Auction #15 Catalogue Mailing

Covers

The print catalogues for this sale are finally in the mail. There were multiple difficulties with our longstanding printer, resulting in late delivery to our offices, an initial shipment of overweight catalogues that required additional postage to mail, and a final shipment that was trimmed to qualify for the First Class mail rate but was therefore delayed even further while this was done.

If you are waiting to receive your catalogue before placing bids, please check out the PDF versions of the catalogue which are here on the website (and have been since July 22nd), or view the sale on Stamp Auction Network. If there is any concern about mailed bidsheets reaching us in time, remember that bids can be placed through SAN, by e-mail, by fax or by phone as well.
