Welcome to Sparks Auctions’ Sale 38. This is a very exciting sale for us and holds a wide variety of material from just over 90 consignors. We have never had so many consignments on hand at one time, and recommend that if you would like to consign for one of our future sales to contact us as soon as possible to have your material included in a 2022 auction.
At Sparks Auctions we consider our consignors’ property to be of the utmost importance. Our aim is first and foremost to make sure every consignment, whether it be a single stamp or several cartons, obtain the highest realisations. Our judicious lotting, descriptions, numerous high quality scans and realisations speak for themselves. This is why we are receiving more and more consignments, not only from estates, but also from collectors directly; each consignor considers it very important that their treasures be handled in the most professional and lucrative way.
This is the last of four sales we have planned for 2021, and we are certain there will be something in it for everyone. The many interesting items offered in this sale include:
• The first part of an interesting collection of early Canadian mint multiples
• Nice collection of South African stamps and postal history from an old estate
• Nice collection of mint plus used British West Indies
• Our usual great offerings of worldwide country collections
• Many topical and thematic offerings, some quite extensive

• Collection of Canadian foreign airmail destination covers from the WWII period in several lots
• A superb quality and extensive mint collection of Canada and British Commonwealth broken up in several lots
• Material from the personal files of retired Canada Post designer, Bernard J. Reilander

All of our sales are conducted in Canadian dollars, and our buyer’s premium remains at an industry low of 17%.
