Preparing for Auction and starting to image for the December auction

Today has been a hectic day, with getting things set for the auction coming up this Saturday at Fakenham Racecourse. Those who cannot make it to Fakenham can bid online via http://www.the-saleroom.com. In addition to this it was necessary to start imaging for the December auction since there are only two weeks between the two auctions.

Also a class from twitter: in an example of self-inflicted gunshot wounds to both feet a member of UKIP contrived to mistake Westminster Cathedral for a mosque!!

Here are some pictures for you…

Imaging for the May Sale finished at last.

The imaging for James and Sons May auction is now finished, and the printed catalogues should be available early next week, with online catalogues being available at www.the-saleroom.com or www.jamesandsonsnorfolk.com at around the same sort of time.

Once I finished the stamp lots, there were some postcards, some first day stamp and coin covers and some collections of military buttons to do.

Since I have been imaging all day today I have lots of good pictures for you…

Some South African stamps are right-angled triangles, but this is the first time I have seen equilateral triangles in this context

As well as looking good this stamp had the additional merit of being the last I had to image for this month's sale.

Databasing, Imaging and a busy day in Cambridge tomorrow

I managed to get some good work done on the database today, and to image some more lots for the May sale. I now have invoices and vendor advice notes sorted out, and am starting to assemble some detail about stock for the May sale. I hope that I will be able to handle the May auction with my system, which will be stage two.

Today’s imaging was quite interesting, featuring a variety of lots.

Tomorrow I will be in Cambridge for most of the day taking part in various projects being carried out at the Autism Research Centre on Trumpington Road. I have just been doing some online bits in preparation for this.

As usual when I have been imaging I have some highlights for you…

After selecting a sample of four cards to serve as an image for lot 175 I then did a detailed image of this one for myself. So successful was this 1931 design that every urban rapid transit system on the planet now uses a schematic diagram of this type.
