David Feldman has announced that the auction scheduled for 1-3 April, “will now be held during the period from June 29 to July 3rd”. (See our post of 6 March).
This does not make it clear when the stamp boxes, due to have been auctioned on 2 April, will be sold. When we know, we will keep readers informed. Their notice adds:
Bids already received will remain valid unless cancelled in the next 30 days.
All requests including scans are still possible. Please send us an email.
Hopefully, “scans” includes photographs when it comes to stamp boxes!
