Welcome to our weekly online stamp auction! We have 200+ lots ending every Sunday open for bidding from worldwide collections to US First Day Covers and some of everything in between.
Lots are available for viewing in our offices and please let us know if you need more photos, more information about a lot, or would like to submit bids directly to us by phone, email or mail.
All lots will sell ending on Sunday afternoon on a staggered basis (the time will count down to 0) and a late bid will extend the time for that lot. If you bid on an item in the last few minutes it will extend bidding on that lot by 1 minute to try and minimize last-second sniping and also balance against overly extending bidding too long.

We have a full service bricks and mortar stamp store in Richmond, Virginia (5317A Lakeside Ave) so give us a call or email if you plan to be in the area and would like to stop by! 1 British Commonwealths Royalty Topical Collection, British Commonwealths Royalty Topical Collection, Mint NH in stockbook 2 Canada Stamps Mint NH in glassines, mostly 20th ce Canada Stamps Mint NH in glassines, mostly 20th century with identifications, some higher denominations, includes a few Used 3 Worldwide Stamps 100+ Souvenir Sheets Mint and Use Worldwide Stamps 100+ Souvenir Sheets Mint and Used with a lot of topical sheets throughout 4 Germany Stamps group of two German Zeppelin items, Germany Stamps group of two German Zeppelin items, one postcard with canceled stamp, and one cover with appropriate markings 5 Germany OSS Anti-Hitler Stamps World War II fakes Germany OSS Anti-Hitler Stamps World War II fakes & bogus issues with skull showing through 6 Germany Stamps group of twelve Zeppelin related Ci Germany Stamps group of twelve Zeppelin related Cinderellas, with duplication in mixed condition 7 1947 Camp Post Stamps Mint Regensburg issues for d 1947 Camp Post Stamps Mint Regensburg issues for displaced Ukranians, plus 2 Latvia Hanau Camp post stamps Used 8 WWII British OSS Stamp Issues, Gering behind bars, WWII British OSS Stamp Issues, Gering behind bars, Himmler Ties up a civilian, in mixed condition 9 Germany Stamps group of twelve Third Reich era Cin Germany Stamps group of twelve Third Reich era Cinderellas, with duplication in mixed condition 10 Worldwide Stamps 1840s-1940 in Scott International Worldwide Stamps 1840s-1940 in Scott International Junior Album, 1,000+ mint hinged and used stamps, good variety of countries represented 11 Worldwide Stamps A-Z Collection in several albums, Worldwide Stamps A-Z Collection in several albums, plus some remainder/childhood albums, 2,000+ stamps throughout 2 heavy bankers boxes 12 Worldwide & US Stamps mostly in glassine s& bags s Worldwide & US Stamps mostly in glassine s& bags sorted by country, plus some loose covers and other odds and ends in bankers box 13 US Stamps FACE VALUE $800+ Mint NH in bankers box US Stamps FACE VALUE $800+ Mint NH in bankers box -
