David Feldman Spring Auctions, April 1-5, 2008, Feature Great Results for Rarities (04/10/2008)

Reflecting the continuing strong market for rare stamps and postal history, and with dealers and exhibitors looking towards the major international exhibitions coming up, culminating with London 2010, our latest series of auctions, held April 1-5, 2008, totalled nearly 10 million Euro, averaging 30% over the estimates and with a very high percentage of lots sold. The semi-annual auction of Rarities of the World & Important Collections included four great world rarities. The first on offer was the British Guiana 1851 "Cotton Reel" issue "2 cents" error on pale blue paper, on a cover formerly in the Burrus Collection. It opened at 360'000 Euro and sold for 597'500 Euro to a telephone bidder. Soon after, the only known unused example of the Baden 9 kreuzer error of colour on blue-green paper, with nearly full original gum, brought 1'314'500 Euro, far eclipsing its previous results in 1991 and 1997 auctions. The next lot was the newly-discovered cover with the largest known franking of the 1850 1 schilling first issue of Schleswig-Holstein (two strips of three), used from Ploen; it sold for 478'000 Euro in its maiden appearance at public auction, while the famous "Trondheim" block of 39 of Norway's first issue brought 1'434'000 Euro. When people inquired about the identity of the buyers for some of these items, Feldman philatelist Anders Thorell said, "There is a confidentiality issue inherent in our business, however we can state that the buyer represents a foreign company presently acquiring great world philatelic rarities." Other lots among the Rarities included an important Canada collection offered in several lots, starting with a mint 1851 12d Black with sheet margin that realised 155'350 Euro, while the rest brought an aggregate of 133'840 Euro against upper estimates totalling 51'000 Euro. A collection of United States formed in Europe, estimated for a minimum of about 75'000 Euro spread over 12 lots, was sold for 168'973 Euro to several different buyers who competed intensely for every lot. Also on offer were a Romania 1862 6 parale single franking on newspaper wrapper, estimated for 6'000 to 9'000 Euro, which soared from an opening bid of 8'000 to a final result of 31'000 Euro in a long struggle among several bidders. Our offer of the second part of the "Kristall" Estate of Sweden saw the famous cover franked by a block and a single of the 1855 4 skilling value open for 95'000 Euro and conclude at 227'000 Euro - typical of the strong realisations throughout the auction. For example, an imperforate set of blocks of the 1874 Officials, estimated at 10'000 Euro, brought 26'290 Euro.

Among the Europe and Colonies lots on offer, a section of France drew much interest and excellent results for covers with uncommon frankings or to unusual destinations, with results often reaching multiples of estimates. Overseas lots included strong coverage of a large Egypt section, while Persia rarities and inverted centres brought excellent results. British area lots, and particularly Great Britain proper, were offered in profusion. A session which included several hundred "Penny Blacks" in high quality drew intense bidding from the room as well as from those bidding via the internet, with lot after lot soaring to levels well above estimate. For example, a block of four of the 1d "Rainbow Trials," estimated at 5'000 Euro, brought 14'340 Euro - and this result was typical of the realisations throughout the session, with some "Penny Blacks" bringing 360 to 420 Euro each, and one from plate 11, matched with a "Penny Red" from the same plate and position, bringing 3’107 Euro. Collections, lots and estates, offered in a separate group of sessions as well as being included in the Sweden and Rarities auctions, again proved that no matter the area, the degree of specialisation or the mixture of contents, there is very strong demand when aspirations for both quality and rarity are met. Bidders watching and participating via the internet were more important than ever, and many had taken advantage of the extensive scans of large lots the company had posted allowing collectors to view every item in a large lot in full size and colour. Managing Director Marcus Orsi estimated that the internet added at least 35% to the total realisation, and stated, "This has been one of our most successful auction series, and demonstrates our ability to generate strong results for every area of philately and for every kind of lot, from a modest accumulation to a world-class rarity. Our company continues its tradition of leadership in the auction business for world-wide stamps, covers, and collections, and our results prove it, time after time." The catalogues and prices realised can be seen on the our web site, www.davidfeldman.com. The next scheduled David Feldman auction will be held October 2-6, 2008 and will close by the middle of July. David Feldman SA is known for its tradition of innovation, friendly and knowledgeable staff and flexible arrangements with vendors - all of which contribute to strong results in the auctions held twice a year.

