The stamp calendar is already buzzing as the year closes. On December 15, Canadian Stamp Auctions opens its doors to a curated selection of Canadian stamps and postal history, while Richard Frajola’s Postal History auction spotlights the Washington/Franklin issues. The same day, the Soler y Llach auction begins, offering a deep dive into Spain and its former colonies. The following day, three major events converge: Weiss Auctions presents a mixed lot of stamps and postcards; Sparks Auctions launches its "Postal History of the World" sale featuring over 500 global items; and Archives International Auctions adds its worldwide stamp offerings to a two‑session sale. December 16 also sees the debut of the All Nations online auction, where collectors can bid on rare stamps from every continent. On December 17, Premier Auction House’s Collectibles Countdown includes a notable stamp segment, while the next day, both Gary J. Lyon and Argyll Etkin host dedicated stamp auctions, delivering rare Canadian B.N.A. material and classic British royalty pieces respectively. A late‑December highlight arrives on the 22nd with Kelleher & Rogers’ stamp auction, showcasing a broad range of philatelic treasures. The month closes with Harmers’ December 29 sale, featuring an extensive array of stamps and postal history for both seasoned and new collectors.

Looking ahead, January 2026 brings Warwick & Warwick’s live‑webcast Philatelic Auction, emphasizing diverse world collections and specialty issues. February sees Raritan Stamps’ Live Bidding Auction #106, offering roughly 1,500 lots that span Russian, Commonwealth and Asian material. March’s Mowbray Collectables stamps auction adds another heavyweight to the southern‑hemisphere market. Throughout 2026, a steady stream of events—Grosvenor’s Cyprus and Gibraltar collections, Centennial’s live auction, Ace Stamp Auctions No. 37 with world‑wide rare single stamp lots, Rasdale’s Public Auction #466, and Philas’ upcoming sale—underscore a growing appetite for niche regional series, postal history narratives, and digital participation. Collectors can expect continued emphasis on online catalogues, pre‑registration, and virtual bidding, ensuring that the stamp market remains vibrant and accessible well into the spring season.
