FSCC auction July 2019

About 20 bidders participated in today's auction conducted by the Filipinas Stamp Collectors' Club in Manila.

A little over 530 philatelic and nonphilatelic lots were offered in this sale that took less than 2 hours to be over. Participating in the action was Philippine Philatelic Journal editor Hans Becker from Cebu.

Only a few numismatists were around as there was a parallel auction at Quezon City where most of them attended. So, it was a buyer's market for them!

Shown above is a lot I won--30 bundles of Republic stamps!
