Current Projects
+ Wanted for Purchase

Sperati Website - In 2019 I purchased the extraordinary collection of Jean de Sperati material formed by the late Carl Walske, co-author with Robson Lowe, of the The Work of Jean De Sperati II book published by the RPSL in 2001 that included previously unlisted forgeries. The book updated and added significantly to the known forgeries recorded in the earlier book published by the British Philatelic Association. I have built-out a dedicated website that includes 1200 dpi resolution images of almost all known Sperati forgeries including several that are not previously reported in the literature. The site is: Sperati.org.

Wanted For Client Projects - On behalf of various clients I am actively buying exhibit quality covers, including rarities, in the following areas:

United States Postal History - I wish to purchase high quality fancy stampless, pony express covers, inbound mail to the U.S. with exceptional frankings (1855-1875), rare New York Foreign Mail cancels on cover, great Texas postal history including Confederate period rarities. Also, all US and CSA exceptional quality covers pre 1900.

Foreign Postal History - I wish to purchase US stamps used from abroad as well as pre 1865 classic covers of the world, including the rarities for a stamp on cover collection.
