Collectors, dealers and consignors expect the best from Sparks Auctions.
We are proud to report that collections as well as top quality single stamps have been coming in at a rate which has overwhelmed our storage space. In excess of 320 feet (100 meters) of shelf space is filled with albums, stock books and cartons of stamps.
When we began lotting in August we planned a late Fall Auction, but soon realized that scheduling a sale even in early December would result in intense deadline pressure, with the likelihood that we may unnecessarily compromise our policy of offering the best material.
We have therefore set the date of Auction #3 for mid-January. An extended schedule for producing the catalogue, advertising and making all other preparations will guarantee a smooth-running sale, and we will not have a conflict with the busy holiday season in December.
Catalogue preparation will be in full flight next week, with the expectation that mailing will be possible in early December. We will notify customers through our website when shipping has begun.
There are many lots in Auction Three worth featuring and these descriptions will be featured on our website and elsewhere for many weeks prior to the auction.
