2 Page 2 PPA Preamble Welcome to our 2nd Auction for Please note that it is being held on a Sunday instead of our usual Saturday. With nearly 5,900 lots from well over 300 different countries or states this is our largest auction ever. We have continued to improve the presentation of our auctions both on the web at and in our printed catalogues and extracts. Our Collectors of Australian Kangaroos and Georgian Heads will notice that these entries are much easier to to use as we now have sub-headings for each stamp and colour. Our registration label listings have also been improved to provide greater clarity for group lots. If you have access to our website you will notice that the images on our Image Gallery have been much improved and if we have your collecting interests on record then you will also notice a new menu entry - My Image Gallery. This enables you to browse through the images of the lots that match your collecting interests, making it simpler and quicker to view the image lots of interest. We have also improved our cross-referencing so the destination and transit mail is now identified separately. This along with better identification of stamps used abroad has made our country groupings more realistic. Please advise us if these changes need to be included in your collecting interests. We have made 2 other changes with respect to the payment options we offer. We have at last organised ourselves to accept PayPal. However we have decided to add a 2.5% premium for use of this facility. We have also decided to charge a 4% premium if an American Express card is used. These changes have been made reluctantly but they do represent our actual costs. No fees are charged for using Visa or Mastercard or any other form of payment in Australian dollars. Lack of space prevents us from waxing long and lyrically about our auction, suffice it to say that It has a much larger range of material than our previous auctions. We continue to offer a wide range of KGV varieties as well as another fine selection of Papuan Lakatoi varieties. Following the success of the Victorian Registration labels we have started a new section for South Australian Registration Labels. There are PPCs, cinderellas, stamps, postal stationery, postal history, postmarks, flight covers etc from around the world. With such a large auction there is bound to be something of interest here for almost everyone. If you find it a bit daunting going through so many lots, tell us what your collecting interests are so that we can send you an extract of just those lots that fall within your collecting areas. These extracts have the double benefit of making it easier for you while saving paper and therefore reducing our production and postage costs. Please be detailed when you tell us your collecting interests so that we can make the extract as useful as possible for you. The best way of bidding is to use our website, However if you don t have access to the internet or you are not comfortable placing bids on our website then, of course, you can still use the printed bidsheet that comes with the catalogue and fax or mail it to us, or you can phone your bids through if you prefer. We will take bids any way they come. An auction of this size can only be created with the active support of everyone in the company and this is very much appreciated.

3 Auction 68-10:00am Sunday 11th March 2007 Page 3 HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM OUR CATALOGUE [These notes are offered as a guide to understanding the information given as symbols.] 1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and underlined, the item is illustrated: e.g (The actual location of the illustration is given at the end of the description: e.g. {Page 41.37} is position 37 on page 41.) 2. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot: ** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g. W Unused, no gum D Piece ( Postmarks lots) C Cover or card ( Postmarks lots) A Albums and accessories L Literature P Proof S Stamp ( Postmarks lots) or, in the case of used stamps, covers & Postal Stationery a grading of the cancellation: V Neat postmark, leaving most of the stamp design clear F Neat postmark, across at least half of the stamp design G Untidy or indistinct postmark H Heavy or poorly struck postmark 3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from A to D. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to covers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded A is very fine; it has no faults. B items are fine and may have minor imperfections. A C item will exhibit obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated D. Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated A+. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which one would normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition. An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an A-. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may have a previous owner s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an A- or B is a matter of degree. 4. The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading Postmarks. For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter A to D relates to centring. A stamps are very well centred; B stamps are slightly off-centre; C stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the design; D stamps are badly off-centre, with the perforations well into the design. [NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19 th Century American issues. However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus C, and even D, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such issues a B stamp will be above-average and an A stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.] Following the letter A to D is a number 1 to 4. A stamp with all perforations intact is 1. One or two short perfs, or normal rough perforations, will drop the grading to 2. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a 3 grading. A stamp with major perforation faults will be a 4. [NB: A stamp graded A1 is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm. However, for many issues, B2 or even C3 may be normal and quite acceptable.] For lots listed under the sub-headings Postmarks and Ship/Paquebot Markings, this column gives a grading for quality of the strike, and completeness. Quality is graded from A (very fine) to D (poor). Completeness is graded from 1 (complete) to 5 (identifiable only). + is used for superb strikes; - is used for postmarks which are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit short of the mark. 5. The 5th column contains the general description of the of the lot and should be self-evident, however the following notes apply specifically to postmark description. Whenever possible postmarks will be described in full, except that the top portion of a postmark is only spelt out when it differs from the post office name or requires some clarification. Bracketed shaded text within a description indicates that these characters cannot be read, while greyed characters are hard to read or are only partly present, as is the case when part of the postmark is on the edge of a stamp. Very large or small letters are represented by large and small fonts respectively; small fonts are particularly used to indicate the presence of small nylon wheels in the datestamp. The following example illustrates these points: '[POST] OFFICE/ 21DE86 /GARAH'. For postmark lots the condition of the postmark is the most important aspect of our descriptions. Minor defects in the stamp or cover are mentioned only when the value of the item is significant. Naturally, major defects will always be described. 6. The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description. 7. Figures in the right-hand column are our estimate of value. You may bid at, above or below estimate. The reserve price for almost every lot is 80% of estimate (rounded to the nearest bidding step). Bids below this level will not be considered. Lots with an estimate of $3 or less have no reserve. 8. Australian residents will have GST added to the hammer price of all lots. 9. We use the following standardised abbreviations: o.g. original gum opt(d) overprint(ed) d/s datestamp cds circular datestamp h/s handstamp mss manuscript; handwritten ERD earliest recorded date LRD latest recorded date o/o opened-out RLabel registration label M/S(s) miniature sheet(s) PPC picture postcard cnr corner blk block impt imprint mtd mounted provl provisional wmk watermark LDL large dateline (postmarks) SDL small dateline (postmarks) TLC,TRC,LLC,LRC Top Left Cnr, Top Right Cnr, Lower Left Cnr, Lower Right Cnr
