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.

An important rarity of British Empire, high value of Natal, Edward VII. £20 will be offered in our upcoming Online auction 77.
