We are delighted to introduce a wonderful collection of rare Hradčany entires created by Jiří Škaloud, a prominent Czech collector, exhibitor and expert. He achieved remarkable success at the PRAGA 2018 exhibition, where he was awarded gold medals for both of his exhibits in the postal history category. These exhibits included „Hradčany entires in the first postal rate period“ which is featured in this special auction catalogue, and „Hradčany Valuable Letters“ which will be offered in next year‘s auction.












Richard Burda’s team prepared a major auction for Saturday, September 12, featuring more than 2,700 lots. With a turnover of almost €825,000, it was the largest philatelic auction held in the Czech Republic this year. Nearly 50 bidders attended the auction room during the day, while another thousand participated online via the burda|LIVE BIDDING platform or submitted absentee bids.
The auction also featured two special premium catalogues dedicated to exhibits of Czechoslovak airmail stamps and postal history material from the collections of Bedřich Helm and Jiří Stehlík.

Alongside traditional assets such as real estate, commodities, and shares in strong companies, stamps from interwar Czechoslovakia can also represent an interesting alternative hedge against inflation. In the Czech Republic, they have traditionally attracted the greatest interest among both collectors and investors.

At the 3rd Biennale of the Treasures of World Philately, organized by the Prestige Philately Club Prague from August 29 to September 6 at Prague’s Municipal House, visitors will have the unique opportunity to see what many philatelists consider the most famous stamp in the world—the legendary British Guiana 1c Magenta.
