Over
the past 10 years since our website started, we have had the privilege
of reviewing a number of outstanding Canadian stamp collections. The
names are well known in the stamp community and, as we reviewed them,
it made us realize how international the interest in our stamps is.
For this we are most fortunate. We plan to keep this report up to date
as we review other “name” collections appearing at future
auctions. Click on the auction of your choice and enjoy the achievements
of some of the giants of our hobby.

Old
Auction Catalogues
Of Name Collections Wanted
Some of these collections
appeared at auction many years ago. Even though they are old, they may
be of special interest when they contain outstanding single copies of
rare stamps or blocks and other multiples that have since been broken
up.
If
any of you, our viewers, have copies of old auction catalogues that
feature other outstanding “name” collections that you would
be willing to lend to us for a week or two, we would be more than pleased
to use your catalogues to do a write up of that collection and thank
you for your help. Just let us know by clicking
on this link or the “Please Contact Us” on our Home
Page and send us a message. We thank you in advance.
