On Friday, May 16, 2008 the impressive collection of Scandinavian rarities formed by William H. Gross will be sold at unreserved public auction in New York City. And, as is typical of the remarkably generous nature of both Sue and Bill Gross, the entire sale proceeds will benefit an important and worthwhile charity - the Millennium Villages Project at the Earth Institute. The Gross Collection of Scandinavia, while relatively small in the number of lots offered (110), will be regarded as an important auction event in the field of Scandinavian philately. Several of the most recognizable and valuable rarities from Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden are found in the auction - with particular emphasis on the classic first issues of Finland. As with all Spink Shreves auctions, bidders may participate in the auction - live on the internet - during the sale. Please see our website www.SpinkShreves.com for details of this exciting bidding option. The Gross Collection of Scandinavian rarities will be appropriately honored and preserved in a special hardbound all-color auction catalog. It has been similarly designed much like his catalog for the now famous sale of his magnificent Great Britain collection, which last year realized the highest amount for any single stamp auction ever conducted. These and any future Gross Collection sales catalogs will certainly form an incomparable “set” for any philatelic library. Catalogs for the William H. Gross Collection of Scandinavia are now available for $40.00 each ($50.00 to non-U.S. addresses). Orders may be placed online using a credit card at www.SpinkShreves.com or by calling 800-556-7826 or 972-788-2100. |
