We are very pleased to bring you our first sale of 2012. This auction includes the properties of almost 100 vendors, many of whom have sold through us on multiple occasions.
There are many dozens of well-developed collections, both in the miscellaneous section and under specific countries. The Australia includes two feature offerings: "Kangaroo Frankings" formed by our own Matt Hancock; and "WWI Military Envelopes" formed by Barry Scott of Auckland.
Whether you collect stamps, postal history, postal stationery, revenues, ephemera, postcards etc, we expect you will find much to captivate you in this wide-ranging sale.

“I must give credit to Prestige Philately
for devoting entire sales to material I’d have
guessed would bomb or perform rather poorly, yet turns
out very well…The Thailand collection of Adelaide
academic Len Colgan was offered on June 24…Some
of the realisations amazed me, and credit to Prestige
for taking on such a collection AND getting for the
vendor a far better price than any other firm on earth
would have garnered…Good to see material from
unusual places getting strong results, when offered
lotted up carefully and promoted widely…”
