What comes next?
After you have placed a consignment order with us, our experts will prepare your pieces for auction, whether as individual lots or as a complete collection. Rely completely on our philatelists, they will act in your best interest.
Approximately four weeks before the auction starts, we will send you a consignment confirmation. Here you will find all the important information for you, such as bidding prices and division of your collection.
In the two weeks before the auction, interested parties have the opportunity to examine our offer at their leisure.
We accept written bids until one day before the auction starts.
