Welcome to our General Sale #48, our fifth auction of the year.

The material in this sale is the property of an impressive 143 different consignors, and the result is this wide range of material, with quality Canada and provinces, British Commonwealth and worldwide singles, sets and collections, including part one of the W.J. McGill collection of Scandinavia, a good offering of early Great Britain, and much more.

Be sure to have a close look at our over 450 exciting lots of postal history offerings, including part two of the extensive David Hobden and Michael Rixon pre-Confederation Upper Canada postal history collection and part two of the Gordon Richardson early Manitoba postal history collection, as well as the Ted Nixon collection of Canadian fancy cancellations of the Small Queen issue, and an excellent offering of R.P.O. postal history from the Peter McCarthy collection. You will also find a large selection of other useful postal history from Canada and a wide variety of worldwide countries including those in Scandinavia. Also of note in this sale is a great offering of philatelic literature.

We are proud to continue our long-standing tradition of showing online photos or scans of every single lot, so you know what you are buying, especially if you are not able to do pre-sale viewing in person. This sale is accompanied by about 10,000 high quality pictures, which can all be seen in full colour on StampAuctionNetwork.com.

As usual, this sale will be conducted live on StampAuctionNetwork.com, also with a live floor, via telephone and other traditional bidding methods. A reminder that our buyer’s fee is still at an industry-low 17%, and that all transactions are in Canadian dollars - a bonus for US customers and those using other currencies.

The current catalog features the philatelic collection of Paul Lettens, a renowned Estonian philatelist and engineer. His collection includes rare stamps and blocks from China, Estonia, Soviet Russia, and other countries. Mr. Lettens' passion for stamps started in his childhood and continued throughout his life (3rd October 1927 – 14th September 1981). He was also known for his radio programs about philately.

We invite you to explore this catalog and discover the treasures in Paul Lettens' collection. From flora and fauna to sports and Estonian culture, this collection is full of fascinating items.

The sale starts with meaty US collections and accumulations. The first lot is a collector made collection offered intact, suggested bid of $22,000.00, followed by several dozen more, all the way down to a cute precancel lot filling a carton, suggested bid of $50.00. The Canada and provincials lots are also very desirable with suggested bids ranging from $7,000.00 down to $100.00.

The large offering of covers includes a U.S. WWII patriotic lot and a lot with 1,700 Collin’s first days. A U.S. and worldwide mixture put together over many years by a stamp dealer who threw any cover that looked interesting into a box and told us not to take anything out so he could get his “bonus” in one lump sum. The singles and sets section contain material of various conditions with wide ranging price points to appeal to all levels of dealers and collectors.

Again, the US leads the way, but Canada and Italian Areas are strongest in the worldwide with highlights in Australia, France, Germany, Poland and Russia.

Check out the almost 8,500 scans to guide you, but as always, if more information is needed feel free to call us between October 30th and November 8th to speak with one of our describers. As a reminder, a 2% surcharge with be charged to all credit cards payments beginning November 1st.