David Feldman Announces Innovative Merger Serving the Highest Levels of Philately (01/18/2008)

David Feldman has merged his Geneva, Switzerland-based auction house with Dr. Markus A. Frey’s rare stamp trading company, based in Zurich. Together, they form the Feldman & Frey Philatelic Group, which will develop the ability to buy, sell and hold the world’s rarest stamps while continuing the auctions which have set world records in every sector of philately for almost 30 years. "Unlike many other high-value collectibles, particularly paintings and objets d'art, stamps have lagged behind as real assets, and it certainly is the perfect time to remedy this," Feldman says. "Our plans are to develop private transactions as distinct from our auction operations, bringing the elite financial expertise of the Frey Group into the high priced sector of philately, and establishing sound and secure values for the rarest philatelic items." "Since the passing of such monumental dealers as Renato Mondolfo and the Weill Brothers," says Feldman, "there has been an unfortunate lack of professional support for the trade of great stamp rarities. Serious collectors may wait generations for coveted items to come onto the market, or for a buyer at an appropriate level to appear. This is too long; today, things must move at a more convenient pace. The Feldman & Frey Philatelic Group will provide firm market support for the purchase and placement of great philatelic rarities, anywhere and at any time, and create a venue where the top stamp collectors will be tempted by exciting offers."

David Feldman is an international philatelist, renowned auctioneer, author and recipient of awards including the International Grand Prix Club Gold Award. He is a signatory of the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists (Ireland). Over the past 40 years, David Feldman and his company have become the global leader in handling the most valuable stamp rarities in the world, and have sold more Grand Prix and Large Gold Medal collections than any other company in the history of philately.Using a remarkably comprehensive and reliable Live Internet Bidding System, perfected since its first application in May 2000, has enabled the Company to extend the global reach of its auctions to every corner of the world. Dr. Markus A. Frey, a dedicated philanthropist, chairs Bank Frey & Co. AG in Zurich, an elite private bank serving an international clientele, typically with high-value assets. Among other business activities, he is a leading partner in the well known Zurich law firm of Niederer Kraft & Frey. By combining the expertise and world-wide contacts of David Feldman SA with the international legal and trust services of the Frey Group, the Feldman & Frey Philatelic Group will further develop, from a position of immense financial strength, the highest value and top quality sector of the philatelic market. The Group will offer its services not only to top philatelists but also to those who would consider rare philatelic items as an intelligent long-term component of their overall asset allocation.

Results of our Switzerland Auction in Zurich: David Feldman Auction in Zurich, Dec. 4, 2007 - Great Success for Classic Switzerland (12/18/2007)

The David Feldman auction of the "Atlantic" collection of Classic Switzerland, presented over 270 lots in a deluxe, bi-lingual (German/English) catalogue. Of these, 97% were sold, for a total of 168% of the printed estimates.

Bidders from throughout Switzerland as well as from several foreign countries were present both in the auction room or via the internet, with most lots starting at modest levels and then soaring higher, sometimes to amazing levels.

The Cantonal Issues which made up a the main part of the catalogue saw many outstanding realisations. For example, the Zurich 6rp mint strip of ten, ex Hind, estimated for CHF 10'000, sold for CHF 31'070 (all results include buyer's premium). The right and left halves of a "Double Geneva" used on a matched pair of covers, estimated at CHF 20'000, brought CHF 47'800, while a pair of the Geneva "Large Eagles" on cover soared to CHF 64'530 against an estimate of CHF 15'000.

From the Winterthur issue, a strip of three of the 2 1/2rp used on cover, estimated at CHF 60'000, realised CHF 83'650. A mixed franking of the Winterthur with a 2 1/2rp Orts-Post, brought CHF 155'350 and another mixed franking, with the Rayon I 5r value, climbed to an astonishing CHF 191'200.

We at David Feldman are already making plans for our 2008 auction of Switzerland. We are also finalising preparations for our Spring series of auctions, planned for April 1-5, 2008, with rare stamps, covers and collections from all over the world, plus our semi-annual auction of Rarities of the World, which will again feature great single rarities and important collections offered intact.

