elcome to Chicagopex 2014, one of the premier national stamp shows in the country. This year’s show takes place November 21-23 at the Westin Chicago Northwest in Itasca, Illinois – very close to Chicago O’Hare International Airport. We are the official auctioneer of this important event. Auction viewing is in the Gallery Ballroom next to the show floor, with the live auction taking place in the nearby Chambers Lecture Hall on Saturday and Sunday. This sale offers close to 2,700 auction lots, with estimates totaling more than $2.5 million. We are pleased to offer a very strong selection of high-quality United States, British and Worldwide stamps, covers and collections: Session I begins Saturday at 11am (CT), covering USA Stamps singles, plate blocks, sheets and errors. It’s always exciting for us to be able to offer a St. Louis Bear. This time we’re offering two – Lots 13 and 14 are examples of the 1845 10¢ black on greenish paper provisional (11X2). Other highlights include very high-quality items, such as a PSAG graded 100 MINT #11 (Lot 56). With an estimate of $5,750, this is not your grandfather’s stamp! We also have other goodies, such as an 1861 1¢ Premier Gravure (Scott 55, Lot 142), estimated at $23,000, a very attractive 1869 24¢ Invert (Scott 120b, Lot 280), a seldom-seen 90¢ grilled Bank Note (Scott144, Lot 326), and even an 1880 30¢ Special Printing (Scott 201, Lot 377). In 20th Century, you’ll find an 8¢ Bluish paper (Scott 363, Lot 755) and a gorgeous MINT line pair of the Type II unwatermarked coil (Scott 491, Lot 898), one of only four recorded. We feature a larger-than-normal section of plate blocks, some 201 this time around. Many are extremely fine examples such as a stunning TOP plate block of the $2 Franklin (Scott 523, Lot 1338). We’ve become known for our strong offerings of EFO material, and feature 93 lots in all price ranges, including another non-Inverted Jenny single, similar to the one that hammered for $12,500 in our August auction (Lot 1577). Session II starts at 11am (CT) on Sunday, covering Confederate States, Possessions, British & Foreign singles, USA & Worldwide covers and collections. Our Confederates are not to be missed! With 56 lots of singles and 102 cover lots, and estimates close to $100,000, this is one of the strongest CSA sections we’ve had the pleasure of offering. You’ll find everything from Provisionals to General issues, mint, used and on cover, as well as other important items, such as a free-franked cover addressed and signed by Robert E. Lee (Lot 2239). A few other highlights include a gorgeous Great Britain £5 orange Victoria (Scott 93, Lot 1833), Australia £2 Kangaroo (Scott 15, Lot 1869) and a North West Pacific Islands £1 Kangaroo (Scott 38, Lot 1914). And, there are the collections and large lots; so much material, so little time. You’ll find more than 300 lots of these always-popular groupings, ranging from just a couple of hundred dollars to well over $12,000. Lot viewing is available in our St. Louis gallery until Saturday, November 15th, and then on the show floor during Chicagopex. The auction is available online for viewing and bidding 24 hours a day at www.RegencySuperior.com, with bids updated instantaneously.

Bidding Guidelines for Stamps & Postal History Stamp Catalogs

Stamp Centering Grades

The current editions of Scott Catalogues are used, plus where applicable, additional catalog values are listed from Gibbons, Michel, Facit, Yvert & PSE's Stamp Market Quarterly (SMQ).

Estimates In addition to the catalog value, 'estimates' are listed for each lot. You will find the estimates more reflective of the current market, and what you can reasonably expect to pay for a lot. You may, of course, bid higher or lower than the estimates. You may also speak with a lot describer for a more detailed description of a particular lot. Please call at least 72-hours prior to the sale (the earlier, the better). Remember, a Public Auction is not an approval service. Lots are not returnable unless misdescribed.

Covers & Postcards Covers should be expected to have slight reductions, minor nicks and tears usually from opening. Folded letters normally have one or two file folds, and these are not normally described and are not grounds for return.

Extremely Fine

Near perfect centering on all four sides. A real gem.

Very fine

Well centered, all perforations well clear of design on all four sides, but design slightly off center.

