The free event is co-sponsored by the United States Postal Service which will issue four new stamps for Military Dogs at the show on Thursday, August 1. The USPS will also have a large retail presence offering a selection of current U.S. stamps for sale.

The dealers will be supplemented by a multi-session public Harmer-Schau auction. On Saturday a cachetmakers bourse will be held where collectors may purchase cacheted covers sold by the artists. The APS will also sponsor Stamps by the Bucket and Covers by Container where youth may acquire a bucket of stamps or a container of covers for only $1 ($5 for adults). No other philatelic event offers two multiple frame grand awards (for National Topical Stamp Show and APS StampShow), two single frame grands, the World Series of Philately Champion of Champions, the Youth Exhibiting Championship, a literature competition, and a Court of Honor. The Court of Honor will include an exhibit on the Transcontinental Railroad which was completed with the Golden Spike 150 years ago.

    Rarest Stamp Error in U.S. History, Inverted Jenny, Flies Again

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Mark Saunders Sept. 22, 2013 202-268-6524 [email protected] Release No. 013-074 usps.com/news Rarest Stamp Error in U.S. History, Inverted Jenny, Flies Again $2 Upside-Down Jenny Reprint Celebrates Opening of World’s Largest Stamp Gallery, National Stamp Collecting Month A high-resolution image of the stamp is available for media use only by emailing [email protected]. WASHINGTON — In a move to celebrate the grand opening of the William H. Gross Gallery at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum and promote October as National Stamp Collecting Month, the Postal Service dedicated a new $2 version of the most publicized stamp error in U.S. history today — the 24-cent 1918 Curtiss Jenny Inverted airmail stamp. The $12 Stamp Collecting: Inverted Jenny souvenir sheet is available nationwide today by visiting usps.com/stamps, calling 800-STAMP-24 (800-782-6724) or by visiting Post Offices. Two eerie occurrences took place surrounding the nation’s first airmail flight. The pilot got lost, 2 flew in the wrong direction and crashed. And due to a printing error of the stamp created to commemorate this historic event, the biplane depicted on the 24-cent Curtiss Jenny airmail stamp was upside down. A sheet of 100 stamps bearing this error was sold to the public. One stamp sold at auction in 2007 for $977,500. “The stamp is much more than a misprint,” said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe in dedicating the stamp. “It also symbolizes the Postal Service’s pioneering role in American history.

    Smilers Generic Sheets Part 11

    Smilers Generic Sheets Part 11 By John A. Cardona The first part of this article under the heading 'Smilers' was published in MPS Journal Volume 34/3 which was issued in January 2006. It covered the first 29 Generic Sheets issued from May 2000 to Christmas 2005. This part covers the next 34 Generic Sheets issued from January 2006 to December 2009. A Generic Sheet is defined as one where the design on the label adjoining the stamps has been chose:::1 by Royal Mail, and not customized by a member of the public; the latter are known as Smilers. There are a number of philatelists who are not in favour of these Generic Sheets, whereas others argue that they are simply there as an extra source of revenue for the Postal Authorities where, at the end of a financial year, the 'bottom line' is all that counts. Whatever :he pros and cons Generic Sheets have, no doubt, gained in popularity throughout the world and the forecast is that they are here to stay for a number of years ahead Year 2006 Fig. 30 - "A Bear called Paddington" A Generic Sheet containing 20 x 1st Class stamps from Animal Tales set was issued on 10 January 2006. The sheet was printed in lithography (litho) on self-adhesive paper. Paddington Bear was created by Michael Bond and the stamp features one of the early illustrations by Peggy Fortnum, from "More about Padq,ipgton" published in 1959. Since then L'1e Paddington Bear has featured in many books, carton strips, an animated TV series and a whole range of merchandise besides a statue at Paddington Station in London.

  • Pb3512 Northern Ireland Regionals

    Pb3512 Northern Ireland Regionals

    BRITISH PHILATELIC BULLETIN Northern Ireland pre-decimal regionals by Brian Warren Although they do not attract the same level of attention as national definitives, '■Regionals’ or ‘Country’ definitives can provide the specialist collector with much of interest, reflecting the many changes in the national definitives of the period. Particularly noteworthy for their variation in designs are the £ s d issues. As a collector of the modern definitive issues of my native Ireland, I have always taken an in­ terest in the ‘Regionals’ issued for use in North­ ern Ireland. The ‘Regionals’ as they are known by us collectors or ‘Country’ definitives as the Royal Mail prefers to call them do not appear to gener­ ate as much interest as the national definitives. However, they provide a specialist collector with much of interest, reflecting the many changes which have occurred in the national definitives during the same period. Their great advantage is thankfully the Royal Mail’s continued policy j to confine the series to the four principal postal rates. This enables a basic collection to be ex­ panded without undue cost and difficulty.
