. Readers will also
notice that a great number of lots in this section are offered with
certificates. Of note are many fresh and mint never hinged stamps in
singles, blocks of four, plate blocks as well as complete sheets.
We have the honour of offering a unique collection of Prince Edward Island
stamps, which won the Grand Award at the 1957 National Exhibition in
Ottawa, the Grand Award at the 1956 BNAPEX and which had been put away
since 1964. You will find in it many rare and not often offered or seen
material.
Our popular Canada and Worldwide lots and collections section yet again
offers a good selection of different country collections, in albums,
stockbooks, dealer stock, and more. Of note are some strong Netherlands
collections, Nepal collectors will find a specialized selection of early
sheets in 12 lots, especially the half anna issues, ex. Ken Kershaw. We
also have a strong offering of very useful Canadian postage lots, including
many self-adhesives, high values and "P" values.
