A carefully prepared sale, at your own pace
01 · Present your collection
Email us and let us know that you wish to sell. Include the countries, periods, number of albums and the town where the collection is located. Attach a few overall views, representative pages and any certificates; there is no need to photograph every stamp for this first contact.
02 · Understand its value
We examine the stamps, letters, and sets to identify elements that deserve special attention. A photograph allows for an initial assessment; important pieces may require direct examination.
03 · Freely choose the next step
The initial assessment helps you understand the interest of your collection; it is not a purchase offer. If a purchase is possible, we present a separate offer and its terms after examining the necessary material. You remain free to accept or decline it.
From family albums to specialised sets
We study stamps from France and worldwide, former colonies, unused and used stamps, booklets, miniature sheets, old letters, covers, and philatelic archives.
A small, specialised selection can be more valuable than a large number of incomplete albums. We prioritise examining the entire collection before suggesting a way to sell it.
Understanding a purchase offer
Condition, rarity and demand matter more than the number of albums. A catalogue value is not a purchase offer. Read about our valuation method to understand what we consider before making a possible offer.
Before the appointment: preserve the essentials
Keep the existing classification, certificates, and annotations. Do not peel stamps from their letters, do not clean pieces, and do not discard a document because it seems ordinary to you.
Our guide to useful photographs for an initial opinion will help you prepare your images. An initial conversation will determine if a direct examination is necessary.
Meet our team
Over 40 years of experience serving collectors. We receive clients in L'Isle-Adam and Pamiers, by appointment only, 7 days a week from 8 am to 8 pm, subject to availability. After an initial discussion and a review of your photographs, a visit can be considered anywhere in France, including Corsica, depending on the nature and significance of the collection. Whether a visit is needed and its arrangements are agreed with you before any appointment.
Your questions before selling
Is the first assessment free?
Yes, the first assessment and preliminary study are free. The conditions for any specific work are specified in advance.
Do I need to bring all my albums?
Start with photographs. We will indicate which sets and documents are useful for the appointment.
Do you directly buy collections?
We may offer to buy a collection when its contents are within our area of interest. The initial assessment does not guarantee a purchase offer: any offer is separate from the valuation, and its terms are explained to you. You have no obligation to sell.
Should I sell stamps one by one?
Not systematically. We study how the collection fits together, the interest of the pieces, and the practicalities of selling before advising you.
Your philatelic project
Include your town, the number of albums and any countries or periods you know about. Attach a few photographs; you do not need to know every detail before contacting us.
