I was wondering if anyone has had experience selling, or consigning a collection to Dutch Country Auctions.
Im a former childhood collector, and I
inherited my uncles fairly large lower to mid level collection.
Approximately 100 albums, binders, stockbooks.
A lot of mint, unhinged from late 70's to late 80's from countries such as Japan, France, Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man.
World wide collection, with a large footprint.
I've catalogue a lot of it and I believe the catlog value ( which I know is a small percentage to selling value) falls possibly somewhere between 50 and 75k.
I don't believe it's right for a Kelleher, Siegel, etc, because it's more mid level with lots of volume.
I live close enough where I could drive to Dutch auctions and let them look through it, etc.
Does anyone know or have experience of their integrity with people's collections in the appraisal, consignment and auction process.?
My concerns are that with the sheer volume of the collection, I can't obviously note everything that's there and worry about stamps that could be valuable, or just large amounts, 'falling through the cracks'
Any advice or experience wit Dutch Country A
Auctions, or suggestions on other places to use (obviously cost of shipping collection would be prohibitive, approx 22 cartons) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
