Here is just a small sampling of the letters we regularly receive:
 

Mr. Tony Maresch, 

I received the lot this afternoon, and I wanted to let you know that I am beyond satisfied! It was much more than I had hoped it would be. I expected a quality lot and I was not disappointed! Hopefully in the future I will prevail on another lot. In the future I will also make it a point to pass along my recommendation that yours is the best auction house to deal with, and that I would not recommend any other. You have a very pleased customer. Thank you for being there, dealers like yourselves make this truly the best hobby! 

Sincerely, 
Jeff Robertson

Dear Tony,

Thank you so much for the professional way in which you handled the sale of my stamp collection. I built up the collection over a 40+ year period and it was an emotional moment for me when I finally decided to sell it. Because of the wonderful service I received from Maresch over the years as a stamp buyer, it was a no-brainer for me when it came time to sell. As anticipated, you did a masterful job and the prices realized exceeded all expectations. 

Thanks again and I would certainly recommend R. Maresch and Son to any stamp collector, whether buying or selling.

Dear Tony,

Your net check to me arrived in today's mail ..... I'm just writing to say that I am very pleased, not only with the price realized, but with the professional approach taken by your firm throughout the entire process. 

While I have been a buyer at a variety of stamp auctions over the past two decades, this is my first experience as a seller, so thanks for making it such a pleasant and rewarding experience. 

Sincerely,

Dear Tony,

Recently your company auctioned my collection which I had accumulated over the pasts 50+ years.

I decided I must sell the collection because of financial considerations and the fact that I am approaching middle age. Being a "closet" collector all these years, I really wasn't sure of the best way to dispose of my stamps and I only had two names in mind to sell my stamps with. I contacted three members of the local stamp club and they came over to look a the collections. They recommended R. Maresch & Son, Toronto. A date and time was set up and when you would personally estimate the value of the collection in my residence, since I cannot travel. The collection was given a very conservative estimate and sold well above estimate!

I would like to thank you for your expertise and kindness and your company for the effort that was put into achieving a rather pleasing result.

Yours truly,
B.C.

Dear Mr. Maresch; 

I would like to thank you, your son, and staff for the wonderful presentation of my stamps at your June auction. When your son phoned me I was very pleasantly surprised. I will certainly recommend your company to all, for buying and selling stamps. I was very well treated at your Yonge Street office. 
Thank you again. 

A Happy Collector, 
Donald Hicks

Dear Mr. Maresch,  

I am in receipt of the payment on the sale of my collection. As it made somewhat more than you suggested originally, I am sure I owe this to the arrangement by your firm of the collection, into suitable lots for auction.  Many thanks to you for handling this matter for me.

Dear Mr. Maresch;  

This is a note to express my appreciation with the way your company handled the sale of my Canadian stamp collection.  From the time you and an associate came to my home and discussed the intricacies of an auction, nothing could have gone more smoothly and I want to thank you for your honesty and professionalism.  If I was a person looking for a firm to do the best job for me and auctioning off my collection, R. Maresch & Son would be first on my list.

Most Sincerely 
Peter R. Kennedy

Hello Tony,

We received your cheque today for the stamps that we brought in for Christine's mother as she left her home. We must thank you for all of the fine work you did for us. As we mentioned at our first contact, we know nothing about collecting and were faced with the task of "doing something" with the stamps. Trusting in your firm’s long traditions turned out to be a wise move. From the beginning, you told us what was going to be done and then you did it, and did it well.We were also pleased to recommend you to a friend as she worked through her husband’s collection. She too has appreciated the professional way you have dealt with her. Thanks again for all of your help.

Kindest regards, 
Paul & Christine Holloway

Dear Bill and Rick, 

Many thanks to you and your staff at R Maresch & Son for all your hard work in selling my West Indies collections so effectively. I really appreciated you letting me review the descriptions and lotting for my part of the auction, although, in the event I had little to add to the excellent work you had done. Fellow collectors told me that Toronto was the wrong place to sell West Indies, your results proved them wrong. 

You certainly performed far better than major auction houses in Europe to which I have consigned material in the past. My worries about having my material among the last lots in a five-session, 2800-lot auction were also proven to be groundless. I should also like to pass on to you the comments of several fellow-collectors from overseas to the effect that they were very pleased to bid with complete confidence on lots where your wonderfully accurate colour illustrations gave them a true feeling for the colour shades that can be so important in our hobby. You did me proud - many thanks! 

Sincerely, 
John Tyacke

Dear Bill,

Our association in philately, and in friendship, has been an enduring one.  When I was assembling my collections of Small Queens your company, as well as others, was a source of supply.  As well, I found that working with Tony when he was learning the business a few years ago was certainly an enjoyable experience.

As you know, in the last few years my health has declined to the point that I am no longer able to enjoy working with my stamps, and it became necessary to dispose of my award winning collections.  Of course, I immediately thought of R. Maresch & Son for that purpose.

Both June and I are very appreciative of the way in which the sale of the collections was conducted.  Thank you and your staff for the professional handling of this large project for us.

Best regards, and thanks again.