David Feldman April 15-21, 2007 Auction: Outstanding Results (04/27/2007)

An unprecedented surge in demand pushed activity and prices to unprecedented levels, with intense bidding from all over the world. The frenetic pace culminated in an exceptional total result for the week of auctions that began April 15 and ended April 21. Six different catalogues presented nearly 5'000 total lots, a panoply of material that encompassed the world of philately. Strong bids from multitudes of bidders resulted in a memorable week of auctions, with prices pushed for lot after lot to new peaks. Several room bidders noted that the internet has finally become an increasingly important factor, with internet bidders holding their own against telephone bidders, agents and others physically present in the auction room. According to a representative of Core Technologies, who provide the software for internet bidding, at least 425 different bidders were connected during some portion of the auctions, bid on over 36% of the lots (often with multiple internet bidders on the same lot), and won about 23% of the total lots. A session of over 500 lots of Great Britain saw prices surpass recent London levels for choice material, with rare proofs and multiples leading the way. A strip of six of the Penny Black tied to piece soared to € 38'240 (about £26'000) and a used block of six on piece fetched € 43'020 (about £29'250) while an Ormond Hill die proof in ultramarine overprinted "Specimen" sold for € 31'070 (about £21'125, well over its present catalogue value) to an internet bidder after intense competition. Among more modern issues, the popular Seahorse £1, in a mint corner margin example, brought € 5,258 (about £ 3'575) - typical of the results for key stamps throughout the session. Another session of British Commonwealth saw prices nearing or surpassing catalogue values for choice material, and strong activity for high-quality sections of Canada & BNA, Cape of Good Hope and other areas. The dispersal of the unique archive of the Courvoisier company of Switzerland, who had printed stamps for over 80 countries world-wide, was intensely contested by a room full of bidders including auction agents, telephone bidders and dozens internet bidders. Lot after lot soared to two, three, four or even higher multiples of the estimates as collectors of thematics vied against country specialtists and dealers. The highlight of the sale was a lot of 59 imperforate proofs and essays of the 1948 Gandhi issue of India, which opened at € 22'000 and was the subject of bidding by no less than 6 telephone bidders, several internet bidders and several agents. Step by step, the price climbed relentlessly, and the lot was hammered down for € 89'625 (about $121'890) to sustained applause. Similar levels prevailed for items from popular areas; for example a collection of Papua New Guinea issues of 1962-82, estimated at € 4'000 - 8'000, ended in a battle between telephone and internet bidders at € 33'460 (about $45'500) and a collection of Vatican City, estimated at € 10'000 - 20'000, went to a telephone bidder against agent and other floor bids for € 57,360 (about $78'000).

Among the Overseas lots, a strong section of United States material drew many bids from there via the internet as well as from agents and collectors present in the auction room. The 1869 15c type II and 24c inverted centers, used, together brought € 30'475 (about $41'500) and an attractive block of four of the 1915 50c Franklin (Scott no. 440) opened well over its estimate and was finally hammered down for € 9'560 (about $13'000) against a Scott catalogue value of $5'200. A section of thematics, featuring Olympics and Polar material, went well, with unusual material (programmes, tickets, signed memorabilia) leading the way. The company's semi-annual auction of Rarities of the World included an exhibit-mounted collection of Argentina which brought € 149'375 (about $203'000); the famous Cape of Good Hope 4d Black triangular climbed to € 35'850 (about £24'400) in a duel between auction agents, and the unique 1870 French "boule de moulins" cover to Paris forwarded to Russia was picked up by a telephone bidder for € 69'310 - just a few of many great realisations throughout that sale. The final sessions of the week were Collections, Large Lots & Estates. Collectors and dealers from every continent had come to view; some had spent a week or more. Lot after lot was hammered down at multiples of its printed estimates; lot after lot was the subject of intense rivalry both in the room and over the internet. The highlight of the day's sessions came near the end, when an investment holding of Peoples Republic of China came under the hammer. Opening at € 120'000 (the high estimate), it soon soared past € 200'000 and then € 300'000 until only two bidders remained - and the hammer finally dropped at € 406'300 (about $552'500, exceeding Scott catalogue value of about $520'000). Bidders and staff agreed that it had been an extraordinary week, one of the strongest auctions anyone could remember anywhere. The next David Feldman auctions are scheduled for early October 2007, and potential vendors are requested to contact the staff as soon as possible, as catalogues will be closing in mid-July at the latest. Specialised sections of Sweden and of classic Brazil are already on hand, and the company hopes to bring its unrivaled mix of expertise and promotion to bear on every property consigned for October.

