We would like to extend our best wishes for the New Year 2025 and express our thanks for your unwavering support and enthusiasm these past few months. The last of the Brigham estate auctions in October culminated in total realizations surpassing 10 million dollars! The two recent November sales were well received and concluded what was a very exciting year for us and our clients worldwide.

A special Prices Realized digital booklet for the Brigham sales is currently in preparation and will be available exclusively on our website later this month. It will feature highlights from all four auctions. In a nutshell, it is a summary of incredible results, focusing deserved attention to Canadian philately on the world-stage. We hope that the extensive promotion and visibility of these historic sales will kindle interest from potential consignors. Our expertise, decades of experience, award-winning deluxe catalogues and extensive advertising ensure our commitment in achieving solid results.

The two November sales – the second installment of the Denninger collection featuring Canada Part One and a special catalogue dedicated to the 1897 Diamond Jubilee series from the Hobart Collection saw impressive results throughout. Illustrated prices realized reports of both sales can be viewed on our website under “previous auctions”.

As some of you may have noticed, changes are being made to the website. We are still in the process of re-working and re-designing, modernizing its ever-changing interface. Thank you for your patience and of course, your feedback, which is certainly welcome during this process. Once completed and optimized, the new site will allow anyone to navigate our site at a faster pace.

Looking ahead, an impressive series of sales is on the horizon, with five catalogues to appear between February and June 2025. The first two sales of the year will be available on eastern@home platform starting Friday January 24 – presenting the Hobart Collection of New Brunswick & Nova Scotia, Part I, to be sold Friday February 21. A digital flipbook “Auction Preview” of this collection can be viewed on our website. Then on Saturday, the Denninger Collection of Airmails of Newfoundland & Canada will be sold. We invite you to participate in these two remarkable and specialized areas. Both offer ideal fields for study, with many important pieces, ready to add to an existing or would-be gold medal exhibits.
