The offering of 1897 Jubilees and other Victorian issues continues the Sparks Auctions trend of offering more quantity and quality with every auction. Edwards, Québecs, especially Admirals and later issues through George VI will help collectors fill in gaps in their collections. Queen Elizabeth era stamps start in spectacular fashion with a block of the Inverted Seaway. The later varieties and errors are very very strong indeed. The lots of back of the book stamps will excite many with the opportunity to buy 5-hole OHMS perfins, and rare revenues including overprint varieties. British North America offers rarities such as the $1 British Columbia, PEI #2, Newfoundland classics and ending with the spectacular block of the inverted overprint on the Halifax airmail.

British Commonwealth is headlined by the full pane of the Great Britain 1883 6d on 6d overprint. Interesting and scarce items and a few nice collections are found throughout this section. The worldwide section offers 50 lots of USA as well as many lovely items, complete sets and unusual varieties not often found. Postal History offers many lots as well as selected individual items such as a ten penny Cartier with a circular dated postmark and the very scarce Officially Sealed on blue paper. Lots and collections again fill our 32 bookcases. This auction the number which are in the higher price ranges is increased; while we still offer budget-priced cartons of fun. Viewing will allow interested buyers to see the full value.
