Welcome to our September Public Sale. We are aiming to have the public sales with fewer lots but better ones as nobody wants to sit in the room whilst Internet bidders contemplate their bids. Alternate months will be postal and internet timed sales these will have more lots including sets and singles.

The October sale will be a little later in the month due to Stampex held this year from 29th September to 2nd October. We will be on our usual G1 stand and will have much new material for sale. We can of course take material for auction and are of course happy to buy. Lesley John and staff
