About Us
Founded by Brian Reeve in the late 1970s, Brian Reeve Stamp Auctions began as a passion for stamps, coins, and banknotes, with Brian trading at fairs across southern England. In the 1980s, we established shops in the Strand, the heart of the stamp trade while growing our mail-order business. Over the years, we expanded by acquiring respected names like Ian Andrew (Post Office Cards), Sajal Philatelics (First Day Covers), D.G. Taylor (First Day Covers), B. Alan Ltd (Errors & Varieties), and Suffolk Stamp Auctions in 1988.
Today, our auctions connect collectors and vendors worldwide. Every lot is scanned or videoed, making them easily accessible to a global audience. Most lots are sold completely unreserved, ensuring a dynamic and competitive market.
Our Auctions
Join us for our Public Auctions featuring stamps, coins, banknotes, autographs, and collectables, held every three months with live internet bidding. Mark your calendars for the last Wednesday and Thursday of January, April, July, and November, starting at 2 PM each day.
Most lots are unreserved, and all lots with an estimate of £0 are sold totally without reserve, starting at just £1 each where no postal bids are received. Our two-day events bring history to life whether it’s a rare Victorian penny, a pristine first-day cover, or an autographed gem, we handle every item with care and a promise to delight collectors and vendors alike.


We also run GB First Day Cover Postal Auctions every month. Once the catalogue is released, place your bid anytime by post, email, or online, up to the deadline on the second Thursday of the month. After the auction ends, unsold lots are available at their reserve prices (typically 80% of the estimate). Contact us promptly if you're interested in snapping up these treasures!
