Sparks Auctions Sale - 51

Sparks Auctions' Sale #51 - October 17-19, 2024

Welcome to the Sparks Auctions Fall 2024 sale!

We are pleased to offer our traditional selection of quality stamps and postal history of Canada, British North America, and the world. Select single stamps of Canada and B.N.A. are complemented by a range of scarce multiples, plate proofs, die proofs, and more. Our Worldwide section includes artist essays, specimens, and ever-popular varieties and sets of the British Commonwealth. Postal history includes an extensive offering of single covers, including a broad worldwide component, particularly of India and pioneer aviation, with a variety of pilot-signed covers. Our offerings of world postal history collections and accumulations are particularly strong, sure to entice collector and dealer alike.

We encourage all bidders, even those who may not routinely browse our Lots and Collections, to peruse those sections of both postal history and stamps. Far from exclusively voluminous collections and carton lots, these sections also include smaller offerings of material, including stock pages of classic stamps, group lots of covers, wholesale quantities of single stamps or sets, and more. As always, these lots have been extensively photographed, with thousands of high-quality images available online.

For those participating from outside of Canada, we emphasize that our sale is conducted in Canadian Dollars, which may prove advantageous to many bidders who may take advantage of the strength of the U.S. Dollar, Euro, Swiss Franc, or other currencies.

We continue to welcome consignments for our Winter 2025 auction; contact us today to discuss how we may be able to assist. For those who would prefer an outright sale, we are also available to discuss the direct purchase of your collection.

This sale is the result of the dedicated efforts of a core group of professionals, including Eliseo Temprano (President), Peter MacDonald (General Manager), Kate Morrow (Auction Coordinator), and Matt Johnston (Website & Technical Coordinator), as well as an enthusiastic team supporting lotting, sale viewing, and auction day. We thank you for your interest in the sale, and wish you luck with your bids!
