New West Coast Live-Auction House Launched

In a move that demonstrates the strength of local philately, several well-known collectors are launching a new, live auction house here in Victoria. Stéphane Cloutier (former Auction Manager with Sparks Auctions, Ottawa), Firmin Wyndels (Weeda Stamps), and Steve Johnson (former Senior Lotter with Sparks Auctions, Ottawa) have just announced the creation of Garden City Philatelic Auctions.

The trio “recognized the need for a traditional-style auction house in Western Canada, with the goal of offering a personalized and transparent experience for buyers and sellers throughout the world.” GCPA are aiming for their first auction in the fall of 2024 and are currently seeking consignments. There will be no change to Weeda Stamps operations.
