Offered here now – only one time ever – are several scarce collectible items that will grow in value as the years go by. Most are philatelic in nature – and several are one-of-a-kind original items.

Blind bidding will be done by automated email. Simply click on the associated link for the item you're interested in, and that will open an email window for you. If you wish to bid on multiple items, that must be done through separate emails for each item. Important: put your bid amount in the Subject line; put your name, address and telephone number in the body, and then click on the send button.
