The sales included one of the most important collections of the "Bull's Eye" stamps of Brazil ever formed. The lots included the mint 60 reis block of twenty, the second largest multiple of this stamp known, and hundreds of other examples of mint and used stamps and stamps on cover. The sale of the Bull's Eyes in Part 1 alone, raised over CHF 1.3 million including buyer's premium (over US$ 1M). A further sale of Colombia took place on 20 May 2014.

Goeggel has been President of the Inter-American Philatelic Federation (1997-2008) and of the Colombian Philatelic Federation. He is a former member of the Council of Philatelists of the National Postal Museum, a joint venture between the Smithsonian Institution and the United States Postal Service.

1962

After military service Goeggel studied Chemistry at the Federal Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, graduating in 1962. In 1967 he received his Doctorate from the same institution.

1950

Goeggel's early education was local but at age 12 he was sent to Switzerland where he was under the tutelage of Hans Brodbeck who introduced him to rowing and serious philately. He joined the Ruderclub Reuss Lucerne Rowing Club and was part of a successful team nicknamed "Lecco Blitz" that won many races in the late 1950s. He rowed for Switzerland at the 1960 Rome Olympics in the men's eight.

The key item of Brazil was the 30 reis interpane Bull's Eye block of four which sold for CHF 360,000 including buyer's premium. It was discovered by Luiz Figueiredo Filho only in 1950 who bought it at Coda Philatelic House in Rio de Janeiro. The block, used 1845, proved the existence of a third plate for the stamp as theorised by George Napier (died 1942) and is the only surviving example of an interpane 30 reis. From Filho it then passed into the collection of Niso Vianna who exhibited it in award-winning collections in the 1950s and 60s. It was then owned by Reynaldo Bruno Pracchia who exhibited it throughout the 1970s and included it in his Championship Class Grand Prix winning exhibit at London 1980. He sold it in 1986 to the David Feldman firm along with other items and in 1987 it was bought at a Feldman auction by Paulo Comelli for Angelo Lima who also won awards with it. The piece was eventually acquired by Hugo Goeggel in 1995.
