There is one that specializes in that material. I don't remember its name right now. I've been with two young grandsons all day, and my mind right now is mush.

I believe that Michael Rogers used to be the "go to" auction house for Asian philately. He has merged with Kelleher and the firm is now named Kelleher & Rogers.
I have not had any dealings with anyone involved in either firm and the I would take the usual precautions and seek advice from someone who has had dealings prior to making any commitments.

Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of. I was searching for them on the internet.

Check them out as Webpaper advised. Also check with the American Stamp Dealer's Association and the American Philatelic Society for references.

I know several people who've sold early Japan material through Dynasty Auctions in Hong Kong. Those sales were in the 7-figures each.
Dynasty is now Kelleher, plus it has Michael Rogers with it now (which is where I would've gone in the past), so that's some anecdotal evidence to support them. (I have no connection with them whatsoever.)

Be aware they do charge a buyers premium and have a minimum of around 75% of valuation as a bid.

Thanks, I'm actually looking at an auction house for selling, not purchasing.
Has anyone dealt with "INTERAISIA AUCTIONS? http://www.interasia-auctions.com/cgi-bin/home.php

Thanks for the advice.
I ended up using John Bull in Hong Kong with amazing results (2 - 4 x the estimate).
That gave me enough to finally launch my online store.

I'm curious if you had to send your lots to Hong Kong, or did they have a representative in Canada to come to your home, or to whom you could go to consult?
