BLOCKS OR SHEETS AND THElR GUM: Minor separations are the rule, rather than the exception, in the case of blocks or sheets of any size. A few separation s- arou nd four perf s per row--do not affect the value of a block or sheet and are not grounds for the return of a lot. EST IMATED VALUES: If an estimated cas h value is given , it is shown in the descr iption. It is used where the lot is large or where the actual value has little relation to the cata logue price. It represe nts the auctio neer 's apprai sal of the true MARKET value of a lot and the figure is invariably close to the actual rea lization .

The Dominican Republic is well known for having a number of the greatest baseball players in the world as residents, less well known is the fact that the Dominican Republic has a wonderfully active and thriving philatelic community, which is also disproportionately large when compared to the size of the population of this beautiful country. In addition, the D ominican Repu blic enjoys a long philatelic tradition that we believe will be augmented by reaffirming the popularity and demand for the country's rare and scarce issues. We are pleased and honored to be offering today material from five outstanding collectors, including the intact collection formed by Fernando Baez, as well as individual stamps and covers from other great collections, including Kelvin Angullo and Dr. Jose Gilberto Guerra S. This auction brings together a number of great rarities, often vastly undercatalogued by Scott. Since many scarce items make very infrequent auction appearances, it is very easy to understand why the catalogue editors are behind the true market values. For examp le, two stamps in this auction have been unlisted in the Scott catalogue since 1895 because the editors were unable to confirm their existence. They have been quietly and comfortably residing in collections in the Dominican Republic -- until now when they make their first auction appearance in at least 110 years -- and maybe ever. David Coogle and I have enjoyed several trips to the Dominican Republic recently, and this auction reflects those visits with its multiple consignments of scarce and rare items. We look forward to presenting additional material in the future.

The Fabulous Fernando Baez Collection of Dominican Republic Offered Intact as Received , a highly comprehensive and vo luminou s collection and accumulation of tens of thousands of stamps and many hundreds of covers arranged on album pages and housed in 22 Scott Specialty albums , plus eleven other albums or stockbooks , all filling five large cartons . All areas of Domin ican Republic philately are extensively cove red and virtua lly comp lete from I 865 to 2003 , including classics , regular issues and commemoratives between Scott # 1/ 1402, semi -postals from B l-B5 l , air posts from C l-C397 , air post semi-posta ls from CB J-CB30 , air post officials , spec ial deliveries from EI-El 3, insured letter stamps from G 1-0 66, postage dues from JJ-123 , official s from O 1-0 32, postal tax stamps and air post postal tax stamps from RA l-RA8a , these are represe nted by mint and used singles, mint and used blocks of four and larger multiples , covers , used and unused postal stationery enti res and cut squares , an extraordinary array of errors and varieties unlike any other collection we have ever had the pleasure to offer, both Scott listed and unlisted , imperfs. and part perfs. , fakes and forgeries , essays , proofs and specimens , bisects , exte nsive cancellations , first day and flight covers , new issue bulletins , reven ues, etc ., with extensive duplication throughout , but especia lly so on the ear lier material. The scarce and sought-after first three issues are strongly represented starting with Scott # I (two mint and four used , one with P.F. certificate) , 2 (four used , one with P.F.C.) , 3 (two mint and two used , one with P.F.C.), 4 (two mint and three used , one w ith P.F.C.), 5 mint and used , the rare and und ercataloged 6 used , 7 (mint and eleven used) , 9 (fifteen mint including two pairs and 11 used , one with Sismondo certificate) , IO mint and used , 11 (four mint and seven used) , 13 (five mint and four used) , 15 (three mint) , 16 (ten mint and one used) , 23 (m int and two used) , 24 mint , 26 (two mint and one used) , 27 (two used) and plentiful 28-31 both mint and used. The co llection continues in more or less the same vein to the J 930 's, with the more modem issues typically being represented by mint singles and blocks , F.D.C. 's and new issue bulletins , but also often with whatever varieties might be found . Some of the more noteworthy and stronger later section s include the 1883 surc harges with may varieties and rarities suc h as 69 mint and used (not current ly Scott listed) , 70 mint and used and 84 with " 5/francos " surcharge , the nonScott listed U.P.U. overprints , the I 899 issue including imperfs in fu ll sheets , 1901-1906 definitives with 142 (two mint and two used) , I 904-1905 surcharges on postage dues with the rare and undercataloged 162 mint as well as many dozens of varieties and errors , the 1915-21 dated overprints with 220b-220d in mint sing les and blocks of four (listed but not priced in Scott) , and the 1930 air post postal tax issue replete with errors and variet ies. The condition is typica lly mixed with some faults or tropically toned , but overall far nicer than what is genera lly encou ntered. An irreplaceable one -cou ntry collection representing one man's philatelic lifetime 's work.

