Collection Building And Dispersal Services
 

If I can be of assistance in helping you build, or sell, a world class philatelic collection, please contact me. A few examples of collections I have been involved with are summarized below. I purchase material publicly and from my many private sources.

After helping acquire material, exhibit internationally, and write a book with Mr. Mayer, I handled the sale of the collection through Spink / Shreve in 2008 at public auction for over $2.3m.

After helping acquire material, exhibit internationally, and write a book with Mr. Mayer, I handled the sale of the collection in 2005. The collection is considered to be the finest collection of a United States single stamp ever formed.

The Frederick Mayer collection of Nova Scotia, valued over $2m, included all of the great rarities. A website of the collection is here. It was sold at auction through H.R. Harmer, Inc. of New York City, in May, 2004.

Acquired privately in 2003 for an American client. I consider this cover to be the premier piece in both American and Hawaiian philately. Glad to see this item back in the United States. Last sold publicly for $2.09m.

The Frederick Mayer collection of used United States placed with Ivy & Mader and sold January 31, 2003 for over $1m. My favorite of the few covers in the sale was the 20c St. Louis Bear cover at left which was purchased by me for another client for $52,250. and has since been resold by me again.

Frederick Mayer collection of Colorado Territory which helped acquire and mount (see the web site here) is currently on display at the Colorado Historical Society in Denver.
