Phoenix Auctions - Saturday 31st March 2012

Page 3

Welcome to Phoenix Auctions No.12 Welcome to our 3rd & 4th auctions for 2012.

Yes our box lot auction was very successful so we have scheduled another one for 30th March followed by this auction on Saturday 31st March.

This is the last time we are mailing our box lot auction catalogue with our normal catalogues, so take the time to read our box lot auction to see if you would like to receive them in the future.

Remember, in future, you will only receive our box lot auction catalogues if you have requested to receive them.

2012 will be very busy year with further full auctions already scheduled for April and June. We are therefore very pleased to announce that Matt Hancock has joined us. For those who don't know him, he comes with a significant amount of describing experience and he will help ensure that our vendor consignments are processed in a timely manner. He is also an APTA member.

We are planning to do a bit more travelling this year and David will be attending Canberra Stampshow 2012. He can be contacted on 0423 039 931 if you would like to schedule a meeting with him. Naturally he will be very pleased to accept vendor consignments while he is there.

Canberra Stampshow 2012 is being held at the Hellenic Club of Canberra, Matilda Street, Woden, ACT. The show starts on Friday 16th March and finishes on Sunday 18th March. The Canberra Philatelic Society conducts a very good show and we would encourage everyone who can to attend.

We are also planning to attend The Philatelic Society of Western Australia's Centennial Exhibition in Perth in May. More details will be provided in our April catalogue.

Auction 12 is our usual large & diverse auction. We thought that by moving the box lots to their own auction we would be able to make our auctions a little smaller, however we still have over 2,000 lots in this auction.

The first section of the catalogue has 653 lots of non-Australia, PPCS, coins, ephemera etc.

Among the more interesting are three Ceylon Telegraph Stamp proofs (#94), a set of 8 'BERLIN' ovpts in black on Berlin Airlift cvrs (#215), an 1839 Charles Whiting essay (#280). Also within the GB section are some very fine stamps including, a spectacular 9d straw pane of 20 overprinted 'SPECIMEN' (#311), a very rare £1 brown-lilac Specimen (#315), a mint £5 orange (#319) and one mint & two used £1 Seahorses (#337-9). Within Southern Africa we have a nice mint 1d PB Cape triangle (#604), a group of Mafeking Siege stamps (#609-12) and a South Africa £1 pale olivegreen & red (#614).

The second section of the catalogue has 729 lots of Australian Colonies/States and Roos and KGV Heads. Some of the highlights are a 1d Sydney View on ribbed paper (#660), a unique Queensland 1898 4d proof of colour block of 6 (#725), a Tasmania 1855 6d dull lilac proof (#777), a 1917 separated and overprinted 1½d Reply Card (#788), an extraordinary 1884 Telegraph Envelope with an apparently unique 2/- TO PAY as well as an IOU accepted by the Telegraph messenger (#827).

We continue with third selection from Ken Smithies' Victorian Postmark collection (#832-906 group). In our past auctions these have been very popular with much fierce competition and we are confident this selection will be no different.

Page 4 Phoenix Auctions - Saturday 31st March 2012 We then have another excellent group of Roos with a very fine mint 1st wmk £2 (#1025), a very rare 2nd wmk 1/- JBC monogram single (#1039), 3rd wmk 2/- brown JBC & CA monogram singles (#1090-1) and an MUH Sm Mult £2 (#1160). In the KGV lots there is an ½d green cracked SW corner (#1215), a 1d rose-pink rough paper mint block of 4 (#1232) and a CofA 1d green reversed wmk (#1369). Amongst the many covers is a very rare Large Mult ½d thin fraction on cover.

Some of the standout items of the third section are a group of plate number blocks including 1950 2d scarlet plate '2' block of 12 (#1431), 1956 2/- Crocodile plate '9' block of 4 (#1439), 1953 3d green plate '-1-' block of 12 (#1448) and 1962 2d brown plate '3' block of 8 (#1456). There are a range of missing colours including 1965 Hargrave missing purple (#1477), 1969 5c Xmas missing yellow (#1527), 1972 7c Xmas missing brown (#1534), 1974 30c Possum missing red (#1540), 1974 7c Golf missing black (#1541) and a 1979 20c Train missing grey-green (#1559).

The Australian Territories include such sought after items as a Nauru marginal mint 5/- Waterlow Seahorse (#1886), seven £1 NWPI, a very rare 1st wmk 5/- Roo NWPI use at Nauru (#1898), a rare 1d rosine Die II perf 'OS" NWPI (#1925) and a lovely £5 Bulolo (#1941).

There is quite an array of Australian Postal Stationery include quite a number of large collections.

As you would expect we have a large selection of postal history with rare usages, military, flight covers including a 1920 Herald Aerial Delivery cover (#1786) and a 1939 Guba cover (#1810) etc.

