"$" "$"$!+ $ )! SALE 5910 | TUESDAY 1ST ҃) " +Ƒ OCTOBER ƑƏƐƖ Stamps & Postal History of the World INTRODUCTION September promises to be a busy time for Stanley Gibbons Auctions. Our bi-annual attendance at Stampex (11th -14th September) will be shortly followed by the James Podger Collection of Cayman Islands going under the hammer on September 24th. Following on from this our latest Stamps & Postal History of the World Auction will take place. This Auction has items to suit all budgets and all collecting interests. From entire Collections to the most specialised of material, we think there is something for everyone. One of my favorite items has to be the stunning Tonga 7½d Inverted head featured on the front cover. Rarely offered, this item should warrant consideration for any advanced collection. The imperforate Cyprus 30pa block of 4 (line perforated at sides) is a particularly striking, if not unusual item, and its realisation should be interesting. Smaller lots from this Auction will be available to view at Stampex; we will be positioned in a new location opposite the Stanley Gibbons retail stand on the ‘Village Green’. If you are interested in selling part or all of your collection or would like to discuss or view items from forthcoming sales, we look forward to meeting you there.
