No Estimate

Welcome to our second online timed auction, which we've called our "Collectors' Auction" as most lots are suitable for collectors - single items, covers, small collections, and cheaper lots.


The sale is now live and you can bid on any lots. At 12 Noon on Tuesday 20 July the first lot will end, the next thirty seconds later, another thirty seconds after that, and so on until about 10:00pm.

To avoid confusion with our live auction, the first lot number in this sale is 500.
