We hold five auctions per year of cigarette and trade cards, postcards, theatre and cinema ephemera in addition to a twice-yearly auction of sporting memorabilia covering boxing, tennis, golf, the Olympics, motor and horse racing, cricket, rugby league and union, football and speedway. Most of these live auctions comprise 2000-3000 lots.
We also hold five postal auctions per year which are becoming very popular
and these comprise: Cigarette cards, Postcards, Ephemera and twice a year
sporting memorabilia. These sales have between 1100 and 2500 lots each
depending on whether it is a sports postal or collectors. Catalogues for
these postal sales are free.
Catalogues for our five public auctions of Cigarette cards, Postcards, Ephemera are £6 each (1800 lots approx).
Our next auction is a Postal sale which ends at midday on 19th August 2010 and as usual, the catalogue is available online.
