Contrary to how the book reads, I have noticed curious behaviours at stamp auctions, If the stamp resides in a Hagner. and is medium to expensively priced, then tongs are very much in evidence. If however the stamp resides in a Chinese stock book, then somehow this gives viewers the licence to tuck in with greasy dirty fingers. If one has been collecting and auction viewing for some years, the badge of honour for these members, is noticed by the casual offhand way the book or page is handled, if nothing in the contents meets the marque of the viewer, then the book is tossed back into the box in a very offhand manner, discharged in a very demeening fashion, creasing the glassine pages and goodness knows what with the stamps. These very self centred and pompous asses have to show the adjacent plebs just how experienced they are, and who are not to be messed with. I must call a stop here, or I may get started on the very irritating "auction jostle" "rodney" "Postmark Paris", a delicate combination of narrative reminiscences and exquisitely diminutive images. |
