Sparks Auctions Sale - 27
Sparks Auction #27 -
May 29-30, 2018
Welcome to Sparks Auctions Sale 27.
We are pleased to offer one of our most varied and interesting sales yet,
with tempting philatelic material for all collecting interests and budgets.
Highlights of Canada and British North America include a lovely mint
Newfoundland collection, featuring an exceptional selection of fresh and
very fine items, offered as individual lots. New Brunswick is also well
represented with many plate proofs, including a rare full sheet of the
storied Connell issue.
Small Queen enthusiasts will find well over 50,000 stamps on offer, from
accumulations to specialized studies and postmark collections. We also
offer a lovely and advanced collection of choice, used OHMS perforated
Officials, offered primarily as single lots. High quality single stamps
also abound.
Postal History continues to be strong, with over 500 lots on offer. We are
pleased to feature the exceptional New Brunswick collection of George
MacManus, as well as the eagerly-anticipated follow-up to the Ted Kerzner
Canadian squared circle postmarks, a lovely collection of Canadian mail to
and from France, over 40 lots of Canadian military postal history, and much
more. We also offer a quality selection of postmarks, including many fancy
cancels.
Worldwide stamps are presented in both single lots and county collections,
with many highlights from seldom-offered countries and an array of
specialized material. Of particular note is an advanced collection of
Tibet, featuring many rarities and unusual items, as well as a further
installment of the popular British Commonwealth perforated SPECIMEN stamps
of the 1930s.
Sparks Auctions is always proud to offer a number of clean and useful
postage lots. Many of these are "ready to use," having already been sorted
by denomination and are presented with complete inventories, saving the
successful bidders many hours of organizing.
We also continue to offer an industry-leading selection of images online,
with this sale having over 3,000 individual high resolution scans. These
images – including many of larger lots and collections – can be viewed
below, allowing collectors from around the world to enjoy the benefits of
live bidding.

Enjoy the sale!
