Page 3
Welcome to Phoenix Auctions Auction No.40 This is our fifth Auction for 2015 and it is a large one with just over 2,000 lots so we are holding this Auction over two days, Thursday 10th September and Friday 11th September. We always try to improve our catalogues and we have now placed the BCOF issues after the Australian Commonwealth lots. Additionally you will notice a few red-highlighted lots at the bottom of some of the pages. This has been used to promote items in upcoming Auctions. In this case we have shown a small selection of items from an International Gold Medal collection of the Queen Victoria issues of Great Britain. This special auction is planned for October. As usual David will be attending Stampex in London. It is being held at the Business Design Centre from Wednesday 16th September until Saturday 19th. David will be pleased to meet you there and, of course, he will be happy to accept consignments. He is also happy to take your winning lots over for you. However, as David is flying out on Sunday 13th, you must tell us when you bid, as these lots will need to be packed and checked off first, to make it on the plane with David. We have a major vendor in this auction who formed a terrific and varied collection mainly of the Axis powers with a strong emphasis on The Third Reich and military matters. This forms the first section of the catalogue to be held on Thursday morning. He also formed several other collections including a very nice collection of Western Australia Private Carrier stamps, with what many consider to be the finest example of the Lake Lefroy, this is featured on our front cover. These other collections are in the second day’s sections of this auction Session 1 starts at 10:00am on Thursday 10th and contains the European section of our major vendor’s Collection Box Lot Auction #1505 starts at 3:00pm on Thursday 10th Session 2 will start at 10:30am on Friday 11th and contains our normal Rest of World Lots Session 3 will start no earlier than 12:30pm and contains the Australian Colonies Lots Session 4 will start no earlier than 2:15pm and the Australian Commonwealth stamp issues Session 5 will start no earlier than 3:45pm and contains Postal Stationery, Postal History and Australian Territories There is something for almost everyone in this auction.

Phoenix Auctions - 10th & 11th September 2015
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 W D Unused, no gum Piece * Cover, card or S Stamp (“Postmarks” lots) PS Postal Stationery B Booklets or Booklet Panes
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: o.g. 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
