This is the one month of the year when collectors celebrate the fun
of collecting stamps. It would seem that our Canadian auction houses
have gone all out this October to capture that spirit with a record
number of sales. In reviewing their catalogues as they arrived at
our office, we have been impressed by the quality and beauty of the
offerings
We would like to share some
of the best of these with you. First we will show these as they are
being offered today, and later we will post the results as they are
received after each sale.

Next month’s commentary – the New Unitrade
Catalogue
The new Unitrade
catalogue is being released this month. This is an event we always
look forward to with great anticipation because this is the catalogue
that provides values for the many varieties amongst the Canadian stamps.
We plan to review the new edition in detail and report on it in our
November Commentary.
