Dear Collector,
Welcome to Chicagopex 2013, one of the premier national stamp shows in the country.
This year’s show takes place November 22-24 at the Westin Chicago Northwest in Itasca,
Illinois – very close to Chicago O’Hare International Airport. We are the official auctioneer
of this important event. Auction viewing is in the Gallery Ballroom next to the show floor,
with the live auction taking place in the nearby Chambers Lecture Hall on Saturday and Sunday.
This sale offers more than 2,700 auction lots, with estimates close to $3 million.
We are pleased to offer a very strong selection of high quality United States and Worldwide
stamps, covers and collections. Plus, there are some very nice coin lots at the beginning of the
sale with Lots 2 and 3 – $10 and $5 Capped Bust Gold coins (estimated at $10,000 each).
Session I begins Saturday at 11am, covering Coins and USA Stamps singles, plate blocks
and sheets. The sale is chock-full of interesting and unusual material. Some highlights include
several attractive 1851 imperforates, such as a GRADED 90 example of the 1¢ (Scott #8,
Lot 62) and 12¢ (Scott #17, Lot 91). We also have several key Special Printings of the Bank
Note era, including the 15¢ Webster (Scott 199), of which fewer than 50 are known and even
fewer are sound. We offer a sound example estimated at $37,500. We have two Pan-American
INVERTS including the 2¢ (Lot 631, $45,000 estimate) and 4¢ (Lot 632, $22,000 estimate).
In Washington-Franklins, we are offering one of the RARE 4¢ bluish papers (Lot749, $23,000
estimate). There are even a few modern rarities, such as one of six known plate blocks of the
black-violet color error of the Prominent Americans issue, listed for the first time in the 2014
Scott Specialized (Lot 1497, $5,000 estimate). In addition, we feature 82 lots of fascinating
EFO material, some of which won’t break the budget.

Session II starts at 11am on Sunday, covering British & Foreign singles, USA &
Worldwide covers and collections. Of particular note in our covers section is Lot 2366,
a gorgeous example of one of only 14 known covers intended and marked for the ship
‘Titanic’. This one may well be the best surviving example. Of special interest is a sheets
grouping of Korea (Lots 2089-2099 and 2391), part of a long dormant collection with several
presentation books and rare sheets. But the great strength in Session II is in our collections and
accumulations, which top well over $500,000. More than half of this is found in U.S. collections
alone. Plan to dig in and spend awhile viewing these lots, there’s much to be found.
