For the first time, the Philatelic Traders’ Society (PTS) will receive tenders for an official auctioneer among its members at the Autumn Stampex show.
The tender opened on Dec. 7, and the winner will be revealed during London 2022, the international exhibition slated for this February.
“We regularly get approached by businesses asking if they can host an auction at Stampex, and for years, we have held back; however, we know from other international exhibitions that auctions add buzz and excitement,” said PTS chair Simon Carson, who replaced Suzanne Rae in that role when her three-year term ended earlier this year. “We are excited about adding this initiative into Stampex Autumn 2022 and look forward to welcoming everyone to celebrate the first-ever event.”
Auction houses with PTS membership are invited to submit tenders online – at bit.ly/3EpJVeo – until Jan. 31.
