Session II (Friday, October 4th – 4pm Pacific Time): Leading off the stamp auction are a
number of high-powered USA singles, including two that are missing from all but a few of the
most advanced collections. Lot 853, estimated at $75,000 is a fault free graded 75 example of the
1¢ 1851, Type I (Scott 5), fewer than 100 are known to exist. Of these, almost all are faulty. This
beauty catalogs in SMQ for a whopping $125,000! Also featured is Lot 1021, estimated at $50,000.
It is hands-down, one of the nicest examples of the 24¢ 1869 Inverted Error you’ll hope to see. It
is very nicely centered, with an attractive, light cancel. The stamp, with a PSE grade of 70 is
identified as #55, with only 83 known.
But we don’t just have world-class rarities, other highlights include everything from an
extremely fine mint block of the $1 Trans-Mississippi (Lot 1199), to a striking example of the
seldom-seen 1877 Balloon Mail semi-official (Lot 1441), and even a newly discovered doubleimpression error on a pair of the 20¢ Marshall stamp of the Prominent Americans (Lot1750).

In Essays & Proofs you’ll find a wealth of unusual items, including unadopted designs for an 8¢
Zeppelin (Lot 1831), and two additional unaccepted designs for 50¢ 1933 Century of Progress
Zeppelins (Lots 1832 and 1833)!

Session IV (Sunday, October 6th – 11am Pacific Time): In Foreign stamps, we’re pleased to offer a
complete set of the RARE and beautiful “Compania Colombiana de Navegacion Aera” issues, of
which no more than 15 sets can ever be assembled (since there are only 15 known of Scott C7).

And then there are the collections and large lots. While nothing can substitute for personally
getting elbow deep in these boxes, I’d like to at least mention that a couple of old Tyme Hoards are
found here, such as Lot 4457; a stock book chock full of material to keep you out of trouble for
some time, and Lot 4461, a disorganized treasure hunter’s dream. There are many more large lots
with a great deal of potential, but we’ll let you find them!
