Welcome, this is one of our mid-month R1 Auctions!
A compelling and historically rich offering: three stock book albums filled with South African Republic control blocks spanning the transformative years from the early 1980s to 1995. This period captures the final phase of apartheid, the dawn of democracy, and South Africas re-emergence on the global stage.
Key highlights include:
- 1994 Mandela Presidential Inauguration issue marking Nelson Mandelas rise as South Africas first democratically elected president, a cornerstone of modern philately.
- 1995 Rugby World Cup commemoratives celebrating South Africas iconic victory and Mandelas unifying presence at Ellis Park, a moment that symbolized national reconciliation.
- Buildings definitive series showcasing architectural heritage and postal design evolution through the decade.
Control blocks offer added value with marginal inscriptions, plate numbers, and positional dataideal for specialists and thematic collectors alike. The albums are well-organized, with crisp presentation and strong visual appeal.
