Meet the Team
Our Core Team
Sparks International was founded in Ottawa in 2007 by a group of advanced collectors and philatelic professionals with a simple belief: that well-described material finds its audience. Now in our eighteenth year, we offer stamps, postal history, and historic documents to buyers around the world through auction and retail, and with the same specialist attention the business was built on. Whether you’re looking to buy or considering selling, we’re always happy to talk.
