History
In 1978, Pierre Joppen founded Paulus Swaen Old Maps and Pierre is
still the company owner. The Gallery was housed until 1997 in Geldrop in the Southern part of The Netherlands. Paulus Swaen Inc has since 1996 been incorporated in Florida USA where it was the first online auction specializing in old maps.
In 2022, the Buy-or-Bid formula was introduced. In this monthly sale, you can purchase an item at the buy price at any time, and the sale has closed.
If you do not wish to pay the Buy price, you may also bid/offer lower on any item.
2024 - Paulus Swaen Buy-or-Bid becomes RarePaperSales Buy-or-Bid
In 2024, we expanded our Buy-or-Bid Sales with more collectible subjects. Therefore, we changed the site's name to Rare Paper Sales.
The Buy-or-Bid sales are now co-organized by Sammy Berk from New World Cartographic in Chicago.
