  • JSP Vol 04 No 11 1966Jul
    V v v JiotipMfcAt Number 11 July 1966 Volume 4 THE CASES 0? THE "DIRTY DOZEN" - Harold Wasserman - In the field of philately, even after many years, there are many problems which have defied solution. Many experts have tackled these Items, but complete answers are still lacking. The field of sports collecting is certainly no different. After all, isn't every sports stamp still a stamp from a country? Isn't a philatelic problem to a collec­ tor of, say, Austria a matter of concern to sports collectors if the stamps involved are the First and Second Ski sets? Now, If these problems involve sports stamps, shouldn't we, as sports philatelists, make a determined effort to help in their solution? There are a number of unresolved questions dealing with sport stamps. I have select­ ed twelve of these, which I call the "Dirty Dozen". I would like to present one of these to you to see if among us we cannot come up with an answer. Case 1: The Case of the Disappearing Cancellations In 1946 Albania Issued a set of seven stamps in connection with the Balkan Games held in Tirana, October 6-13, 1946. (Incidentally, "Landmans" and Seebacher label it the Tenth Games whereas "Schmidt-Schneider" call it the Twelfth.) Supposedly 50,000 sets were is­ sued. Certainly I have found no information to contradict this number. Mint sets are by no means plentiful, but they can be found. The current catalog price of §15.75 ($2.25 Per stamp right down the line) is misleading. Dealers who are up on the market charge from $15.00 to $20.00 per set, when they have them.

Let me once again on behalf of the Presidential Board thank the Government of Estonia, Estonian Chess Federation, Ministry of Culture of Sports and the management of the hotel for the opportunity to hold our meeting here. We are in a country with rich chess traditions, where a chess player, great Paul Keres is featured on a five-krone banknote. His 100 th anniversary will be celebrated in 2016. In the center of Tallinn, in a chess club there is a special exposition dedicated to P. Keres. We recall that Tallinn was one of the candidates for the Chess Olympiads 2010. The Estonians despite difficult economic conditions, they several steps to promote chess, including “Chess in School” in several places. For example, GM J. Ehlvest wrote a book which should reach the table of every primary school child, and become a part of a chess curriculum.

Welcome to CONVERSATIONS. I’m very pleased to have with me today Garry Kasparov, the great chess champion, one of the greatest chess players of all time. Many people say you are the greatest chess player of all time. I won’t ask you to comment on that, one way or the other. A leader of the fight for democracy in Russia. And there’s so much to talk about, I’m not sure where to begin, but I will begin where I first heard of you, I think, as you were a great young chess players and those epic matches with Karpov in 1984 and 1985. I remember reading not just – I had a mild interest in chess, not just about the chess matches, but about your own biography in the Soviet Union. Soviet Union was a long time ago now. It’s hard to believe – 25 years. What was it like growing up in the Soviet Union? KASPAROV: I think the reason you look at these matches probably was not so much the chess factor but to the political element, which was inevitable because in the Soviet Union, chess was treated by the Soviet authorities as a very important and useful ideological tool to demonstrate the intellectual superiority of the Soviet communist regime over the decadent West.
