Tentative Auction Schedule For 2024-2025

Below is our tentative schedule for the weekly auction for 2024. Please note that this is just an approximate schedule, as some sales may require more time to assemble and lot than originally anticipated. Josh, Will and I will have a much better idea of what will be required for a particular theme as we get to working on it, but the schedule below will give you a good idea of what is to come, so you can plan, and know when to send us material if you are wishing to sell.

Each week, we will aim for approximately 500 lots, and the auctions will be broken down into five sections as follows:

  1. The first 300 lots will be composed of general post-1960 or pre-1960 lower value worldwide mint and used from a variety of countries, or just 1-3 countries, depending on how in-depth the collections being broken down are. Typically, these will be straightforward Scott, or Gibbons listings, and will not include specialized varieties. 
  2. An in-depth specialized theme from Canada, which will take one issue, part of an issue or one to 3 years of commemorative issues and present it in exhaustive depth.
  3. Some general pre-1953 higher value Canada.
  4. Another in-depth specialized theme from a selected foreign country, which will present a comparable level of detail to the Canadian specialized theme.
  5. A small section of general pre-1960 higher value worldwide mint and used.
  6. A small selection of consignments that do not necessarily fall into the above. 

The schedule we intend to follow is thus:
