Phoenix Auctions - Auction No.72 A warm welcome to our 6th Public Auction for 2019. The auction is in 2 parts, Part 1 is the Box Lot & Collections Sale which starts at 9:30am. Part 2, this catalogue, will commence at 12:00noon. The auction will be held at our Surrey Hills premises.

Auction 71 was very successful, the Carson/Morgan Sale clearing 90% and the sporting cards clearing 100%. Our morning session also cleared nearly 80%. A very pleasing result. David, Ken & Lyndel had an enjoyable time in Sydney and it was good to meet so many of our Sydney clients there.

Phoenix Auctions 72 - Friday 16th August 2019

How to Get the Most from Our Catalogue These notes are offered as a guide to understanding the information given as symbols.

1.

Firstly, we have the lot number. Most lots have at least one illustration in the catalogue and on our website many will have multiple illustrations.

2.

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 P Proof Ω Unused, no gum Δ Piece * Cover, card S Specimen or Stamp (“Postmarks” lots) PS Postal Stationery B Booklets or Booklet Panes R Reprint

3.

The 3rd column contains the general description 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'.

After the forscription of the postmark we will indicate the overall quality of the cancel with a bracketed 2 character code. The first character is A-D where A is a fine clear postmark through to D which is barely legible. The second character is a number from 1 to 4 where 1 is complete including all the frame through to 4 where only 25% or less of the cancel is visible. For exceptional strikes we will further qualify the quality code with a ‘+’ and for items which are light etc the code will be qualified with a ‘-’.

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.

4.

The symbols in the second column, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.

5.

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

6.

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

7.

We use the following standardised abbreviations: og original gum opt(d) overprint(ed) d/s datestamp cds circular datestamp h/s handstamp mss manuscript; handwritten ERD earliest recorded date LRD latest recorded date o/o opened-out RLabel registration label M/S(s) miniature sheet(s) PPC picture postcard impt imprint mtd mounted provl provisional wmk watermark LDL large dateline (postmarks) SDL small dateline (postmarks) TLC,TRC,LLC,LRC Top Left Cnr, Top Right Cnr, Lower Left Cnr, Lower Right Cnr

My Auction 72 Bidsheet As mentioned earlier My Auction Bidsheet is the most important part of the website when you have placed bids in the auction, because it provides everything you need to manage 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. And it always shows you the current status of your bids.

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 globally 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. At this auction the Buyer’s commission is 19.25% (incl GST)
