The anniversary year of 2018 reached Czech philately in the best shape. It was this year when the greatest rarities of the First Republic shone on the auction stage to enrich prestigious collections and exhibits. For years, they will become inaccessible, leaving the market with echoes of their record prices. We have witnessed something entirely extraordinary, something worth retaining and recording. Thus, the idea of releasing this publication of auction records of Czechoslovak stamps from 1918-1939 was born. |