Dear Bill:

The modern amateur collector needs two things in order to build a significant and satisfying collection: (1) determination, persistence, and judiciousness in assembling it, and (2) the guidance of professional experts of absolute integrity whose knowledge and experience in the field can supplement the collector's own. Likewise, the eventual dispersal of a collection required similar dependability and assistance from professionals.

Since much of modern stamp collecting is necessarily channeled through auctioneers and/or dealers whose business interests are involved, it is crucial that the professionals involved are scrupulously honest.

Over many decades I have placed primary responsibility in your firm for counsel in buying and selling. I have never been disappointed and have developed full faith and confidence in your direction and judgment. Every member of your staff has been cooperative, helpful, and considerate and I am delighted to recommend you unreservedly to all collectors in whatever field of interest or wherever their geographical location.

Reputation cannot be purchased; it must be earned. The reputation of R. Maresch & Son is pristine.

Sincerely,
Jim Bloomfield

Dear Bill,

Although this letter is overdue, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the manner in which you handled the sale, last October, of my postal history material and Nova Scotia proofs. Everything went smoothly and without problems right from the time we first spoke about the possibility of the sale over two years ago.  

You and your staff made it all very easy.  I was most impressed by the wonderful catalogue and the advance publicity.  But most of all you produced a wonderful "floor" where the bidding was spirited and many lots exceeded even my best hopes.  I don't believe even one lot was left unsold.  

Your lotting also showed a sensitivity to my collection themes and kept much material in groups that will allow buyers to build on what was started.  Finally, your computer system worked like a charm.  I was amazed to receive, just 30 minutes after the auction, both the complete record by lot with prices realized and a good cognac. Bravo!

 I am slowly gathering the rest of my material and look forward to its sale sometime soon. You know it gets harder and harder to sell your "children" of the post.  As more of them go, I seem to be working more slowly than previously.

Thank all the staff and I look forward to our next joint venture.
 
Sincerely, 
J.J. MacDonald

Dear Bill,

The results are now in on your sale of my collection of used Canadian stamps and covers, and I must take the opportunity to share my reaction with you and your colleagues at R. Maresch & Son.

When I approached you last fall to discuss the possible disposition of my collection, I did so with some trepidation. Guided by your advice over many years, and with key acquisitions from your sales, I knew I had formed a collection of quality and some philatelic value. I was non-the-less concerned about the timing, how the material would be catalogued, and whether I would have any input. I need not have worried.

From the time of my initial consultation with you and Rick Sheryer, my concerns received your fullest attention. As your work progressed, you kept me fully informed and gave me several opportunities to be involved. The collection could have been spread among several auctions, but instead you recommended a single sale that would highlight my approach, in a catalogue that departed from your normal format. In terms of lotting, layout, and colour illustration, it set new standards, in my opinion. By sale time I was completely satisfied that everything had been done to present the best possible sale, from my perspective and that of the bidders you hoped to attract.

The results, which far exceeded my expectation, confirmed that my selection of R. Maresch & Son had been the right choice. I would not hesitate to direct prospective clients to your firm. Thank you.
 
Yours sincerely, 
David Roberts

Dear Sirs:

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to your company and, in particular Mr. Sheryer, for the expert advice and handling of my late father's collection of stamps.

I found myself in a difficult position representing numerous beneficiaries and knowing very little about such a large collection. After speaking and meeting with a number of different dealers and auctioneers, Mr. Sheryer truthfully represented to me the best and most profitable solution to selling the collection. He took the time and effort to deal with me and was always willing to answer my numerous questions, to literally go out of his way to help and always offered good advice, even on matters that were only indirectly related to the collection.

The sale of Proceeds exceeded the appraisal of the collection given by Mr. Sheryer. The result of the auction of the collection was a wonderful surprise and was a tremendous amount more than we would have received had we sold the collection to a dealer.

I give high marks for the professionalism of the firm, the courtesy and knowledge of the staff and the excellent catalogue used for the auctioning of the stamps. I will highly recommend your services to anyone with stamps to sell.
 
Sincerely yours, 
Lori Ngo

Dear Folks:

I received my check today, right on time and right on expectation. The professional way in which all the members of your firm handle themselves is a testimony on how an auction house should be run.

From the day I brought my collection to you until the day of settlement, I was totally pleased with you. All lots were appropriately described and lotted. I simply have no complaints and I hope we can do business again in the future.

Again thank you on behalf of myself and my daughter.

Respectfully yours,
Bruce Schwalb

Dear Rick,

I just wanted to say on behalf of my family and I thank you so much for selling my father's stamp collection. I just received the cheque yesterday and it is more than we ever expected to get.  We really are astounded and very grateful for the fantastic job you have done.

Sincerely Yours,
Nick Ivanans

R. Maresch & Son

Please find enclosed my payment for lot 747 from your recent auction.
It is always gratifying to see that one can bid in confidence that a high mail bid is only used when necessary. I greatly appreciate your honesty and integrity. It is also appreciated that your lots are carefully and accurately described with honest estimates of their value. The buyers premium is worth every penny.

Yours sincerely,
Peter de Groot
