At Boldon Auctions we can appraise, value, and catalogue anything from single stamps to large collections of national and international stamps. Stamp collecting has been a popular pastime over the years, shifting from a childhood hobby in the 1930s to becoming a major collecting area amongst young people in the 1960s, and now in the 2000s a specialised adult pursuit. The current market is geared towards thematic collections more than anything, and at Boldon Auctions we have held several notable single owner collections of postage stamps, including an auction of Great Britain, Channel Island and Irish stamps, Smilers Presentation Packs and First Day Covers.
