MONDAY 3 MARCH 2025, OPPORTUNITY KNOCKED FOR COLLECTORS. Phoenix Auctions in Melbourne had a public auction is #107 on Monday 3rd March starting at 10am.
The 578 lots in the auction included Cinderellas, Ephemera, Revenues & Commemorative medallions. The collection is part of Jim Parise’s collection.
Our interest was sparked by a few favourite themes: maps of Australia missing Tassie; and two advertising items designed to be dropped from planes.
