The stamp auction catalogues.
We are printing a hard copy of the auction catalogue prior to every
auction. It is printed in full colour and includes approx. 150 to 180
pages. Vendors and regular buyers receive them free of charge. As a
service to inactive customers - and collectors who just want to be kept
updated, we have established
a subscription system.
This is a quite typical front page of an auction catalogue from us.
A nature photo combined with a motive from philately, most often one
of the items in the auction. The reason for this is to combine our
interest in nature photographing with philately in order to freshen
up the layout a bit.
Over the years we have received many positive responses from catalogue
receivers all over the world. We are very pleased to learn that our catalogues
are considered collectors items as well as the items they present. Elements from
our catalogues are also easily recognizable in catalogues from other companies.

The subscription fee is USD 50 or Euro 40, valid for the 3 next catalogues and
the correspondent lists of prices realised. We are subsidizing this as printing
and postage cost us a lot more. Please visit our page
subscription, dealing with
relevant details.
Occasionally we issue pamphlets, brochures and other printed information.
These are normally distributed in larger numbers than the catalogues, which
means you are not guaranteed the catalogue for the upcoming auction if you
just have received a pamphlet.
Catalogue # 71, November 24. and 25. 2006.
If you think you deserve a free tryout copy of our next catalogue,
please send us an email telling the reason for you demand, including you
complete name and address, collecting preferences etc. Due to our paying
subscribers, we must limit the free catalogue to just one. Having said
this, we emphasize that regular customers will receive catalogues on
regular basis, free of charge.
Catalogue # 72, April 20. and 21. 2007.
We are calculating the number of catalogues issued very carefully in
order to limit this important cost. The catalogues are sent out from
Oslo in one batch. After this day it may be too late to order the
catalogue as we must reserve the remaining stock for customers attending
to the auction.
The Internet version of the catalogue is pretty
much the same as the printed one. The illustrations are smaller in order to
make downloads smooth and easy.
The Internet version of the auction catalogue is available for
download about the same time as the hardcopy version is posted. Many of
our customers are fine with the pdf-version and are in no need for the
hardcopy. We are, however, happy to learn that there still is a great
demand for receiving the original catalogue by post. It has its own
place in the bookshelf in philately rooms "all over the world".
If you would like to be given a message when the next Internet
catalogue is ready for downloading, you should be sure we have your last
updated mail address.
You may fix this right now!
A great deal of the lots in an auction are presented to the market for
the first time, some of them are very rare and important.

We are producing the auction catalogues ourselves in our office, and we
deliver everything ready for printing to a ftp-server for further processing.
Erik Olafsen is bringing scans and text together in an optimal layout with good
assistance by Maria Grønvold and Harald Svendsen. Kjell Germeten has taken the
pictures and is responsible for the systems.
