Welcome to Sparks Auctions’ Sale 35, which will take place from Wednesday
January 27th through Friday January 29th, 2021. For the last several months
we have been preparing this sale, and we believe the results shown here
showcase our hard work, diverse philatelic knowledge, and passion for the
hobby.
At Sparks Auctions the property of our consignors is of the utmost
importance. Our aim is first and foremost that every consignment whether a
single stamp or several cartons obtains the highest realization. Our
lotting decisions, careful descriptions and numerous high-quality scans
speak volumes about the care we take in our work. This is why we are
receiving more and more consignments not only from estates, but more
importantly from collectors, who want their treasures handled in the most
professional and lucrative way.
This is the first of three sales we are preparing for the first half of
2021. We are confident it will provide you with nice new material for your
collections or dealer stock. Some of the interesting items offered in this
sale include:

buyer’s premium remains at an industry low of 17%.
