An online auction catalogue for the philatelists amongst you. More than 500 lots of Australian Commonwealth, Australian Colonial and foreign stamps, postal history and postal stationery and we think there will be something for everyone. Whether you are a specialized KGV heads collector (Lots 7 – 26), whether you’re just thinking about reviving your illustrated lettercard collection (Lots 111 – 186) or whether you’re looking to fill-in some gaps in your Papuan pioneer airmail collection, (Lots 487 – 502) you’ll find them here. Along with lots more!

Unlike the Sporting Memorabilia Live Auction scheduled for Sunday May 10^th 2020, this auction will be online only. While you will be able to make an appointment to come in to view, if you wish, there will be no live call of the catalogue on the closing date – the lots will simply retire at specified times, unless there is last minute bidding, of course, in which case the clock resets by one minute. Similarly, as there will be no flipbook or printed catalogue, we are passing on 100% of the savings TO YOU, so instead of the usual 19.5% buyer’s premium, for this online auction, the BP will be reduced to only 10% (+ GST for all Australian residents).

This online catalogue is not intended to replace our live philatelic auctions, simply to bridge the gap between them. So you can expect more of these online-only auctions in the coming weeks and months. We’ll do our best to keep them coming. And they will be coming in other categories, as well. There is a small online Toys & Models auction to be uploaded in the next couple of days and we have started work on an online Postcard, Cigarette & Trade Card sale which should be ready in a few weeks.

We hope you will enjoy browsing through this catalogue and that you will find something that you would like to add to your collection. We will do our best to respond to your questions or requests for details but please understand that some of us are working from home and we don’t always have access to all our files and reference materials.

Our next Live auction (behind closed doors) will be our very popular Australian & Colonial sale, for which we have received wonderful consignments from many vendors. If philately is not your “thing”, you won’t have long to wait before we can share that fantastic range of material with you.

Hoping our catalogues bring you some stimulation, challenges and pleasure during this very difficult time. An of course, also hoping this message finds you all healthy and coping with the necessary restrictions to our lives that we are all doing our best to deal with.

All of us at Leski Auctions.
