After 40+ years, 25 of which were  in conducting public auctions for thousands of outside owners (consignors), we have recently changed our business to utilize this experience as Consignor Consultants. See the 'Services Provided' page for a full explanation.

If you are not familiar with our company and your first contact with us is online, we would be pleased to hear from you. Please let us know of your collecting needs. We may be able to help you reach your goals?

Canada #23In brief, you should know the following about our firm: We have been leading Philatelic Professionals since 1976. We began conducting philatelic auctions in March, 1985 and held our final sale 25 years later, during May, 2010. We have been responsible for providing outstanding stamp and cover sales services to collectors since we started in business.

Our Brick and Mortar Gallery is located at 6695 Highland Road, Suite #101, Waterford, Michigan 48327-1967. We have been at this North West of Detroit area location since 1989. Previously, our Gallery was located in Birmingham, Michigan and before that in Southfield, Michigan.

Canada's most valuable stamp - sold in 1989 by our frm for $165,000.00Our specialty is in the area of British Commonwealth (especially British North America and Canada) as well as United States philately. Our regular customers particularly value our proper descriptions that are determined by our depth of research.  

Our involvement at all levels of the marketplace assure you  of proper treatment of your collection or single rarity - that will  ultimately lead to the highest prices possible..

United States Graf  Zeppelin Issue in blocks                                                                                                                          From After 25 years conducting public auctions  we have recently changed our focus to a more service related business.  We anticipate that we will in the future, from time to time, offer small specialty auctions on line with full images provided. This is a deviation from our old regularly scheduled General Auction Sale format.

WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR COLLECTIONS & SINGLE ITEMS TO BUY OUTRIGHT, OR TO TAKE ON CONSIGNMENT.  If you have material you are contemplating the sale of, please contact us.  Our  customers have an insatiable appetite for better material.

 Call us now for your best offer and/or  for the best advice available on the internet.   An outright sale may not be the best avenue for you to travel. The auction or private treaty route may make more sense for your personal circumstance.

If so & we feel that you can benefit by another of our services, we will tell you so & make a recommendation that will benefit both of us. See 'The Services we Provide' page for information on a very special program that is receiving many converts to this new system of sale.

If an outright sale does indeed make sense, rest assured that our offer will be fair. In either case you will know that your wishes are being addressed.

You owe it to yourself to contact Charles by phone at 248-666-5333.       A frank discussion of your needs & options is in your best interest.                 We are certain that you will be ever thankful that you did.
