Press Release Body: One of the largest online dealers in stamps and collectables in the UK has
launched a monthly live auction, to be held in the village of Stoke Poges, near
Slough.

The Ten O\'Clock Show Ltd, based in South Leicestershire, has sold more postage stamps on
the internet than any other dealer in Europe over the last three years.

The first sale, held on Sunday June 22nd, will feature several hundred lots
including box-lots, albums, ranges, sets and singles, featuring genuine Penny
Blacks, Victorian British Empire stamps, German wartime occupation issues, early
Russian postal history, modern autographed covers, vintage postcards, coins,
cigarette cards, toys and much more. There will be large collections of material
including from virtually every major country, as well as many obscure states. The
\'Great Britain\' section is extensive. Estimates range from just £10 to £1,000 plus,
so there will be something for all budgets. Viewing will take place from 12pm to
3pm. The auction will commence at 3.30pm.

Andy Ridley, the company\'s chief philatelist, explained \"Our business has built its
reputation on selling large collections intact and although we provide detailed
photograph of collections online not all collectors are comfortable with buying over
the internet. We get an enormous amount of telephone calls and emails from potential
buyers who want to buy a particular collection, but would like to see it for
themselves first. We are now giving them the opportunity to do that. We want our
live auctions to be a social event for collectors - a chance to meet others who
share a common interest.\"

Following the first sale, auctions will be held on the fourth Sunday of every month.
The venue is The Village Centre, Rogers Lane, Stoke Poges, Slough, Berks SL2 4LP.

\"Most of our customers are based in the South-East of England, Interest is
particularly strong in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire,
Middlesex, Surrey, Hampshire and Sussex. Stoke Poges is ideally located, as it is
close to the M25, M40 and M4. The excellent road links should make the sales
accessible to most collectors in London and the Home Counties.\" added Ridley.

The venue has free parking and disabled access. No admission fee will be charged.
