Following our successful Sales 3013 and 3014 in the spring, H.R. Harmer hit the road for the American Philatelic Society’s StampShow 2017 in Richmond, Virginia. Although our firm has not historically held auctions in conjunction with stamp shows, we felt that Richmond was simply the perfect venue to sell material from the Erivan Haub and Joseph Hackmey Collections. We offered the first part of Mr. Haub’s collection at World Stamp Show NY-2016, and subsequent sales of his European material have since been held through our sister companies in Europe. From scarce Confederate handstamps to world-class strikes of Waterbury fancy cancels, the material in Haub’s collection represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for students of classic postal history. The selections we offered from the Joseph Hackmey Collection of British North America and United States Postal History were no less spectacular, featuring some of the true rarities of early Canada. Both sales proved extremely successful, with active participation both on the show floor and on the internet. Even our loftiest ambitions showed themselves to be much too low. Through the course of less than 300 lots we hammered over $500,000—proof that the market for exceptional philatelic material is still alive and well. It is our hope that our current sales will be met with the same success that has marked the past several years for our firm. As we started in our spring sales, we will again be using a start price for each lot rather than an estimate. Whereas an estimate is oftentimes ambiguous and open-ended, with lots opening at and selling for a fraction of the estimate, a start price allows bidders to know exactly where the bidding for an item will start. For longtime bidders who are used to submitting a bid lower than the low estimate, we must make it explicitly clear that we will not consider bids below the listed start price. From Caspary to Liechtenstein, great collectors put their trust in H.R. Harmer for the last 78 years. If you’re interested in consigning or buying with us, please contact us today and we will provide you with the same high-quality service that our company was founded upon all those decades ago.
