FA: Weeda Stamps Weekly Bidboard Auction -- closing September 13
WEEDA STAMPS (VANCOUVER) WEEKLY BIDBOARD AUCTION
Closing 12:30 p.m., Saturday, September 13, 2003 Every week, Weeda Stamps* of Vancouver, British Columbia offers 150 lots of Canada and worldwide stamps, postal history, collections, and accumulations in its bidboard auction. I help out the owner, Beverly Fox, by listing some highlights from her auctions here on r.c.s.m. I'm a bit late this week, but that means you can see how the initial bidding is going. I always try to find lots which interest me personally, never a very tough job, and this week was especially easy: two quartettes of lower-value Canada Admirals, and a high-value single. Almost an entire squadron! Here are the beautiful details: Lot #17: http://www.weeda.com/stampimages/17.jpg -- Canada #105, 107, 109, 110. MNH Admirals Lot #18: http://www.weeda.com/stampimages/18.jpg -- Canada #106, 108, 114, 115. Fine MNH Admirals. 1911-1925 Lot # 19: http://www.weeda.com/stampimages/19.jpg -- Canada #122. VF MNH 1923 $1 Admiral I'll depart from my usual practice of listing three lots, and take you back a few years, to the Small Queens. Lot #8 this week consists of a dozen Canada Small Queens, 1c and 3c values. Six of one and a half dozen of the other, used with fancy cancels. That's a nice target cancel! I can easily envision two album pages featuring these stamps: http://www.weeda.com/stampimages/8.jpg Except for large items such as collections, box lots and accumulations, most of Weeda's auction lots are illustrated. For the full list, as well as prices realized in the previous four auctions, go to the Weeda Stamps web site at http://www.weeda.com. BIDS, IN CANADIAN DOLLARS, CAN BE PLACED IN PERSON, BY TELEPHONE, OR ON-LINE UNTIL 12:30 P.M. PDT ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2003. A note about "prices realized": Only rarely does bidding in philatelic auctions reach the estimated values. If you study the listings and the prices realized, you'll see that bargains are waiting for any collector. It is common for expensive and even rare stamps, covers and other philatelic items to sell in auctions for as little as 10% or 20% of the estimate. Even if you won't be bidding, check out these other features on the Weeda web site: -- The Dutch Auction http://www.weeda.com/dutch.cfm -- Beverly's Best Buys http://www.weeda.com/classifieds.cfm -- The Fox Tales Newsletter http://www.weeda.com/news.cfm Need a clock? Look at the antique clocks that Beverly is advertising for one of her customers: http://www.weeda.com/details.cfm?id=301. One is an Ingraham clock! No relation, unfortunately! Bob Ingraham ----- * Weeda Stamps is owned and operated by Beverly Fox. Here's a recent photograph of her, taken in her stamp shop at 525 Seymour Street in Vancouver: http://www.ingraham.ca/bob/beverly1.jpg.
