Switzerland and the Entire World
In their 24 to 27 November 2008 international stamp auction Rapp will live up to that tradition. Their single lot offer abounds with selected high-quality rarities from all periods and areas of postal history and philately. In addition they will again be offering an unparalleled range of huge, extremely valuable collections including several award-winning exhibition collections.
The auction presents what certainly is the best offer of Swiss stamps in decades anywhere. The often unique items from the Pilatus and Genève collections, a breathtaking range of other classical and modern Swiss rarities, and the very many sizeable quality collections that will be offered make it very likely that the Switzerland section of the auction alone will realize a total of more than 5 million Euros.
Probably twice that sum is to be expected from the sale of the many valuable non-Swiss stamps and collections in the same auction. This author was kindly given the opportunity to personally inspect much of that material in detail well in advance. The scope, value and not least the quality of the auction items and collections are truly impressive. No matter what period or area of postal history, philately and related topics, such as aviation or ballooning history, you`re interested in as a collector or a professional dealer, make sure (as this author will) you receive the two-volume Rapp auction catalogue in time for careful inspection and decision-making – or just for the fun of seeing many impressive collections and quite extraordinary single items that are not very likely to be seen again in the near future.
