Page 3Phoenix Auctions - Saturday 15th September 2012

Welcome to Phoenix Auctions No.15

This auction introduces a number of changes to our catalogue layout which continue the

ongoing improvements to our overall design. The 2nd field ater the Lot Number is used to

indicate if the lot is mint or used or if it is a cover lot. We have now enhanced this column

so that it will also display a ‘B’ if it is a booklet or booklet pane lot as wll as ‘PS’ if it is a

Postal Stationery Lot.

These two changes do not affect our cross-referencing and you can still use the cross

reference list to find all the Booklet lots and all the Postal Stationery Lots. For those who

use our Website the View by Topic or Theme option enables you to select Booklets or

Postal Stationery (amongst hundreds of other options) and the webpage will show just

those lots which match your selection. This makes it very easy to browse the on-line

catalogue for just the section which interest you.

In past catalogues we had a 3rd column before the description begins. This was used to

indicate the overall quality of the lot. This column has become redundannt as we extend

our descriptions and it has now been removed. With postmark lots the postmark quality

codes have been incorporated into the description.

One of our goals have been to make our auctions a little smaller and at just over 1500 lots

we now feel this is a suitable size for our normal auctions. This means that we are able to

start this auction at 11:00am giving our Saturday morning viewers and an extra hour of

viewing time.

We welcome your feed back on these changes.

Every now and then we are given the opportunity to auction something unusual and in this

auction we are offering the first part of the collection/accumulation of Allan O. Smith from

his time in East Africa prior to WWII through to about 1950.

Allan Smith was involved with the Ethiopian Refugees first in various places in Ethiopia

and then in Regugee camps such as Isiola and Teveta in Kenya. As the War advanced he

became involved with the occupation of Eritrea and Somalia ending his time in East Africa

as the in the Civil Affairs in Merca, Somalia.

He was clearly a successful officer and rose in rank from Captain to Colonel. He was also

an avid collector and accumulated all the mail which came his way. His involvement with

Lot - 519Lot - 401Lot - 31

Phoenix Auctions - Saturday 15th September 2012Page 4

Refugees and Civil Administration ensured that he had access to a wide variety of incoming

mail much of it rarely seen. The lots from Allan Smith are identied by [Smith horde] at the

end of the description. For any one with an interest on the war-time postal history for this

region. These lots are essential viewing.

At a more local level we also have a rather nice selection of Postal History from German

New Guinea. Our front cover item the 1915 mixed GRI NWPI is rom the same collection.

The last section of the catalogue has an extensive collection of PNG postmarks, mainly on

registered cover.

Our Victorian Postmark collectors will be pleased that this auction has then final offering

from Ken Smithie’s terrific Victorian postmark collection. There is also a lovely selection of

40 highly-rated Victorian Barred Numerals.

There is clearly much much more in this auction and we hope you find something to

interest you.

How to Get the Most from The Phoenix Website.

While quite a number of our clients make full use of the many benefits our website provides, it is

obvious that most do not. So we are taking this opportunity to reintroduce these benefits to you.

The homepage provides an introduction to current auction, or highlights of the next auction as

appropriate. There are menus on the top left to provide different ways of accessing the auction lots.

Within each auction menu there are six submenus:

1. In Lot Order - this provides you with a lot order index to the auction by section headings. Simply

click on the section and it will take you straight to that part of the catalogue where you can see

each lot in order with its full description and all its images. The estimate and starting price and a

box for your bids are also displayed. Wherever the starting price is displayed it is always exactly

uptodate.

2. By Country - this provides a cross reference listing by country. You don’t need to go backwards

and forwards from the index to the catalogue listing anymore.

3. By Topic or Theme - the same as by Country but organised by topic or theme, and there are

hundreds of themes.

4. Description Search - this is used for wild card searching through auction lots. This is very

powerful and to get the most out of it please email us with search requirements so that we can set

it up for you.

5. Image Gallery - this displays every image in lot order. It is a great way to browse an auction.

6. Bulk Bid Entry - this enables you to enter your bids as a batch. So when you have worked out

all your bids you can just enter them on this screen rather than finding each lot and entering them

one at a time.

When you sign on with your Client Code and Password the full benefits are opened up to you.

There are 2 entries at the top of the auction submenues. These are:

By Collecting Interest - this shows all the lots which match your collecting interests.

My Image Gallery - this provides you with just the images for the lots you are interested in.

We ask you for your collecting interest so that we can provide you with these quick and easy ways

to view just those lots that are likely to be of interest to you.

Secondly there are new menus on the top right. These will vary from person to person and can

include any of the following:-

1. My Details - this is where you change your details and preferences

2. My Auction Bidsheet - this is the most important screen we have. It appears the instant you

enter a bid and it allows you to manage all you bids from the one screen. It always shows the exact

status of all your bids.

