1     Very large accumulation of album pages (about 16 inches thick), many being US-produced
      printed pages. All sorts of material, some sorted into folders. Would take many hours to sort
      (and some hours even to view in detail), but we have seen a few more unusual pickings
      amongst much that is standard. Good variety. (Many 1,000s)     ..      ..         ..         ..          ..          £150.
 2     World collection in seven hefty printed Scott International Postage Stamp Album volumes,
      covering the period from early issues to about 1969/70, with printed pages throughout. Seems
      to be complete except for the volume covering the C-E part of the alphabet. Looks sparse at
      first sight, but actually contains some thousands of stamps.          ..         ..          ..           ..             £120.
 3     Two similar albums; one for countries D-Z 1953-61, the other for K-Z 1944-54, with general

 4     Box with thousands of packets which may at some time have been in order. Much USA seen
      (inc. plate blocks), but the box covers the world with few exceptions. Mainly off-paper –
      looks like a mix between a dealer’s stock and an accumulation. Much is cheap, but numbers
      of medium-value stamps also seen, mint, sets/part sets, etc.       ..           ..           ..         ..             £100.
 5     Extensive world lot in 24 binders, each with clear pocketed pages. Appears to be a collector’s
       accumulation rather than collection – some on piece, many duplicated, much USA. main
      value simply in sheer numbers, but would be worth trimming down. (Many 1,000s)     ..      ..          £85.
 6     Medium carton with an interesting mix. Album leaves, stockleaves, packets, loose stamps,
      covers, etc. all included, of a wide variety of age and country. Common are included, but also
      many slightly better, some sets and miniature sheets, and some less commonly seen material.
      (Many 1,000s)         ..           ..         ..          ..         ..          ..            ..          ..           ..           ..             £75.
 7     Medium box with hundreds of pocketed pages containing USA and world countries’ stamps,
      some covers, postcards, some blocks/m.s. of 1960s/70s thematic/c.t.o. material. A world
      range, but collected in the USA. (Many 1,000s)          ..           ..            ..           ..           ..            ..   £60.

THE AUCTION VENUE is 700 yards West of our Shop, on Ferry Road. It has its own car park.
The bar (upstairs) is open 6-10pm and also serves a variety of food, teas and coffees. Please note that
we do not allow drinks at the viewing tables, but you are welcome to bring drinks down from the bar
once the auction has started.

* If you find time is tight to get bids posted in time, we are happy to accept bids by telephone, fax or email. Please always use first class post for sending bids.
** The notes on the reverse of the Bid Form form part of our terms of business - please read from time
to time. Explanations of our terms, principles, practices, etc. can be had simply by asking at any time.
* A Buy or Bid Sale will be held as normal - see back of Bid Form for details.

There is no VAT added to the price of lots, no handling charge to buyers, and no fee for using credit or debit cards; simply the buyer’s premium of 10% (and postage at cost when goods are sent out to clients).


NORMAL BIDDING STEPS
We list here our normal bid steps for your information. This may be of help to bidders who are unable to
attend the sale, as any written bids received which do not fit our normal pattern would usually be taken
down to the next normal step. (We keep to these increments as much as possible, but do sometimes
change if circumstances make it desirable.)
Up to £20, bids are in £1 steps. From £20 to £30, bids are in £2 steps.
From £30 to £50, bids are in £2 or £3 steps (i.e. £30, £32, £35, £38, £40, £42, £45, £48, £50).
From £50 to £100 in £5 steps. From £100 to £200, bids are in £10 steps.
From £200 to £300, bids are in £20 steps.
From £300 to £500, bids are in £20 or £30, and above this in 5% to 10% steps.

Our machine will be operative during our stated opening hours from now until the date of the sale. As well as this, it will operate 24-hours from 10am on Saturday 19 January until 3pm on Monday 21 January. Please do not fax bids to us after that time.
E-mail bids should be sent to us at [email protected] at any time from the moment you receive this catalogue until 3pm on Monday 21 January. Please do not e-mail bids to us after that time. Please use the format and wording used on the bid form that comes with your auction

CREDIT CARDS

We are happy to accept MasterCard and Visa credit card payments, as well as payments by Switch and Delta. This facility can be used by room purchasers (who pay their accounts at the auction), by other local customers (who pay their bill in our shop), and by postal buyers.
In order to deal with postal clients, our bid forms have been designed to make space for credit card instructions. If you want your purchases charged in this way, please complete the appropriate section.
Do not complete these details unless you want to pay by credit card, and to have the lots posted.

We have negotiated good rates with our bank, and are able to absorb the bank charges for this service ourselves, and therefore there is no additional charge for the use of this facility, as long as postal bidders give us their details in advance of posting. Only for postal buyers where card details are given after posting, we will charge 1.9% extra (Visa/MasterCard) or 18p (Switch and Delta), plus cost of posting receipt slip.


Coming to the auction ?
Remember the Buy or Bid Sale - you can bring things along for sale on the night. We charge 25p per
lot entry fee, and 10% commission on sales (1% optional insurance).
All sorts of things sell well - single stamps, sets, country collections, empty albums, mixed boxes,
and so on. If you have a number of lots to enter you can pick up a supply of forms from the shop in
advance.
Lots can be enetered for the Buy or Bid Sale in advance at our shop, by appointment. Small lots (single stamps, sets, single covers or cards, etc; i.e. that will fit on one of our standard large forms) are charged at the normal 25p entry fee, but any lots larger than this are charged £1 each entry. (The 25p entry still applies to larger lots if they are entered for sale on the night.)

 This auction is conducted according to the "Philatelic Auctioneers Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale" (available
 if requested).
A Buyer’s Premium of 10% (inclusive of global v.a.t.) will be added to the sale price of all lots.

 We DO NOT charge buyers a handling charge per lot, nor is there VAT added to any sale prices.
Please bid early. In the case of equal bids, the lot will be sold to the person whose bid was received first (unless free bidding in the room equals the top book-bid, although the Auctioneer will try to regulate the bidding in such a way as to avoid this).
 Apart from viewing the lots in person, you can get a better description of any lot, by telephoning or writing.
 (Photocopies are available, at a charge of 15p per copy plus postage.)
Remember the Buy or Bid Sale - bring items along on the night. We will try to sell them for you, at a charge of 10% + 25p (optional insurance 1% extra). Have a look at what’s on offer before and during the main auction. You can buy items outright or place a bid. (Larger lots delivered to our shop are charged £1 per lot entry fee.)
