loads—plus a list of our entire line of philatelic literature.

Collectors have come to expect Knowledge, Integrity and Ser-

vice from us for over 25 years. They have made us North America's

leading source for China and Asian philatelic material. This kind

of excellence is in every segment of our operations:

• FANTASTIC QUARTERLY PUBLIC AUCTIONS of-

fering our bidders full color catalogs. You'll really like the expert

and detailed attention to descriptions and lotting. Our auction

catalogs are true keepsakes—each a specialized handbook to refer

to in the future.

• OUR RENOWNED MAIL SALES —now including Asian

and U.S./Worldwide Sales many times a year! Each sale features

thousands of interesting lots—from $20 up to $2,000. Included

in these sales are items that don't normally qualify as lots for our

public auctions: post-World War II sets, unusual cancels, varieties,

classics, and even postal history.

• OUR FULL CHINA/ASIA & SELECTED WORLDWIDE

STOCK is covered in our large price lists—which may be down-

loaded free on our website.

Are You Selling?

We're the world's most competitive buyers.

Our buyers are purchasing not only Asian philately, but phila-

telic properties of every kind from all over the world!

What do you have for sale right now? You'll appreciate the

fair and forthright manner in which your material is handled

plus the distribution of our auction/mail sale catalogs to our

worldwide customer base. Sell to us in three ways: 1) Consign

to one of our auctions or mail sales; 2) Sell to us outright. We

pay full market value; 3) Let us arrange to sell your collection

to an enthusiastic buyer via Private Treaty. Call us!
