Guillermo Jalil - Philatino Auction #99 - ARGENTINA: Selection of good Rivadavias, including rarities
With this sale we begin to break up a nice collection of Rivadavias, with very handsome examples and good covers, varieties, colors, every printing, rare cancels and material for all the collectors who love this popular issue, which is the most collected stamp of Argentina philately. The market of Argentine stamps is very active, with a lot of demand for material of every type, but Rivadavias are by far the most sought-after and treasured stamps, even considered as philatelic investiment, what makes them increasingly scarcer and valuable. In general stamp dealers do not have large stocks, and each new collection that shows up for sale is rapidly absorbed by the market avid for new material!
