2 Page 2 PPA Preamble Welcome to our January 2009 auction. We hope that you are all looking forward to a happy and rewarding New Year. First we must apologise. The Christmas New Year period has put us a little behind so this catalogue will reach you a few days later than normal. If you are not sure that your bids will reach us in time please remember that we do accept phone & fax bids. With nearly 4,800 lots this is another bumper auction. We have our usual excellent array of stamps, postal history, postmarks, postal stationery etc from Australia and related areas. First Day Covers and Military mail continue to be popular in our auctions and we have another fine selection of each of these categories in this catalogue. We also have our usual strong selection of Australian printing flaws from Roos & KGV all the way through to the decimals, in fact the QEII variety collector will find much of interest in this catalogue. Varieties always prove to be very popular and our auctions are one of the few places that are able to offer such a wide range of these plated flaws. Most of you will be aware we have always had a very strong range of postmarks and this auction is no exception. There are good offerings of numeral cancels from most states and a strong range of datestamps from all states. Our offering of Victorian Postal Stationery is also much bigger than normal. We also have a nice array of Australian exhibition covers in this auction and our first flight, commemorative postmarks and general postal history take up many pages. We also have an extensive selection of NSW reliefs cancels. These are not expensive but it is unusual to see so many in any auction. There is another fine representation of Fiji, its postal history and postmarks, and some nice Gilberts postmarks and a couple of useful covers from there as well. PNG collectors will find another good selection of postmarks including a useful range of commemorative cancels. British Commonwealth collectors will find some nice GB postal history, a good range of Rhodesia & Canada as well as a wide variety of material from other Commonwealth countries. While we always have quite a range of non-commonwealth material in auctions, this time our Scandinavia is stronger; and for something a little offbeat we are also offering a range of Faroe Islands postmarks. With so many lots there will be plenty to choose from for everybody. Hopefully you will find many items of interest in this catalogue. A number of you have taken our advice and provided us with your collecting interests so that we can provide you with a selection of just those items that are likely to interest you. For most of you this will be the easiest and most efficient way for you to see what we have on offer in your collecting areas. It also ensures that you only receive a catalogue from us when there is something of interest. That saves you time and keeps our costs down. The best way of bidding is to use our secure website However if you don t have access to the internet or you are not comfortable placing bids on our website then, of course, you can still use the printed bidsheet that comes with the catalogue and fax or mail it to us, or you can phone your bids through if you prefer. We will take bids any way they come. Ask us about our Phone Bidding facility. David, Debbie, Freedom, Anita & Bronte Auction 88-10:00am Sunday 18th January 2009

3 Auction 88-10:00am Sunday 18th January 2009 Page 3 HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM OUR CATALOGUE [These notes are offered as a guide to understanding the information given as symbols.] 1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and underlined, the item is illustrated: e.g (The actual location of the illustration is given at the end of the description: e.g. {Page 41.37} is position 37 on page 41.) 2. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot: ** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g. Ω Unused, no gum Piece ( Postmarks lots) Cover or card A Albums and accessories L Literature P Proof S Stamp ( Postmarks lots) or, in the case of used stamps, covers & Postal Stationery a grading of the cancellation: V Neat postmark, leaving most of the stamp design clear F Neat postmark, across at least half of the stamp design G Untidy or indistinct postmark H Heavy or poorly struck postmark 3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from A to D. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to covers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded A is very fine; it has no faults. B items are fine and may have minor imperfections. A C item will exhibit obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated D. Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated A+. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which one would normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition. An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an A-. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may have a previous owner s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an A- or B is a matter of degree. 4. The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading Postmarks. For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter A to D relates to centring. A stamps are very well centred; B stamps are slightly off-centre; C stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the design; D stamps are badly off-centre, with the perforations well into the design. [NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19 th Century American issues. However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus C, and even D, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such issues a B stamp will be above-average and an A stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.] Following the letter A to D is a number 1 to 4. A stamp with all perforations intact is 1. One or two short perfs, or normal rough perforations, will drop the grading to 2. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a 3 grading. A stamp with major perforation faults will be a 4. [NB: A stamp graded A1 is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm. However, for many issues, B2 or even C3 may be normal and quite acceptable.] For lots listed under the sub-headings Postmarks and Ship/Paquebot Markings, this column gives a grading for quality of the strike, and completeness. Quality is graded from A (very fine) to D (poor). Completeness is graded from 1 (complete) to 5 (identifiable only). + is used for superb strikes; - is used for postmarks which are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit short of the mark. 5. The 5th column contains the general description of the of the lot and should be self-evident, however the following notes apply specifically to postmark description. Whenever possible postmarks will be described in full, except that the top portion of a postmark is only spelt out when it differs from the post office name or requires some clarification. Bracketed shaded text within a description indicates that these characters cannot be read, while greyed characters are hard to read or are only partly present, as is the case when part of the postmark is on the edge of a stamp. Very large or small letters are represented by large and small fonts respectively; small fonts are particularly used to indicate the presence of small nylon wheels in the datestamp. The following example illustrates these points: '[POST] OFFICE/ 21DE86 /GARAH'. For postmark lots the condition of the postmark is the most important aspect of our descriptions. Minor defects in the stamp or cover are mentioned only when the value of the item is significant. Naturally, major defects will always be described. 6. The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description. 7. Figures in the right-hand column are our estimate of value. You may bid at, above or below estimate. The reserve price for almost every lot is 80% of estimate. Bids below this level will not be considered, except lots which have an estimate of $5 or less when bids below the reserve may be considered at the auctioneer s discretion. 8. Australian residents will have GST added to the hammer price of all lots. 9. We use the following standardised abbreviations: o.g. original gum opt(d) overprint(ed) d/s datestamp cds circular datestamp h/s handstamp mss manuscript; handwritten ERD earliest recorded date LRD latest recorded date o/o opened-out RLabel registration label M/S(s) miniature sheet(s) PPC picture postcard cnr corner blk block impt imprint mtd mounted provl provisional wmk watermark LDL large dateline (postmarks) SDL small dateline (postmarks) TLC,TRC,LLC,LRC Top Left Cnr, Top Right Cnr, Lower Left Cnr, Lower Right Cnr
