Global Stamp Auctions Heat Up as 2026 Unfolds
Stamps auction hero banner

The auction calendar for stamp enthusiasts is rapidly filling, with a clear shift toward thematic world collections and live‑online hybrids. The earliest event on the horizon is Harmers' live sale on Monday, December 29, 2025, where a broad mix of stamps and postal history will be offered to both in‑person and remote bidders. Following that, Raritan Stamps' Live Bidding Auction #106 in February 2026 promises roughly 1,500 lots, highlighting notable Russian issues, British Commonwealth material, and a wide range of Asian and European postal history.

Early 2026 sees a cluster of sales. Ace Stamp Auctions' No. 37 will close on the Sunday of its two‑day weekend in January, featuring all‑world collections, single stamp lots, and assorted box lots, all under a modest 15% buyer's premium. Harper Field’s January auction, part of its regular schedule, adds to the momentum with a varied roster that includes stamps alongside ephemera and covers. Warwick & Warwick will webcast a dedicated philatelic auction on a Wednesday in January, offering a curated selection of stamps and related postal items.

March brings Sparks Auctions' Winter Stamps and Postal History of the World sale, presenting over 500 lots that span from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, with special sections on the Holy Roman Empire mail and World War I airship postal history. Shortly after, Mowbray Collectables will host its Stamps auction on a Saturday in March, reinforcing its reputation as a leading venue in the southern hemisphere.

The spring season culminates with Grosvenor Philatelic Auctions' Spring 2026 event, slated for mid‑year, showcasing the Christopher Podger Cyprus collection, the Brympton Gibraltar series, and a focused study of the Silver Jubilee issue, among other regional highlights. Throughout these events, auction houses are emphasizing detailed catalogues released weeks in advance, flexible bidding platforms, and specialist expertise to attract both seasoned collectors and newcomers. The overall trend points to a vibrant market where historic postal artifacts and globally sourced stamp issues dominate the agenda, promising ample opportunity for discovery and acquisition.
