The passion for the stamp!
Mornings with Simi

Simi’s interview was prompted by the sale last week of a 12d Black at the Sparks auction in Ottowa. It hammered $292,500. Sparks auctions suggested that the stamp had been acquired by the same buyer as the 2017 similar example sister stamp at $327,000.
The interview starts at 30 seconds after the advert.
