Welcome to Phoenix Auctions Auction No.34

This is a specialised auction of the Australian King George V Sideface issues. The Georgian Heads are one of the most popular

series of stamps for specialist Australian collectors. This series has many printing plates and flaws, including some spectacular

cracked electros and retouches, a wide variety of watermark errors, imprints and monograms, paper and shade varieties and

combination errors. The last section of the sale contains a wonderful array of Geogian Heads, mainly 1d Reds, on WWI related

postal history.

The Georgian Heads are Australia’s most studied stamps and we will have much of the current literature in this area available for

sale, on the day. The new Brusden White King George V catalogue has now been printed and we now have copies available for

sale. A list of the available books is at the end of this page.

This auction has a number of vendors who we would like to thank, however the 1½d Die I collection from Pericles deserves special

mention. The breadth of material in this collection is amazing for both its rarities and for the research that has been done. The sheer

breadth of cracked electros being offered could justifiably have enabled us to subtitle this as the Cracked Electro Auction.

For collectors of this stamp, and it’s postal history, this is a wonderful opportunity to add to your collection.

My Auction 34 Bidsheet.

How to Get the Most from The Phoenix Website

While quite a number of our clients make full use of the many benefits our website provides, it is

obvious that most do not. So we are taking this opportunity to reintroduce these benefits to you.

The homepage provides an introduction to current auction, or highlights of the next auction as

appropriate. There are menus on the top left to provide different ways of accessing the auction lots.

Within each auction menu there are six submenus:

1. In Lot Order - this provides you with a lot order index to the auction by section headings. Simply

click on the section and it will take you straight to that part of the catalogue where you can see each

lot in order with its full description and all its images. The estimate and starting price and a box for

your bids are also displayed. Wherever the starting price is displayed it is always exactly uptodate.

2. By Country - this provides a cross reference listing by country. You don’t need to go backwards

and forwards from the index to the catalogue listing anymore.

3. By Topic or Theme - the same as by Country but organised by topic or theme, and there are

hundreds of themes.

4. Description Search - this is used for wild card searching through auction lots. This is very

powerful and to get the most out of it please email us with search requirements so that we can set it

up for you.

5. Image Gallery - this displays every image in lot order. It is a great way to browse an auction.

6. Bulk Bid Entry - this enables you to enter your bids as a batch. So when you have worked out

all your bids you can just enter them on this screen rather than finding each lot and entering them

one at a time.

When you sign on with your Client Code and Password the full benefits are opened up to you.

There are 2 entries at the top of the auction submenus. These are:

By Collecting Interest - this shows all the lots which match your collecting interests.

My Image Gallery - this provides you with just the images for the lots you are interested in.

We ask you for your collecting interest so that we can provide you with these quick and easy ways

to view just those lots that are likely to be of interest to you.

Secondly there are new menus on the top right. These will vary from person to person and can

include any of the following:-

1. My Details - this is where you change your details and preferences

2. My Auction Bidsheet - this is the most important screen we have. It appears the instant you

enter a bid and it allows you to manage all you bids from the one screen. It always shows the exact

status of all your bids.

3. My Auction Vendor Lots - When you are a vendor this screen shows all your lots in this auction

with their current status. You always know exactly the situation with your lots.

4. My Mail Register - this shows you the details of every mailing with dates of mailing, registration

numbers, mailing addresses and which invoices are involved. It also tells you whether just an

invoice was sent or whether your lots were sent as well. Now you don’t need to call us to see if your

lots have been mailed. It is all here for you when you need it.

5. My Invoice Register - this provides the details of every invoice and you can drill down to every

lot on every invoice with their full descriptions and images. You always know exactly what is on

every invoice.

6. My Receipt Register - this provides a list of every consignment we have received from you. It

shows you every lot from each consignment with its full description and images, what auction it was

sold in and if it has not been sold what auction it is in. When you have large consignments spread

over multiple auctions it is just the screen to enable you to keep track of everything.

AUSTRALIA | Engraved Issues1001 * 1913-14 Engraved KGV 1d Pale Red tied to a clean neatly typed self-addressed and inscribed S.H. Sheard FDC by ‘RED

HILL/-8.DEC13/ QUEENSLAND’ cds, the adhesive with Weak entry right side [1/ 60] BW #59A(1)y & w. This is the earliestrecorded cover prepared by the now legendary FDC afficionado Samuel H. Sheard.

Debate still continues about the official date of issue. Robson Lowe has always accepted Dec 8 1913, ACSC quibbles by statingDec 9 1913 as “official” date of issue (as does SG) and qualifying this by stating that “a few are known cancelled prior . . .(8.12.13)”. In fact, release date in Queensland, S. Australia and Victoria WAS Dec 8 1913, in NSW and Tasmania on Dec 91913. By any definition this rare cover constitutes the first ever Commonwealth of Australia FDC and rarer than thosepostmarked the following day. $6,000
