As you can see we are not exaggerating when we say there is something to interest everyone.
As part of our continual process for improving the service we offer we have created a new symbol ↕
to follow an extrapolated catalogue value, e.g. $2000↕. Typical extrapolations are 40% of the
catalogue value for hinged mint when the catalogue only provides values for MUH, 200% for MUH
when the catalogue value is only for mint hinged. We hope you find this change helpful.

HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM OUR CATALOGUE[These notes are offered as a guide to understanding the information given as symbols.]
1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it has a P after the lot number then ithe lots is illustrated in the catalogue. All lots have at least 1illustration on our website, and many will have multiple illustrations.
2. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot:** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g.V Used, Very fine. F Used, FineG Used, Good H Used, Heavy.U Used,quality unspecifiedW Unused, no gum D Piece* Cover, card or Postal Stationery S Stamp (“Postmarks” lots)
The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from ‘A’ to ‘D’. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, tocovers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded ‘A’ is very fine; it has no faults. ‘B’ items are fine and may have minorimperfections. A ‘C’ item will exhibit obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated ‘D’. Occasionally, an item in truly superb conditionwill be rated ‘A+’. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which one would normally expect to be in veryfine to superb condition.An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an ‘A-’. This may be a stamp with writing or a hingeremainder on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver’s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together.A book may have a previous owner’s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an ‘A-’ or ‘B’ is a matter of degree.
3. The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading ‘Postmarks’. For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ relates to centring. ‘A’ stampsare very well centred; ‘B’ stamps are slightly off-centre; ‘C’ stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly intothe design; ‘D’ stamps are badly off-centre, with the perforations well into the design. [NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated
issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19th Century American issues. However, it should be understoodthat for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus ‘C’, and even ‘D’, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such issues a ‘B’stamp will be above-average and an ‘A’ stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.]Following the letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ is a number ‘1’ to ‘4’. A stamp with all perforations intact is ‘1’. One or two short perfs, or normal roughperforations, will drop the grading to ‘2’. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result ina ‘3’ grading. A stamp with major perforation faults will be a ‘4’. [NB: A stamp graded ‘A1’ is well-centred with all perforations intact. Inmany cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm. However, for many issues, ‘B2’ or even ‘C3’ may be normal and quiteacceptable.]For lots listed under the sub-headings “Postmarks” and “Ship/Paquebot Markings”, this column gives a grading for quality of thestrike, and completeness. Quality is graded from ‘A’ (very fine) to ‘D’ (poor). Completeness is graded from ‘1’ (complete) to ‘5’(identifiable only). ‘+’ is used for superb strikes; ‘-’ is used for postmarks which are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit shortof the mark.
4. The 5th column contains the general description of the of the lot and should be self-evident with one exception. When a catalogue valueis extrapolated the value is followed by a ↕, e.g. $2000↕. Typical extrapolations are 40% of the catalogue value for hinged mint when thecatalogue only provides values for MUH, 200% for MUH when the catalogue value is for mint hinged.The following notes apply specifically to postmark description.Whenever possible postmarks will be described in full, except that the top portion of a postmark is only spelt out when it differs from thepost office name or requires some clarification. Bracketed shaded text within a description indicates that these characters cannot beread, while greyed characters are hard to read or are only partly present, as is the case when part of the postmark is on the edge of astamp. Very large or small letters are represented by large and small fonts respectively; small fonts are particularly used to indicate thepresence of small nylon wheels in the datestamp. The following example illustrates these points:
'[POST] OFFICE/21DE86/GARAH'.For postmark lots the condition of the postmark is the most important aspect of our descriptions. Minor defects in the stamp or cover arementioned only when the value of the item is significant. Naturally, major defects will always be described.
5. The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.
6. The last column is the estimate. The reserve is almost always 75% of the estimate and bids below the reserve will not be considered. 7. No GST is added to the hammer price. The vendors have accepted responsibility for any tax payable.8. We use the following standardised abbreviations:
