Public Auction 135We have pleasure in presenting our November Public Auction with 1150 lots going under the hammer at our ever popular Lingfield ParkRacecourse venue. Despite the increasingly global and virtual nature of today’s stamp market, there is still a feeling at this time of year (withthe first signs of ‘mists and mellow fruitfulness’ etc) of the beginning of the auction ‘season’. This sale represents an opportunity for you toparticipate in an authentic, traditional public auction; always with well over 100 attendees, we have genuine ‘Room’ lots (1 to 25, a glorious‘bun fight’, a little like the first day of the Harrods’ sale but with more class!), around 150 boxes or cartons (many from genuine houseclearances), all world, Commonwealth and one country collections (particularly useful China, Falklands, French Colonies, India and States,Japan, Netherlands, Sarawak and Spain), with strong sections of Great Britain and Commonwealth singles and sets.

Our usual strong Great Britain section includes an excellent choice of 1d blacks; noted a plate 2 Imprimatur, a used block of 4 plate 6 andplate 7 with the scarce ‘Cloverleaf’ Inspector’s mark, whilst lot 530 - 1d black plate 11 with red m/cross (RPS Cert) is one of the highlights(fewer than 30 recorded examples). Another major rarity is lot 616 a mint example of 10/- SG 128 (PTS Cert), with mint examples of £5orange and 2/- brown, also 10/- SG 135 plus both £1’s SG 129 and 132 o/pt Specimen. From the later period, an unusual item to draw toyour attention is lot 684, Ed VII 7d Somerset House with First Day cancel, unknown (so far as we know) on cover, also a PUC mint 2 1/2dinverted and superb u/m DLR 10/- bright blue Seahorse [RPS Cert].

With the continued strength of the Commonwealth market, we are pleased to offer several notable rarities. From Australia Lot 814 - amint vertical pair of the 1927 Parliament issue imperf between (one of only 22 such pairs) and lot 816 - a used strip of 4 1952 2/6d with‘Crown to left of CA’ (Cat £22,000). Lots 842/3 are mint vertical pairs of the 1916 British Levant Salonika 1/2d and 6d o/pts, each showingone stamp with o/pt omitted and lot 854, a fine set of the 1897 Canada Jubilee imperforate proofs to $5. Lots 1030 and 1031 are the 2 keymint stamps from Nauru, the Walerlow 5/- [u/m] and 10/- indigo blue (SG 18 cat £11,000), with lot 1070, Papua 1907 2/6d SG 45, the veryscarce vertical wmk on thick paper in used pair (cat £19,000+), another heavyweight item.

I have recently returned from a trip to the American Philatelic Society Exhibition in Hartford, Connecticut. A successful buying trip followedby a few days in the Adirondack Mountains (any of you interested in hiking, climbing or skiing, I thoroughly recommend this area!). Oneof the auctions I covered had one particularly noteworthy [not to say startling] realisation. If you turn to the end of the Bechuanalandsection of your SG Part 1 catalogue you will see SG F2, the 1918 £5 on 1/- green. A u/m example of this stamp, found apparently in amixed lot (why do these things never happen to me?) was in the sale with an estimate of $15,000 to $20,000. I had a bid of $22,000 on it.There are apparently only 3 recorded examples [2 mint, one postally used]. I was a tad apprehensive when the item came up but I needn’thave been; 2 rival phone bidders took it up to $80,000 plus (15%) premium!

Viewing for this sale will be at the Strand Stamp Fair (Bourse) [see advert in catalogue] on October 10th and also November 14th and wehope to see as many of you as possible on the 16th, on the day of the sale!

As ever, happy bidding and good luck!

Clause 2

a) The bidding and advances shall be regulated by and at the absolute discretion of the auctioneer and he shall have the right to refuse any bid or bids. NOTE.

If the purchaser of any lot fails to comply with any such requirement, the auctioneer may put up again and re-sell the lot; if upon such resale a lower price isobtained than was first obtained on the first sale the purchaser in default on the first sale shall make good the difference in price and expense of resale which shall become a debt due fromhim.c) Where an agent purchases on behalf of an undisclosed client such agent shall be personally liable for payment of the purchase money to the auctioneer and for safe delivery of the lotsto the said client.

If upon such resale a lower price is obtained than was first obtained on the first sale the purchaser in default on the first sale shall make good the differencein price and expense of resale which shall become a debt due from him.c) Interest shall be payable by the purchaser on any overdue account, the rate to be specified by each individual auction for which AH Baldwin and Sons Ltd trading as Apex Philatelic Auctionscurrently levy a rate of 2% compound per calendar month, for each month or part month overdue following 30 days from the date of sale.

Clause 5

a) Each lot is sold as (1) GENUINE unless otherwise described in the sale catalogue or by the auctioneer and (2) correctly described (see also Clause 5f). The date of any certificate formingpart of the description of any lot may be included in the description.b) A purchaser shall be at liberty to reject any lot if he (i) gives the auctioneer written notice of intention to question the genuineness or, as the case may be, the accuracy of the descriptionof the lot within 7 days (or in the case of any overseas purchaser to be in the auctioneer's hands within 10 days) from the date of sale AND (ii) proves that the lot is not genuine or was incorrectlydescribed; AND (iii) returns to the auctioneer within 30 days from the date of sale, the lot in the same condition as it was at the time of sale; provided that the auctioneer may, at his absolute discretion, onreceiving a request in writing from the purchaser, extend for a reasonable period the time for the return of the lot, to enable it to be submitted to an agreed expert or expert committee.NOTE: The onus of proving a lot to be not genuine, or incorrectly described, is on the purchaser. The inability of a recognized expert or expert committee to express a definite opinion shallserve to discharge the onus on the purchaser and shall be a ground for rejecting the lot concerned.c) Where a lot has been submitted for expert opinion, all costs of such an opinion shall be paid by the person who retained the item or items to which that opinion relates.d) Where the purchaser of a lot discharges the onus and acts in accordance with sub clause (b) of this clause, the auctioneer shall rescind the sale and repay to the purchaser the purchasemoney paid by him in respect of the lot.e) No lot shall be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in water, marked by an expert or expert committee, or treated by any other process, unless the auctioneer'spermission to subject the lot to such immersion, marking or treatment, has first been obtained in writing. (Note. Many Continental experts now mark forged stamps; therefore it is essentialfor permission to be obtained from auctioneers BEFORE submitting to these experts.)f) If any lot listed under 'collections or various' or stated to comprise or contain a collection, issues, or stamps which are undescribed shall be put up for sale, not subject to rejection and shallbe taken by the purchaser with all (if any) faults, lack of genuineness and errors of description and numbers of stamps in the lot and the purchaser shall have no right to reject the lot; exceptthat, notwithstanding the provisions of this sub clause, where before a sale a person intending to bid at the sale gives notice in writing to, and satisfies the auctioneer that any such lot containsany item or items not described in the sale catalogue, and that person specifically describes that item or those items shall, as between the auctioneer and that person, be taken to form partof the description of the lot for the purposes of sub clauses (a), (b) and (d) of this clause.g) No lot illustrated in the catalogue shall be rejected on the ground of centering, cancellation, margins, perforation or other characteristics clearly apparent from the illustration.h) Lots offered 'as is' or 'offered on their merits' may contain items that are not genuine and, therefore, may not be returned for any reason. Neither can extensions be granted on them.

Clause 6

The respective rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed and interpreted by English Law and the buyer hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