FVF Fine to Very Fine Perforations clear design on all four sides, but design is off center usually on two sides. F

Fine

Perforations barely clear design, or may touch on early issues prior to 1900.

AVE Average

Perforations cut into design.

IMPORTANT: Early stamp issues prior to 1900 were printed in such a way that the design was naturally very close to the edges. This is taken into consideration when grading. For SETS, the above classifications are used in describing the overall appearance of the set with particular attention to the high values.

Stamp Gum & Hinging MNH Never Hinged

Limits You may limit your total purchases by simply indicating the amount on your bidding form. This way, for example, you can bid on $5,000 worth of lots, but limit your purchases to $1,000. Remember, all lots are sold in lot number order. Bids on specific lots over and beyond your limit may be added to your purchase if you indicate they are to be excluded from your limit.

Mint, full original gum as issued by the Post Office. No trace of any hinge mark and no gum disturbance. The presence of an expertizer’s mark does not disqualify a stamp from this designation, but will be noted.

LH Lightly Hinged Unused, original gum with light gum disturbance from the removal of a hinge. No hinge remnant present, and only a trace of the hinge mark visible.

'OR' Bids

Hinged

You may bid on several similar lots with the assurance that you will purchase only one of them. Simply place an 'OR' between the bids submitted on the lots involved, and we will buy the first 'OR' lot for you, and void the rest. Remember, all lots are sold in lot number order, so you may not indicate a preference for one lot over another.

()

Unused

Unused, original gum. Hinge marks will be readily present, and there may be some small pieces of the hinge still adhering to the stamp. No gum.

Thomas Lee came from a military background, and lived in many towns and territories rich in U.S. history. His collecting interest was formed by several of these areas where he once lived. Thomas was born in 1942 in Maysville, Kentucky. During World War II, Thomas' father was a naval officer stationed in Bremerton, WA. After a few months, his family relocated to the San Francisco Bay area where his father's ship was fitted with new equipment and crew just before heading out to the Pacific to rejoin the war.

Thomas Lee has consigned more than 55 lots of singles and 102 cover lots of Confederate material. You'll find everything from Provisionals to General issues, mint, used and on cover. Plus, a free-franked cover addressed and signed by Robert E. Lee (Lot 2239). Also included in this sale are his U.S. classic gems, early Hawaii, and U.S. Possessions.

Consequent to the warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, Thomas' family traveled to Hawaii to live in Pearl Harbor, and then later moved to a naval base in Newport, RI where his father attended the Naval War College. Upon graduation, his father was re-assigned to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba where Thomas and his family soon met up with him. While at Guantanamo Bay in the early 1950s, Thomas started stamp collecting as a scouting project, concentrating specifically on United States postage. After school, Thomas spent eight years in the Army where he was deployed for three tours in Germany and another in Vietnam. Post service, Thomas began a career with the U.S. Government for a period of 11 years before taking a position with Nike, Inc. During this time, he spent time in both Tennessee and Texas before retiring in late 2003. Once well immersed in his U.S. collection, he branched out into U.S. Possessions with a specific passion for Hawaii. But, the bulk of his collection consists of Confederate States postage and postal history. Thomas attributes this new found interest to his grandmother, who gave him three covers from a family member in Kentucky while his unit was stationed in Gettysburg. Thomas' interest in Confederate States increased further while living and working in Richmond, Virginia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; becoming his major focus.

Very scarce error produced entirely by the Bureau of Engraving & Printing and every bit as much of an invert as Jennys or Candleholders, but far more affordable. Very RARE, particularly with setting type differences. MINT never hinged.

(1284d) 1966 ROOSEVELT 6¢ GRAY BROWN, FULL BOOKLET PANE, IMPERF BETWEEN PAIR ........... PH $5000

Very RARE, if not unique booklet pane of 14-ish, with foldover creating one complete pair imperforate between and two additional ‘almosts.’ Significant gum damage from moisture and rusty staple holes at left and top, but still show-stealing exhibit piece. Datz references piece as ‘possibly unique,’ meaning it is significantly undervalued. (Datz $2420)

$350

Very rare upper right plate block (#34247) with only the offset black color setoff on gum side, leaving ghostly appearance of colonists tossing tea. It’s usually only engraved colors found with strong setoffs. Setoff strong and clear, and plate block MINT never hinged.

