William H. Gross Collection of Important Postage Stamps and Postal History of British North America - November 19, 2009
On Thursday, November 19, 2009 another impressive collection formed by
William H. Gross – his collection of Important Postage Stamps and Postal
History of British North America – will be sold at unreserved public
auction in New York City. And, once again, both Sue and Bill Gross
demonstrate their remarkable generosity by donating the entire sales
proceeds to the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.
The Gross Collection of British North America is a relatively small (133
lots), but a remarkable assemblage of highly desirable and seldom seen
rarities of the British North America. There is no question this will be
one of the most anticipated auctions of the fall season.
As with all Spink Shreves auctions, bidders may participate in the auction
– live on the Internet – during the sale. Please see our website
www.SpinkShreves.com for details of this exciting bidding option
The Gross Collection of British North America will be appropriately honored
and preserved in a special hardbound all-color auction catalog. It has been
similarly designed much like his catalogs for the now famous sales of his
magnificent Great Britain collection (which last year realized the highest
amount for any single stamp auction ever conducted), his Scandinavia
collection in May of 2008 and his British Empire from October 2008. These
and any future Gross Collection sales catalogs will certainly form an
incomparable “set” for any philatelic library.
Catalogs for the William H. Gross Collection of Important Postage Stamps
and Postal History of British North America are now available for $40.00
each ($50.00 to non-U.S. addresses). Orders may be placed online using a
credit card at www.SpinkShreves.com or by calling 800-556-7826 or
972-788-2100.
