(06) 364 8270

Dear Collector With our big International auctions all ready to take place in a week’s time everyone is busy making sure preparations are just right. A surprising amount of both time and energy goes into examining and selection of vendor’s pieces, lotting, proof reading and later checking photos, before the catalogues are ready to send out. You should have yours by now, if not and you want one let me know quickly. Again this newsletter has concentrated on keeping our prices down while trying to keep your interest primed. We start with a few nice collections along with another nice selection of Full Face Queens. Our British and Commonwealth material hopefully holds lots of attention grabbing material and I hope you take a few minutes to look over the selection. As always all items are listed in New Zealand dollars. For NZ stamp purchases 15% GST is already included in our buy now price, whilst for Overseas Buyers the GST content will be deducted from these prices.

Postage and Packaging is Free