David Feldman's S.A. Autumn Auction Series Completed with Great Success (12/16/2005)

The latest David Feldman SA series of auctions (held November 29 - December 3) brought spirited bidding from clients present in the room, whether in person, over telephone links, by agents, or (importantly) over the internet. In a week of auctions that combined specialised collections (from Persia to Switzerland, Australian States to Greece, Egypt to Classic postal history worldwide), the trend was clear: material fresh to the marketplace was in high demand, and the prices reflected this.
Prices Realised can be viewed and/or downloaded in PDF format at https://www.davidfeldman.com/PR/055/PR_055.pdf

In fact, the internet was so much a presence throughout the week that some commented that this ready connection from anywhere in the world would have been sorely missed had it been absent. Well over 200 bidders from nearly 40 countries were able to participate, hear the live audio and take part, and thus win as many lots as if they had been present in the auction room - for indeed they were, in real time!
David Feldman, chairman of the company, commented, "Collectors should take advantage of the strong market for fresh material, choice classics and interesting covers. With every auction, we see an almost insatiable demand, particularly for nice collections offered intact, which often sell for more than they would have if broken down. Of course, 'showpiece' items from every area, which appeal to both connoisseurs and exhibitors, are always strong, as are truly rare items regardless of price levels."
The next David Feldman SA auctions are set for Washington DC in May 2006.

From November 29 through December 3, David Feldman SA of Geneva, Switzerland will present their Autumn series of auctions totalling nearly 5,000 lots, offered in five deluxe catalogues and spanning the stamps and postal history of the whole world. Marcus Orsi, managing director, stated that, "These auctions are as diverse, diverting and delightful as any we have ever held, and are sure to have items appealing to nearly all philatelists."
"We will offer specialised collections, major sections of several areas, and nearly 600 large lots, collections and liquidation of estates. The sheer power and diversity is awesome; collectors of Switzerland, Greece, Australian States, Egypt, Persia - to name just a few of many areas - will find fresh material in great depth, important rarities on and off cover, and wonderful specialist items throughout. In addition, *we have been entrusted with the sale of a fantastic collection of First Issue covers, which can be found all through the catalogues," continued Mr. Orsi.
The auctions comprise five catalogues:

• Rarities of the World, together with the famous Shaefer collection of Mixed Frankings with Switzerland, including many items known to be unique. The world-wide portion of this auction includes such gems as a famous British Guiana "cotton reel" cover, a fine 3 Lire of Tuscany, rare Canadian and Chinese flight covers, and much else of interest.
• Greece: The Collection of Large Hermes Heads, Part VI, presents the penultimate offering of the greatest such collection ever formed, and promises to draw intense interest once again when offered in simultaneous sales rooms via high speed Internet in Geneva and in Athens.
• Egypt, Persia & Middle East will present the first portion of the famous "Nile" Grand Prix collection of postal history, together with the Hassan Shaida Persia, rich in postal history and forming the basis of Mr. Shaida's handbook on the subject, plus important Holy Land, Saudia Arabia and other Middle Eastern material.
• Switzerland Specialised, the largest section the company has offered in many years, from Cantonal gems to modern rarities, replete with beautiful covers and specialised groupings as well as numerous collections and lots.
• All-World catalogue, comprising over 4,000 lots! British Empire features specialised Australian States (particularly on cover) which will be offered in simultaneous auction rooms via high speed Internet in Geneva and in Melbourne, plus early covers and choice stamps from throughout the Empire. Europe & Colonies presents key items from nearly every country, as well as strong France & Colonies. Overseas includes Asia, with first issue covers of China & Japan, plus Africa and Latin America (again, first issue covers and specialised sections galore). Also offered will be a large exhibit collection of Zeppelin covers, featuring rare origins and early pioneer flights, a diverse and important showing of Olympics and other Thematics, and Arctic & Antarctic replete with rarities. Finally, over 600 large lots, collections and estates feature specialised collections offered intact, plus several substantial dealer stocks as well as wonderful properties from the world over, loaded with fresh material of interest to collectors and dealers alike.

Report of the Numismata and International Stamp Fair 2004 in Munich on 03/06/04 (03/11/04)

Every year again at the beginning of  March in Munich the Numismata takes place, which is meanwhile the largest coin fair of the world. Parallel to it you can visit the international stamp fair on Saturday. Since many collectors of coins collect also stamps this is very good. Because of the meaning of both stock exchanges visitors and exhibitors from the whole world are coming in a large number.  Thus the Numismata is probably not only the largest but also the most international of all coin fairs.
