June, 2009 - Sparks Auctions Ltd.
The material offered by Sparks Auctions seems to get better with each
auction. This sale had strength throughout. We particularly liked the
Jubilees, Admirals and Modern varieties that were beautifully displayed
in the catalogue. We offer a sampling below:

We have only shown
a very small selection of stamps from the sale. What you see above is
some of the finer material which, other than the modern varieties, attracted
