Auktionshaus Christoph Gärtner GmbH & Co. KG 50th Auction Anniversary Auction - Day 8
50th AUCTION at 9 - 10 and 21 - 26 June 2021
Dear friends of Auktionshaus Gärtner,
I could now list for you the numerous rarities that will be offered, such as the Mauritius Ball Cover (lot 1) or the world's largest space collection (lot 2) – take yourself on an exciting philatelic journey around the world.
On the occasion of the anniversary of the 50th international Christoph Gärtner Auction, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude - to all those who have supported and accompanied me up to this point in making my philatelic dreams and visions come true. Without the many people around me, I could not have made this journey. Great thanks go to my family, first and foremost to my dearly loved wife Regina and my charming daughter Carolin, who have had not only endless patience - words cannot express it - but have also moved the C.G. group forward with their innovative ideas.
I would also like to thank my whole team for their tireless efforts. They constantly meet my challenging aims and perspectives and always achieve top performance in realizing them. I am aware that I have often gone to the limits, for the success of all.
Of course, my special thanks also go to my valued customers and to all bidders and consignors for their many years of trust and loyalty. You give me and my team drive, power and motivation to continue and to constantly improve. My personal incentive is to make the next 50 auctions always special and exciting for you.
I now wish everyone good health and that one or the other secret wish comes true.
Yours
Christoph Gärtner
P.S.
