Overall: 
interesting DYK on a not as much well known area (philately auctions) for the readership. The article had been 5x expanded by the nominator. QPQ is done and Copyvio unlikely per Earwig. Pic is clear and in public domain. Good to go. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 18:49, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know if this is the case, but for safety I've added an additional source for the record price.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 13:52, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks both @Theleekycauldron: and @Paradise Chronicle: ... will wait for @Philafrenzy: to look over. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:26, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, his web page is based on an article published in Linns which is a reliable source (for such things). I have changed the ref to Linns and reinstated the bit about flaws which are mentioned in the article. Should all be OK now. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:31, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