Blue folded letter franked with single Scott #1a, black grid cancel, nearby red Boston/5cts postmark. Addressed to Massachusetts, letter dated 1850. Vertical file fold, fine to very fine. (1978 PF Cert #66182)

The scarcest shade of the 5¢ 1847 issue on the ONLY REPORTED COVER bearing 2 examples. Folded letter to Cleveland, datelined New York, June 27, 1851, franked with two single 5¢ red orange stamps, each tied with red square grid cancels, matching red NY CDS at right. Right stamp has large margins, showing small part of stamp below, small faults and a lightened manuscript mark bottom left; left stamp margins large to just in upper left, small internal crease top right. The Red Orange shade has long been considered by far the most desirable of all color varieties of the 5¢ 1847. Of the total of 14,817 covers reported in the 1847 cover census, only 6 bear the Red Orange shade, and this is the ONLY ONE with 2 examples. Calvet Hahn postulated in his research that the Red Orange was part of the final printing of the 5¢ 1847 in December 1850 – a fact confirmed by Wade Saadi. This, of course, would be one of the latest uses before the 1851 series replaced thee 1847 issue. An extremely important 1847 issue cover and major show piece!

Several hundred stamps on stock pages, album pages and protective sleeves in binder, somewhat organized by Scott number, and accompanied by 'inventory' sheet. Bulk of the material and value pre-1930. Despite numerous misidentifications and enthusiastic evaluations, there's still much of value here. We noted, for example, 12¢ 1861, grilled 1¢ #92, 12¢ 1869, mint 30¢ Columbian (with issues), an attractive #183 with strong Glen Allen Star precancel, Few Confederates, 152, 165, 208, piece of Postal Currency, numerous Large Bank Notes (up to 5¢ denominations), few Ducks, nice little group of mint Kans-Neb, Mint Columbian Pioneer postal card, Boston 'Merchants Parcel Delivery' label and much more.

We even noted a beer stamp. Even not counting common, mis-identified or damaged, there's still easily couple thousand cat in usable stamps, plus the potential of finds in the old envelopes of bulk stamps. Owner spent much time and effort, but there's still miles to go. Mixed condition. Also includes small, somewhat looted 19th century WW collection with a few better here and there (about $450 catalog), including some U.S. revenues (with a 1917 'First Premium' award tag for collection). 2351 / 1851-1986 STATESMAN & MINUTEMAN ALBUMS ..... $300-400

Ten cartons stuffed with many tens of thousands of mint and used stamps in myriad of albums, stock books and other housing. Covers the World with strength in Europe and colonies, includes a good amount of MINT never hinged material. Some better areas include GREAT BRITAIN, EGYPT, LITHUANIA, LATVIA, FSAT and JAPAN. We noted a stock book contains German post WWII material with x10 MNH sets of B316-317, multiple never hinged semi-postal sets of that period (between B302//B319), blocks of several nice 'Posthorn' overprints, and more. Consignor has cataloged many (not all) of these books with totals inside their front covers (2002-2009 Scott catalogs). The superficial total is well over $100,000. But much more is here uncataloged or untotaled. To make it a bit easier, he has also noted catalog values and sub-totals on many pages for many individual singles and sets. Also noted some U.S. and modern Western European face value material, including some mint sheets, as well as a nice group of 5 Master Global albums with strength in British Colonies, some PORTUGUESE COLONIES and LATIN AMERICA. There is useful duplication throughout. We note strong 19th Century France and Colonies with many high values, specialized and country collections that could easily be sold as units. MINT never hinged, hinged, used or on cover. Mainly fine to very fine. We do not see too many offerings such as this today. Will keep you very busy for many months.

Includes ALBANIA (x400) with some NH; YUGOSLAVIA (x930) all periods, mostly used with no duplication; then x280 from related areas Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Serbia, mostly older issues but a few modern.
