The

Caspary

Europeans -

Part

One

By Anonymous Having Sale Eleven at the beauty was Alfred

looked - the , rarity Caspary

a t the wonderful group of stamps that comprised this Caspary first portion of the European issues - and having marvelled , and on occasions uniqueness, I asked myself, " Surel y Europ e 's favorite philatelic pursuit?"

How ever I took the opportunity to read the various Forewords to the prev ious ten auctions and found such phrase s as "Alfre d H . Caspary had a particular fondness for so-and-s Âˇo" , "he must have had a particular fondness for so-and-so" , "he liked U.S. next to so-and-so ", "the lat e Alfred H . Caspary was par6cularl y fond of so-and-so", " Mr . Caspary's love for so-and-so was certainly as great (as the German States) ", "the so-and -so issues held a spell over him" , "many will ponder over which was any standard , be highly of the philatelic world doubt, this magnificent

his best (collection)" , "his so-and-so collection must, b y considered ", and I wondered to myself how these experts could have erred so badly when, without a shadow of a group of Europeans was so obviously his first love.

It seemed impossible to me that such superb Swis s, magnificent Moldavias , beautiful Belgium , superior Scandinavia, fascinating France and Co lonies , delight ful Danish West Indies, etc. could have been gotten together by anyone who did not feel that thes e Europeans were the " pieces-de-resistance " of philately , or as our children would say " the most" . And then I thought again, "Could these erudite philatelists all be wrong?" and if not , and as I certainly was not in error in my views, what could be the answer . And then the solution, in all its simpl icit y d aw n ed upon me! Alfred Caspary did not have an extreme fondness , a first love, a special liking for any particular country or group or issues: HE SIMPL Y LOVED CLASSIC STAMPS! For this reason I refrain , with difficult y indeed, from pointing out to th e fortunate possessors of this catalogue that I feel thi s European section is the best of all the Caspary auctions and, for various reasons, prefer to sign myself as "Anonymous".
