New door, new thematics
Some days we get so busy doing the many things which are backlogged that important things like remembering to do the blog get passed by. Yesterday we started a massive re-organization of out topical or thematic books. We have added nearly thirty books and also more closely aligned the books on the shelves with the topics found on our website.
We are still in a situation where a search from our website will show only stamps in our inventory which are found in our country books. Visitors to the store will be pleasantly surprised with the additions which are not found on the website (yet). We still have tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of lovely topicals in our red boxes. If we moved all these to our new books we would not have space. We will eventually dedicate five shelves (150 books) to stamps organized by topic or theme.
Yesterday we also continued work on a very large collection purchased over the weekend. As days go by we will report on significant groups added to our inventory.
Today we keep hearing the cling-cling-cling of a small bell. Part of our alarm system is to hear this whenever the outer front door opens. Workmen are installing our new door (we'll have a scan fairly soon) and, as a result, the movement triggers the bell about 50 times more frequently than an average day.
Those of you who have been into the store know how cumbersome the old doors were and will welcome the change.
At the end of the month I will be travelling to Halifax to thoroughly view and then bid in the Eastern Auctions sale of the "Roberts" collection. I will be able to act as agent for collectors or dealers interested in placing bids at this sale.