3. My Auction Vendor Lots - When you are a vendor this screen shows all your lots in this auction

with their current status. You always know exactly the situation with your lots.

4. My Mail Register - this shows you the details of every mailing with dates of mailing, registration

numbers, mailing addresses and which invoices are involved. It also tells you whether just an

invoice was sent or whether your lots were sent as well. Now you don’t need to call us to see if

your lots have been mailed. It is all here for you when you need it.

5. My Invoice Register - this provides the details of every invoice and you can drill down to every

lot on every invoice with their full descriptions and images. You always know exactly what is on

every invoice.

6. My Receipt Register - this provides a list of every consignment we have received from you. It

shows you every lot from each consignment with its full description and images, what auction it was

sold in and if it has not been sold what auction it is in. When you have large consignments spread

over multiple auctions it is just the screen to enable you to keep track of everything.


My Auction 15 Bidsheet.

As we said earlier My Auction 15 Bidsheet is the most important part of the website when you

have placed bids in the auction, because it provides everything you need to manage your bidding.

With this screen you can change your bids, add limits to ensure you don’t overspend, enter Credit

Card details or other special instructions. And it always shows you the current status of your bids.

The lot is highlighted when you have the top bid so it is easy to see the current situation with your

bids.

As well as being able to modify your bids there is a +5% button which increases your bid to 5%

above the current starting price. At the bottom of this webpage there is also a field to globally

increase all your bids by any percentage amount. Very useful when your bids are all way below the

starting price or you want to give yourself that extra level of safety.

The website is there to help you get the most when dealing with Phoenix Auctions. We hope you

take a little time to use it to your advantage. Remember that we are always happy to help if you

have a problem or questions.

Terms and Conditions:These are found on the rear of your printed bidsheet and on the Phoenix website. At this auction

Buyer’s commission is 15% ( plus GST.)

HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM OUR CATALOGUE[These notes are offered as a guide to understanding the information given as symbols.]

1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it has a P after the lot number then ithe lots is illustrated in the catalogue. All lots have atleast 1 illustration on our website, and many will have multiple illustrations.

2. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot:** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g.V Used, Very fine. F Used, FineG Used, Good H Used, HeavyU Used,quality unspecifiedW Unused, no gum D Piece

* Cover, card or S Stamp (“Postmarks” lots)PS Postal Stationery B Booklets or Booklet Panes

3. The 3rd column contains the general description of the of the lot and should be self-evident with one exception. When acatalogue value is extrapolated the value is followed by a ↕, e.g. $2000↕. Typical extrapolations are 40% of the cataloguevalue for hinged mint when the catalogue only provides values for MUH, 200% for MUH when the catalogue value is for minthinged.

The following notes apply specifically to postmark description.

Whenever possible postmarks will be described in full, except that the top portion of a postmark is only spelt out when itdiffers from the post office name or requires some clarification. Bracketed shaded text within a description indicates thatthese characters cannot be read, while greyed characters are hard to read or are only partly present, as is the case whenpart of the postmark is on the edge of a stamp. Very large or small letters are represented by large and small fontsrespectively; small fonts are particularly used to indicate the presence of small nylon wheels in the datestamp. The followingexample illustrates these points:

'[POST] OFFICE/21DE86/GARAH'.

After the forscription of the postmark we will indicate the overall quality of the cancel with a bracketed 2 character code. Thefirst character is A-D where A is a fine clear postmark through to D which is barely legible. The second character is a numberfrom 1 to 4 where 1 is complete including all the frame through to 4 where only 25% or less of the cancel is visible. Forexceptional strikes we will further qualify the quality code with a ‘+’ and for items which are light etc the code will be qualifiedwith a ‘-’.

For postmark lots the condition of the postmark is the most important aspect of our descriptions. Minor defects in the stampor cover are mentioned only when the value of the item is significant. Naturally, major defects will always be described.

4. The symbols in the second column, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.

5. The last column is the estimate. The reserve is almost always 75% of the estimate and bids below the reserve will notusually be considered.

6. No GST is added to the hammer price. The vendors have accepted responsibility for any tax payable.

7. We use the following standardised abbreviations:o.g. original gum opt(d) overprint(ed)d/s datestamp cds circular datestamph/s handstamp mss manuscript; handwrittenERD earliest recorded date LRD latest recorded dateo/o opened-out RLabel registration labelM/S(s) miniature sheet(s) PPC picture postcardimpt imprint mtd mountedprovl provisional wmk watermarkLDL large dateline (postmarks) SDL small dateline (postmarks)TLC,TRC,LLC,LRC Top Left Cnr, Top Right Cnr, Lower Left Cnr, Lower Right Cnr
