As any serious philatelist will tell you, patience<\/em>\u00a0is an essential virtue if you want to assemble a topclass collection. Of course copious amounts of money can shortcut the search, but in reality even wealth has to wait for those elusive items to come to market, and if you add to the need for rarity the desire for the very best quality, then forbearance and stoicism are also qualities you will need to have in abundance. Many legendary collectors demonstrate this point and one particular philatelist who epitomised these characteristics and who had the fortitude to exhibit at the highest level on the international stage, is Angelo Lima.\u00a0 Senhor Lima is a Portuguese philatelist who collected stamps as a schoolboy and continued throughout his life and left an indelible mark on Brazilian philately – which is one of the most important philatelic countries in the world. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00a0\u00bb3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb3_5″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n Angelo Lima is passionate about the postal adhesives of his homeland Portugal, but Brazil was the place he settled professionally and which is the region he is most famous for studying and exhibiting. It\u2019s also the collection in which he won all the International competition classes he entered for his Classic Brazil, including an International Grand-Prix at PhilexFrance 1989 and the Championship Grand Prix at PhilaNippon 1991. It\u2019s worth noting he also won a Large Gold on European soil when he exhibited at the London International show in 1990.\u00a0 His collection contained nearly all the greatest and most important pieces of Brazil, from the earliest times, including the key items from the Pack<\/a>, the Kuyas (the \u201cRio\u201d collection), the Hubbard<\/a>, and from the Pacchia collections. Lima hunted down key items over decades and amassed nearly all the large multiples and all the rarest covers, and significantly the famous \u201cPack Strip<\/a>\u201d with Bull\u2019s Eye 60 reis pairs in strip of three with a 30 reis – always regarded as one of the greatest rarities of the world. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb2_5″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.davidfeldman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pack_strip_Lima_Stamps_Brazil.png\u00a0\u00bb title_text=\u00a0\u00bbPack_strip_Lima_Stamps_Brazil\u00a0\u00bb align=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb width=\u00a0\u00bb55%\u00a0\u00bb max_width=\u00a0\u00bb55%\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n This incredible collection was sold at auction by David Feldman in 1993<\/a> and also had the block of four 30 reis Interpanneaux known as the jewel in the crown of the Pracchia collection, and the Lima award winning classic Brazil was described at the time as \u00ab\u00a0clearly the greatest single collection of Brazil ever formed\u00a0\u00bb. <\/em>\u00a0His passion for the rare and important pieces extended through to the Dom Pedro issues and his lifes work was decorated with many rare and beautiful items such as a 1876, 50r blue, the exceptional block <\/a>of four with sheet margin at top displaying reversed \u201c2\u201d plate, and is the only multiple recorded with a plate number, and a 1866 500r orange<\/a> horizontal block of ten, one of three and unique showing a postmark – both of which feature in our December auction Brazil<\/a> including the \u201cBicenten\u00e1rio<\/em>\u201d Collection of the Dom Pedro Issues. Lima\u2019s Portugal, when sold in 1995, broke the record for a philatelic auction held on the Iberian Peninsula raising 226m pesetas. It contained many unique items and reflected the diligence and critical eye Lima was renowned for when assembling his classic Brazil.\u00a0 Today the \u2018Provenance\u2019 Angelo Lima is a feature in all major Brazil sales and to many connoisseurs it carries the additional attributes of quality and rarity which his collections are recognised for. Those who really understand the important philatelic heritage of classic Brazil and the great collectors of this region, will also associate the name Angelo Lima with \u2018patients\u2019 and that is why he is our \u2018Patient Philatelist\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00a0\u00bb1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_2″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.davidfeldman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Brazil_Auction_catalogue_dec22_cover-scaled.jpg\u00a0\u00bb alt=\u00a0\u00bbBrazil Stamp Auction catalogue December 2022″ title_text=\u00a0\u00bbBrazil_Auction_catalogue_dec22_cover\u00a0\u00bb align=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb width=\u00a0\u00bb76%\u00a0\u00bb max_width=\u00a0\u00bb76%\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_2″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n We invite you to discover the catalogue dedictaed to Brazil which includes the \u201cBicenten\u00e1rio\u201d Collection of the Dom Pedro Issues.<\/span><\/p>\n > Browse the lots and bid online today<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n > Download the pdf catalogue<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n > Buy the catalogue<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.16.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>You can catch-up on the previous 38 legendary collectors by clicking the links: Legendary Collectors: <\/em>Part 1<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 2<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 3<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 4<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 5<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 6<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 7<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 8<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 9<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 10<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 11<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 12<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 13<\/em><\/a><\/span>,\u00a0 <\/em>Part 14<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 15<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 16<\/em><\/a><\/span>,\u00a0 <\/em>Part 17<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 18<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 19<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 20<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 21<\/em><\/a><\/span>, Part 22<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 23<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 24<\/em><\/a><\/span>, Part 25<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 26<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 27<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 28<\/em><\/a><\/span>, Part 29<\/em><\/a><\/span>, Part 30<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 31<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 32<\/em><\/a><\/span>, Part 33<\/em><\/a><\/span>, Part 34<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 35<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 36<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Part 37<\/em><\/a>, and <\/em>Part 38<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As any serious philatelist will tell you, patience\u00a0is an essential virtue if you want to assemble a topclass collection.
