ChatGPT Rewrote my 10 Insider Tips for Bidding at Auction - #3 "Bid and buy with the end in mind" #stampauctionnetwork #top25USStamps #topUSStamps #stamp #snailmail #philately #stampcollecting #ChatGPT #drsuess #auctions #stampauctions #investing #collectibles
The philatelic world has lost a giant, we mourn the death of Bob Dumaine. Bob loved everything about stamps and stamp collecting.
His influence, creativity, and knowledge will be sorely missed. I especially remember his activity in 1992 to create standards
for Stamp Auction houses. We were just getting started writing auction software in 1990 and would create StampAuctionNetwork in 1994,
so that was all vivid in my memory. Read the full obituary (here).

Kelleher and Rogers Limited
Autumn General Sale, featuring the "Greenleaf" Collection of Liberated Areas - October 10-12, 2024
Nearly 600 lots to tempt both the general and specialist collector, starting with nearly 90 lots of coins and banknotes, followed by our expected selection of stamps and covers from Local Posts and Empire through PRC—and beyond to 19th century Japanese covers, Korean presentation sheets, and more. Highlights include extensive postal card uses of the Empire and early Republic, Kiautschou Boxer Rebellion postal history, attractive Liberated Areas including the Bo Tsing Local Issue and a dramatically misprinted Nanjing Road Incident souvenir sheet…along with multiple opportunities to obtain those iconic PRC sets and singles missing from your collection. Part II: The "Greenleaf" Collection of the Liberated Areas of the People's Republic of China (Lots 1001-1197)
Kelleher and Rogers Limited
Tony To-Wah Kwan Empress Dowager Jubilee & Surcharged Issues International Large Gold Medal Collecti - October 13, 2024
The name Tony Kwan is synonymous with Imperial China’s Dowagers Issue. Kelleher & Rogers is privileged to offer his multiple award-winning collection, which presents some of the finest and most difficult-to-obtain material relating to both the basic issue and its various surcharges—Proofs, unsurcharged Second Printings, Mollendorf’s special printing, a vast array of singles, groups and sets of each printing and surcharge, and a wonderful array of important and striking covers. Among these are the Small Figures 10c on 9ca double surcharge, the “Golden Dragon”, the “Red Ruby”, and the iconic January 1897 use of the Small Figures 4c on 4ca on an incoming cover from France. As much of this material has not been available for 20 years or more, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the advanced collector to fill out his or her collection.

Graham Beck, from the Youtube video channel, "Exploring Stamps"
does an amazing job introducing the next generation to Philately. His latest video looks at the United States "Cattle in the Storm" to ask the question... "Is this the most Beatiful U.S. Stamp"?
Let's show Graham some love and visit his site and take a listen.
In the video he mentions Canada's "Bluenose" as a contender for the most Beautiful stamp of all -- so in my video we will look at both stamps.
