Rodney A Perry (rap) has been a Philatelic trader since 1962.  Rod established Rodney A Perry Auction Galleries in 1971 and sold that enterprise 30 years later. The Auction House was rebranded as Millennium Philatelic Auctions with which Rod maintains close ties as Auctioneer and Agent.

For ten years from 1992 Rod was proprietor of Brusden-White Publishing , publisher of The Australian Commonwealth Specialists' Catalogue, established in 1926. During that decade of ownership, with the inimitable Geoff Kellow as Editor (which remains the situation), an ambitious programme to completely rewrite the catalogue was undertaken. By the time the rights to the catalogue were sold (to the consortium which bought the Auction House), the rewrite, embracing Australian Commonwealth stamp issues or their development from 1901 to 2001, was completed. The catalogue was awarded a Gold Medal at the International Exhibition ITALIA 98 .

Rod has been a collector since 1955 and presently is developing a series of cover / stationery collections which have as their common theme Australasia as a destination. Rod is the only Australian member of The Grand Prix Club International, achieved for his Grand Prix Victoria at  AUSIPEX 84 .

Our current mission is to build content on this website drawing upon an enormous accumulation of Australian and World covers and Stationery gathered during four decades of philatelic trading. The strength of this stock reposes largely in 20th century material, with a preponderance for items destined for Australasia in the case of material originating abroad.

We are proud members of ASDA , APS (member #074745), PTS , and of course APTA (Rod was President 1999-2001).

This website has been developed in association with an Industry colleague and the Smart Sales Software package which makes it happen is available for sale to interested parties. It is ideally suited to the collectables industry in general. Enquiries welcome.
