FSCC auction December 2019


Some two dozen bidders participated in today's auction of the Filipinas Stamp Collectors' Club held at Manila. Close to 500 philatelic and nonphilatelic lots were offered.

Electric irons, mugs and other stuff were raffled off to members and all partook of refreshments (sushi, chicken empanada, etc) during the Christmas fellowship.

Shown above is a pane of 50 imperforate Boy Scout stamps of 1948 that I won as one of six different sheets in a folder.

APO auction December 2019

With only ten bidders participating in today's auction of the APO Philatelic Society, it was indeed a buyer's market, with many lots selling just for their starting bids.

Competition was stiff, however, for some philatelic lots that had open bids!

Shown here is a pane of 100 Jose Rizal official stamps of 1964 that I won.

With only 380 lots or so of philatelic and numismatic interest the sale was over in less than two hours.
