Canadian Stamp Auctions

12 September, 2008 - Lex de Ment Ltd.

We welcome Lex De Ment and his wife Gloria back to the Canadian stamp auction scene. It’s a tough business, not for the faint of heart, but Lex has had a few decades of experience in the business and knows it well. For the past few years, he ran Ron Brigham’s auction business and before that he had his own business. Now he has returned to running his own show again, this time at Niagara-on-the- Lake, a beautiful spot which is where he held his first mail auction on September 12, 2008.

We present below some of the highlights from his inaugural sale. It contained a number of real beauties:

:

Lot 281 Scott 58 NH Catalogue $650 Realized $425

Lot 285 Scott 59 NH Catalogue $625 Realized $650

Lot 323 Scott 74 Catalogue $15 Realized $50

Lot 339 Scott 82 HR Jumbo Catalogue $275 Realized $475

Lot 355 Unitrade 86b Catalogue $187 Realized $170

Lot 369 Scott 92 Catalogue $500 Realized $750

What nice material! We wish Lex and Gloria much success. They could not have chosen a nicer place in which to locate their business. We look forward to their next auction which they plan to have before the end of the year.
