Think carefully!!

Suppose you have a major collection of Mexico and you're ready to sell. You could give it to a European auction company that will take a higher commission and a bigger bite out of the buying power of the participants (taxes, high buyer's premium, travel or agent expenses). You could give it to a big general auction house in the U.S. that knows or cares little about Mexico and will give it to hired help to process (with uneven results). You could sell it outright, but even assuming you know someone who's rich enough to buy the whole thing, who is going to give top dollar for anything other than the select items they actually want? The odds are heavily against a favorable outcome. You could sell off some of the better pieces - that's usually easier. But those are not only the ones that would probably bring record prices in an auction but they are also what will lend excitement to the whole collection and make its sale an event.

Auction is your best option, and if you are going to auction your collection:

I've collected Mexico since 1968, have been a professional philatelist for over 25 years and have run my own auction business since 1989. I know the business, and I know Mexican stamps. I wrote the handbook on the Revolution and the specialized catalog for the 19th Century. My auction catalogs are meticulously produced with descriptions that are detailed and authoritative. The black and white illustrations are the best in the business, and color is available for properties of high value (see my sale #8 catalog for color that is realistic - not the muddy and over-saturated work one sees all too often). I attend to every detail myself with care and with a passion for Mexican philately.

And no one gets better prices!

Proven results. Proven reliability.