COND ITIONS OF SALE THE PLACING OF A BID SHALL CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE OF THE COND ITIO NS OF SALE BIDDI NG

Unless announced otherwise by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, a numbered in the printed Cata logue. H.R. Harmer , as agent for the consignor or vendor, shall regulate the bidding and shall detennine the manner in which the bidding shall be conducted. Hanners re erves the right to withdraw any lot prior to sale (without liability to any potentia l purchaser or agent), to re-offer any withdrawn lot. to divide a lot or to group two or more lots belonging to the same consignor or vendor, and to refuse any bid believed not made in good faith. The highest bid acknow ledged by the auctioneer shall prevail. Should a dispute arise between bidders (inc luding a dispute between a noor bidder and the auctioneer acting on behalfofa mail bidder, consignor or vendor), the auctioneer alone shall determine who is the successfu l bidder and whether to reoffer the lot in dispute. Should a dispute arise after the sale, the auctioneer's sale records shall be conclusive. On all lots sold, a com mission of 15% on the hammer price is payabl e by the buye r. (a) The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of clients (and consignors or vendors) but shall not be liable for errors and omissions in exec uting instructions to bid, however received, and whether such errors or omissions be those of the bidder or agent or those of the auct ioneer. (b) All lots are offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the consignor vendor. (c) It may also be assumed that all consignors have been advanced monies against the sale of their stamps and Harmers therefore has a security interest over and above the normal auction commission. (d) Purchases made by a consignor or vendor or his agen t on his own lots shall be considered as a sale subject to commissions and sales tax as appl icable . (e) Agents are responsible for all purchases made on beha lf of their clients, unless other arrangements have been confirn1ed in writing prior to the auction.

EXHIBITION

(a) On Premises Inspection and Postal Viewi ng. Ample opportunity is given for on premises inspection prior to the auction date, and, upon written request and at Ha,mers discretion , for inspection by postal viewing {all as detailed elsewhere in this Cata logue) . (b) Each lot is sold as genuine and correctly described , based on individual description as modified by any specific notations in this Catalogue, including but not restricted to the sect ion entitled " Key to Cataloguing". (c) Qua lity. Any lot which a purchaser considers to be incorrec tly described may be returned to Harmers wi thin two weeks of its receipt by such purchaser ("Retur ning Purchaser"), provided , however, that the same is received by Hanners within four weeks of the date of the auction; however, Hanners may, in its discretion, refuse acceptance of such returned lot. If an opin ion of a genera lly recognized authority is desired , the period of time within which a lot must be received by Hann ers will be extended in accorda nce with Condition of Sale 8. In the event that a di pule cannot be resolved by reference to a generally recognized authority, and Hanners thereupon undertakes to re-offer the lot with a description identical to the description disputed , the Returning Purchaser shall be liable for the deficiency, if any, between the proceeds of the sale to the Return ing Purchaser and the proceeds ofa sale to a subsequent purchaser. as well as for all costs and expenses of the re-sale, includ ing commiss ion, and all incidenta l damages. Any lot, the description of which is disputed, must be returned intact in the condition received by the purchaser. The following lots are not returnable except at the discretion of Harmers: (i) lots from purchasers who attended the exh ibition of the lots; (ii) lots examined by postal viewers; (iii) lots on acco unt of their appeara nce, if they are illustrated in this Cata logue; (iv) lots described as having repairs, defects or faults- for any reason; (v) U.S. stamps (through 19 18) for reasons of paper inclusions, (vi)no encapsu lated stamps unless originally offered in this condition . (d) A uthenticit y. Any lot which is declared otherw ise than genuine by a generally recognized authority is returnabl e, provided such lot is rece ived by Hanners within four weeks of the date of the auction. Proof that a generally recogn ized authority dec lines to express an opinion is normally grounds for the return of a lot. (e) Expenses incurred in the submis sion and the return of a lot under Condi tions of Sale 7-9 are not refunded.

(a) When an opinion from a genera lly recognized authority is not expec ted or available within four weeks from the date of the auction, the purchaser shall: (i) within seven days of rece ipt thereof submi t the lot to one of the generally recognized authorities. (ii) notify 1-larmers, in writing (and preferably on the form supplied), of such subm ission no later than four weeks from the date of the auction. Such notification shall be deemed given when rece ived by Hann ers and shall include the name and address of the authority to whom the lot has been submitted. (b) A prospective purchaser wishing to submit a lot to an authority not accepted by Hanne rs shall, prior to the date of the auction, request in writing permission for such submission and obtain confirmation of such request from Harmers. The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse a bid where the authority requested is not acceptab le on any grounds, which grounds need not be disclosed by Harn1ers. (c) Payment for lots upon which an extension of time is obtained pursuant to this Condition of Sale 8 may be made in accord with Condition of Sale 4, subject to the following (paragra ph d) and herein. (d) !fa lot is certified by a genera lly recognized authority to be other than as descr ibed: (i) the sale (and the invoice with respect thereto , if outstanding) will be cance lled; and, (ii) to the extent set forth in Condition of Sale 9, payment of the expense of certifica tion will be made to the purchaser. (e) Any lot with either a P.F. or P.S.E. cert ificate issued in the last five years is not eligible for extension.

Expenses of cert ification shall be borne by the purcha ser except where a lot is certified other than as described and is returned to Hann ers in accordance with Condition of Sale 8.
