I was wondering if anyone has had experience selling, or consigning a collection to Dutch Country Auctions.
I'm a former childhood to late teen's collector, and I inherited my uncle's fairly large lower to mid-level collection.
Approximately 100 albums, binders, stockbooks.
A lot of mint, unhinged from late 70's to early 90's from countries such as Japan, France, Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man, Iceland, and many, many others.
The classic album (up to 1940) I've catalog valued around 20k.
Its a huge world wide collection, with different specialties, ie. US plate blocks, Israel, Japan, and others.
I've catalogued 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, maybe 100k?
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 Country Auctions and let them look through it.
Does anyone know or have any experience with regard to 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 with Dutch Country Auctions, or suggestions on other places to use (obviously cost of shipping collection would be prohibitive, approx 22 boxes) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
