Auction Update Review
Week 4, Spring 2010
Two Auctions Archived through January 30, 2010
There were two sales archived this week. January anymore feels like August: a few events punctuated with drama. That drama has been provided this week by a sale we learned of only after it ended Friday afternoon. It was an extremely important sale of postal history intermixed with impressive letters and some reasonably good books.
The sale was conducted by Spink-Shreves in New York and they have every reason to feel good about the exceptional results achieved on the postal material. It's their specialty. They have an audience and reached it. The weakest part of the sale was the 160 lots of books and miscellaneous material that is not expected in a postal sale. Had we known of it we would have publicized the event and probably contributed to the outcome.
The sale has been added to the calendar.
