The Philatelic Traders’ Society is delighted to announce that eBay will become the official Stampex 2022 partner for the Stampex Talks Auditorium. Now in its third show, the auditorium space has become a key part of the Stampex experience both for visitors in person, and online. The eBay Auditorium is set to boost an array of philatelic talks throughout the four days. We are delighted to confirm that talks by Richard Morel from The British Library, Chris Taft from The Postal Museum, Daniel Piazza from Smithsonian National Postal Museum. Graham Beck of Exploring Stamps, Ian Shapiro at Spink, and Court of Honour collector, Chris Harman have already confirmed their attendance as speakers. A full schedule will be announced at the end of August. 

Suzanne Rae, The PTS comments
‘We have been working with eBay for two years now ensuring the PTS shield can be seen across eBay UK so that collectors can buy safe in the knowledge that they are purchasing from a verified PTS Member. We are delighted that eBay are joining us at Stampex celebrating their prominent philatelic community and supporting the Auditorium.”

Frances Monroe, eBay comments “Collectors and enthusiasts have been at the heart of our marketplace for over 25 years. That’s why we’re extremely excited to bring eBay to Stampex this year, providing the ideal arena to connect and celebrate with the vibrant community of philatelists that trade with us.”

GBPS Meeting Update

18/7/2022

0 Comments

 
The Great Britain Philatelic Society have announced their upcoming meeting dates.  It is wonderful to see so many in person meetings.  

Saturday 1 October 2022 - Stampex MeetingThe first meeting the new season of the Great Britain Philatelic Society will be on Saturday 1 October 2021 at Stampex in the Business Design Centre, Islington from 1:45pm in room “C”.
At this meeting Ray Barton will be showing some of his collection of Sideways Spoons & Scots Locals.  Ray says, ‘’By 1854 mail was increasing so fast that a quicker way of cancelling mail was needed so the spoon and sideways duplexes were introduced as an experiment to try to speed up the process.  The spoon cancels were also used in Wales and Ireland as well as England though the sideways were only used in England and Wales.  In Scotland it was decided that they would allow the Village hand stamps to be used to cancel the mail meaning they did not have to be cancelled by the Head Offices thus saving time.”


Saturday 22 October 2022 – KGVI Definitive & QEII Wilding DayThe meeting on Saturday 22 October 2022 will be held at the Royal Philatelic Society, 15 Abchurch Lane, London EC4N 7BW from 11:00 a.m.  This will be a King George VI Definitive & Queen Elizabeth II Wilding Day consisting of as many members’ displays as possible.
This is an opportunity for members to show any aspect of the KGVI or QEII Wilding definitives that are interesting be they stamps, covers, proofs, errors or whatever.  Do you have a new theory to air with your peers?  Do you have a problem with which you would like some help?
The only restriction for the day is it must be GB King George VI Definitive or Queen Elizabeth II Wilding related material.

As the day consists solely of in-room members’ displays there will be no PowerPoint/Zoom element so please do come along and join us in person, if you are able.
