non-philatelic section in every stamp sale, and an annual dedicated Collectables Auction, there will
be a section like this appearing approximately quarterly. There will still be some non-stamp lots in the
normal stamp auctions.
      Ü     Anybody not interested in the following Collectables section can safely leave the auction
room (to look at the Buy or Bid Sale, or go upstairs to the bar). There will be a short break at the end
of the non-philatelic lots, during which we will give warning of the resumption of stamp lots.
