Season’s Greetings

We would like to take this opportunity to wish our customers and friends around the world a very Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah as well to our Jewish customers and colleagues who are presently celebrating the Festival of Lights. And most of all, best wishes for a safe and healthy 2012.

Lotting has finished for our next auction, which will be held in February 2012, with the exact date to be determined as catalogue production gets into full swing in the next two weeks. This will be our largest and most valuable sale yet. In the meantime, consignments for a spring sale can be sent at any time.

Our biggest news of 2011 is that Office Manager Kate Morrow, whom most of you have dealt with, welcomed a son Quinn into the world on September 14th. They are both doing well, as is the proud father who is taking on child care duties on the days when Kate comes to the office.

Consignments Wanted!

Our ninth public auction is presently being lotted. We are always interested in helping collectors sell material as well. With our focus on stamps described with collectors in mind, consigning with Sparks is a way to maximize the return on stamps that no longer receive the attention they once did.

Sparks Auction #9 is planned for late fall of this year. Consignments can be accepted until September 20th for larger collections and bulky items, while smaller lots should be in our hands by September 27th.

See the Consignments link above for more information.

We look forward to hearing from you.
