Rasdale Stamp Company featured a total of 1,918 lots in its recently concluded Public Auction #434. The end-of-year public sale was held at the company's gallery in Westmont, Illinois. After closing pre-auction bidding on Friday November 17, 2017 at 7:00 pm (New York time), Session One of the live auction began on Saturday November 18 from 10:00 am (New York time). All bids were last updated on Sunday November 19, 2017 at 9:22 am (New York time) and the second session commenced at 10:00 am (New York time) the same day.
For its 434th public auction, Rasdale Stamp Company featured a myriad of rare stamps and other philatelic items including coins & currency, postcards, medals, sport memorabilia, postal history & stationery, supplies & literature, and covers from all over the globe. Live auction bids were place in-person on the floor of the company's gallery or via the internet using the company's web-based Live Auctions bidding platform. The highest sale price for a single lot was $11,000.00 against a catalog value of $7,000.00 for an 1847-1937 mostly used stamp collection featuring a two-page assembly of Confederate States. The second priciest lot was another mostly used collection with well developed areas in 1851-1869 issues, banknote sets up through the 90-cent issues, early commemoratives, Washington-Franklins, and airmails, and smaller sections of postage dues, officials, parcel posts, and a bit of Confederate States — all housed on Scott hingeless pages. It fetched $8,000 after doubling its catalog value of $4,000.00. Many other lots beat their catalog values and a good number went past the 1-thousand dollar mark.
