Yes. Our auctions always include hundreds of large lots including collections, accumulations, box lots, dealer's stocks, and mixtures. These lots can be found in two sections of each catalogue: the Miscellaneous section at the beginning of the catalogue, and the Caboose section at the end.

Yes. Every sale includes thousands of small lots of stamps and postal history from around the world.

Every lot in the auction is listed with either a catalogue value or an estimated value.

Catalogue values: Throughout the auction, lots are listed with their current Scott catalogue values unless otherwise noted. You decide what percentage of the catalogue value you want to bid.

Estimated values: Some lots are listed with estimated values (i.e. Est 50.00), which indicate what we believe the lots are actually worth after taking things like catalogue value, condition, and demand into consideration. We have found that estimated lots usually sell for between 70% and 125% of the estimates. Bids under 70% of the estimate seem to stand a reduced chance of success.

Yes. Every effort is made to insure that our lot descriptions are complete and correct, but if we make a mistake you can return the lot for a full and prompt refund.
