12-11-2021 NobleSpirit Newsletter: Prices Realized from 1st Three Catalogue Experience Auction Sales

The NobleSpirit catalogue experience unique to eBay.
First three catalogue auction results

Every day brings a new day. So, while it can be a thrill to browse NobleSpirit listings daily to discover new treasures as they present themselves spontaneously, there is also a distinct necessity among the very same spectrum of collector or investor from novice to specialist to participate in an organized focused environment. That is what a catalogue experience brings to the table and so much more.

While the excitement of a serendipitous adventure can be an exhilarating moment in time beyond description, the many benefits that lead time bring in terms of exposure, research and planning are just as valuable


To demonstrate this point all 3 catalogue auctions #1 FDC, #2 British and #3 China demonstrated consistent high proportional sale prices to catalogue value. #1 FDC and #2 British majority of realizations exceeded 50-70%.China systematically realized over 60% - and in many cases up to 200% of catalogue value!

Our next catalogue auction sale (exclusive to eBay) will be in January. A specialized United States mint and used collection, featuring some great seldom seen rarities.

The sale will be available for viewing and bidding as usual on our Meridian technology platform and available for access to eBay on Stamp Auction Network

Conversations with Philatelists Interviews a Legendary Political Family

Hon. John H Sununu, former White House Chief of Staff, and former Governor of New Hampshire invites Michael Cortese Exec. VP, managing partner of NobleSpirit and Charles Epting, CEO of HR Harmer into his home to discuss the passion for stamp collecting that has embraced the heart of 4 generations of his family. 'My grandfather had a unique style of dealing in artifacts, any country he went to he would first learn the language. So, the family legend is that he spoke 17 languages'.

They are joined by his son, Hon. John E Sununu former US NH Senator and fmr member of The House of Representatives; brother of the current Governor of New Hampshire, the Hon Gov. Chris Sununu. "These stampless New Hampshire covers seem to have mysteriously appeared after my father [Hon JH. Sununu] discovered eBay." From there he takes Michael and Charles through a fascinating journey through a world class baseball card collection of thousands of early graded cards, culminating with an incredible personal story of a great baseball card rarity of which only 100 exist.

The excitement in the room is as palatable as the thrill of the show and tell, an exhilarating prelude to the fascinating unique stories they have to tell.

It is the interview of a lifetime, offering precious insight that few experience. Rarely does one have the opportunity to share intimately in the life experience and deep passions that shape the view of world leaders.
