A success story
We have been accumulating this know-how since 1970, with outstanding success. One of many highlights has been a Guinness Book of Records listing for the world’s largest stamp auction by volume of sales.

Rapp auctions are an important showcase and meeting place for the international philatelic and numismatic business. Year after year, thousands of collectors submit postal bids, and hundreds of collectors, dealers, agents and experts from several dozen countries attend in person. Over the decades, these demanding buyers have relied on the efficient services of our team of leading experts and up to seventy staff.

Our customers know from experience that they can expect results. Thousands of individuals, dealers, investors, probate administrators and public institutions from all over the world, with a particular focus on Germany, Austria and Switzerland, have already put their trust in us. Our qualifications also persuaded the Royal Philatelic Society, whose patron is the Queen, to use us to auction the spectacular Alma Lee collection of classic Swiss stamps for 1.9 million Swiss francs. As a 100-percent family-owned Swiss corporation, we have so far auctioned stamps worth a total of 400 million Swiss francs for our clients.
