Sparks Auctions Sale - 52
Sparks Auctions' Sale #52 - January 30 - February 1, 2025
Welcome to the Sparks Auctions Winter 2025 sale!
This sale showcases an extensive selection of Canada and British North America, with particular emphasis on scarce and desirable plate and die proofs, superb-quality singles, and a diverse selection of striking modern errors and varieties. We're
also pleased to offer an exceptional range of Canadian revenue stamps, including a number of scarce examples, rarely seen on the market, and more of Earle Covert's extensive Tobacco Tax collections.
British Commonwealth and worldwide stamps feature many ever-popular sets and singles, including the iconic 1933 Falkland Islands Centenary, a range of Great Britain from Line Engraved to Seahorses, and a scarce holding of 1960s People's Republic
of China sheets and large multiples.
Canadian postal history is highlighted by a newly-recorded example of the rare August 1918 Pioneer flight of Lt. Tremper Longman, and a range of First and Second World War prisoner of war covers. The extensive and well-received offering of
worldwide postal history from our last sale has been expanded, with a further selection of Victorian-era India postal history, United States, a broad selection of military and POW mail, and much more.
All bidders, even those who may not routinely browse our Lots and Collections, may find it fruitful to peruse those pages of both postal history and stamps, where some smaller offerings, particularly of classic and semi-classic stamps, complement
the more voluminous holdings. For the first time, in addition to those lots which have been extensively photographed online, many feature detailed videos showcasing the entirety of the lot.
For those participating from outside of Canada, we highlight 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 Spring and Autumn 2025 auctions; 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.
Thank you for your interest in the sale, and best of luck with your bids!