Amongst the crash covers is a rare 1952 Venlo cover (#1816).

Unfortunately our ever increasing costs have forced us to raise our Buyers’ Commission by a minimal 1% to 15% (+GST). This is the first increase in our fees since we began over 3 years ago and we continue to charge one of the lowest commissions of any major auction house.

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 see each lot in order withits 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 - 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.

Firstly there are 2 new 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 12 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 12 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 addreses and which invoices are involved. It also tells you whther just an invoice was sent or whether your lots were sent as well. Now you don’t need to call us to see if you 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.

My Auction 12 Bidsheet.

As we said earlier My Auction 12 Bidsheet is the most important part of the website when you have placed bids in the auction, because it provides everything you need to mamage your bidding.

With this screen you can change your bids, add limits to ensure you don’t overspend, enter Credit Card details or other special instructions.

The lot is highlighted when you have the top bid so it is easy to see the current situation with your bids.

As well as being able to modify your bids there is a +5% button which increases your bid to 5% above the current starting price. At the bottom of this webpage there is also a field to gobally increase all your bids by any percentage amount. Very useful when your bids are all way below the starting price or you want to give yourself that extra level of safety.

The website is there to help you get the most when dealing with Phoenix Auctions. We hope you take a little time to use it to your advantage. Remember that we are always happy to help if you have a problem or questions.

Terms and Conditions: These are found on the rear of your printed bidsheet and on the Phoenix website. Buyer’s commission is 15% ( plus GST.)

Firstly, we have the lot number. If it has a P after the lot number then ithe lots is illustrated in the catalogue. All lots have at least 1 illustration on our website, and many will have multiple illustrations.

The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot: ** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g.

V Used, Very fine.

F Used, Fine G Used, Good H Used, Heavy.

U Used,quality unspecified W Unused, no gum D Piece Cover, card or Postal Stationery S Stamp (“Postmarks” lots) * The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from ‘A’ to ‘D’. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to covers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded ‘A’ is very fine; it has no faults. ‘B’ items are fine and may have minor imperfections. A ‘C’ item will exhibit obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated ‘D’. Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated ‘A+’. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which one would normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition.

An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an ‘A-’. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver’s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together.

A book may have a previous owner’s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an ‘A-’ or ‘B’ is a matter of degree.

The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading ‘Postmarks’.

For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ relates to centring. ‘A’ stamps are very well centred; ‘B’ stamps are slightly off-centre; ‘C’ stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the design; ‘D’ stamps are badly off-centre, with the perforations well into the design. [NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19th Century American issues. However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus ‘C’, and even ‘D’, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such issues a ‘B’ stamp will be above-average and an ‘A’ stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.]

Following the letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ is a number ‘1’ to ‘4’. A stamp with all perforations intact is ‘1’. One or two short perfs, or normal rough perforations, will drop the grading to ‘2’. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a ‘3’ grading. A stamp with major perforation faults will be a ‘4’. [NB: A stamp graded ‘A1’ is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm. However, for many issues, ‘B2’ or even ‘C3’ may be normal and quite acceptable.]

For lots listed under the sub-headings “Postmarks” and “Ship/Paquebot Markings”, this column gives a grading for quality of the strike, and completeness. Quality is graded from ‘A’ (very fine) to ‘D’ (poor). Completeness is graded from ‘1’ (complete) to ‘5’ (identifiable only). ‘+’ is used for superb strikes; ‘-’ is used for postmarks which are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit short of the mark.

The 5th column contains the general description of the of the lot and should be self-evident with one exception. When a catalogue value is extrapolated the value is followed by a ↕, e.g. $2000↕. Typical extrapolations are 40% of the catalogue value for hinged mint when the catalogue only provides values for MUH, 200% for MUH when the catalogue value is for mint hinged.

The following notes apply specifically to postmark description.

Whenever possible postmarks will be described in full, except that the top portion of a postmark is only spelt out when it differs from the post office name or requires some clarification. Bracketed shaded text within a description indicates that these characters cannot be read, while greyed characters are hard to read or are only partly present, as is the case when part of the postmark is on the edge of a stamp. Very large or small letters are represented by large and small fonts respectively; small fonts are particularly used to indicate the presence of small nylon wheels in the datestamp. The following example illustrates these points: '[POST] OFFICE/21DE86/GARAH'.

For postmark lots the condition of the postmark is the most important aspect of our descriptions. Minor defects in the stamp or cover are mentioned only when the value of the item is significant. Naturally, major defects will always be described.

The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.

The last column is the estimate. The reserve is almost always 75% of the estimate and bids below the reserve will not be considered.

No GST is added to the hammer price. The vendors have accepted responsibility for any tax payable.
