OLYMPIC IMAGINATION

by Vfi. Man^ftzd Bzngman

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." Albert Einstein

The curtain has come down on OLYMPHILEX '85. The first world sport- Olympic exhibition, patronized by the International Olympic Committee and its president, H. E. Juan Antonio Samaranch, was a tremendous success. The finest Olympic and sport collections - worldwide - were shown.

Usually one reports and analyzes in detail the collections. In the case of OLYMPHILEX '85, this would be an enormous task, consuming much time and space and would not serve the purpose. When one writes, should one write everything? When one paints, should one paint everything? Have mercy on me, and leave something to your Olympic imagination.

Consequently, I shall concentrate merely on the various trends of Olympic collecting, as expressed in this show. These trends prove the vitality of Olympic philately and the multitude of future de­ velopment and possibilities. As we shall see, all trends are valid and worthy of philately.

1. The classical approach, the pure philatelic studies of the Games of 1896 and 1906. This trend has been mostly developed by the Greek collectors. It encompasses proofs, cancellations of the first day (25 March 1896), cancellations of the various post offices, special cancellations (1906), cancellations of every day of the Olympic year (1896), postal rates, plate studies, varieties, etc.. In fact, ^ these collections have been shown in traditional exhibitions as well. This trend was demonstrated in an excellent way by Tsironis, Anghelopoulos, Dolianitis (all Greece) and Beinart (GB).

2. The documentary approach, which is the collection of Olympic documents of several Games/ The emphasis is on the documents, special cancellations, varieties proofs. The approach is purely philatelic 41 and with no thematic development. Nevertheless, it gives an excellent understanding of the postal facilities and involvement in the Olympic Games. The best collections following this trend were represented by Schreuder (Norway) for 1896-1952, Rosen (USA) for 1896 to 1932, Messmer (Germany) for 1896 to 1928.

3. The thematic history of the Games. This trend connects the _ • -s philatelic documents with the history and the events of the Games.•" v* In other words, philatelic documents are used to tell the "when", the f'where". the "how", and the "with whom" of the Olympic Games. However, philatelic documents are not neglected. This trend was presented to a large degree in the collection of Mannhart and to a lesser degree by Karel, both of whom are of Switzerland. It permits the person interested in the detailed history of the Games to obtain satisfac­ tion. k. The next trend is the development of one Game (excepting 1896). There are two possibilities. a. the postal history of one Game, meaning an accummulation of all philatelic items related to one Game. This trend was very well represented by the collection of German - West Germany (1936), Bowman - USA (l936), Borsody - USA (1984), Jonker - Holland (1956). Karpinsky - West Germany (1936), Podolsky - USA (Winter Games, 1932). b. the thematic and philatelic history of one Game. The trend details in a first part the history of the Game (propaganda, organi­ zation, financing, programme in general and daily events, the winners, the participants, the locations, the installations, transportation, other linked manifestations, etc. - and this by philatelic documents. In a second part, all the philatelic studies are shown (cancellations, varieties, proofs, etc. The best collections of this trend were shown by Rapkin - GB (l936) and Canepa - Italy (l924). I opine that this trend has a promising future.

5. The fifth trend is a specialized study of a. particular aspect connected with the Olympic Games: a. the Olympic flights: Bura - Poland, Koller - West Germany b. the Olympic torch relay: Nuyken - West Germany c. Olympic Games and sports through art - Furman (USSR) d. Olympic cancellations (postal propaganda) - Vidal (Spain) e. Olympic stadiums - Pritula (USSR) f. the IOC meter cancellations- Tecardi(ltaly) This last study certainly has a future, especially when extended to all Olympic meters. Teca di always surprises us with new ideas.

6. This is a highly specialized trend in the collection of blocks of four - unique in the world and shown by the president of the IOC and FLPO, H. E. J. A. Samaranch in the court of Honor of OLYMPHILEX '85. Any classical philatelist could be envious.

7. The history of one's country's link with the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement is the seventh trend. It made a timid appearance, represented by the Justyn (CSSR) collection: "Czecho­ slovakia and the Olympic Movement." In my opinion, this trend has large possibilities and is worthy of capturing the attention and IMAGINATION of more collectors. Imagine the following possibilities:

42 a. the USA and the Olympic Games and Movement. 1904, 1932, I960, 1980, 1984. b. Germany and the Games c. France and the Games etc.

Of course, the collection should include not only material related to the Games that the specific country organized, but also matexialy <' showing its contribution to the other Games, other Olympic manifes­ tations, pre-Olympic meetings, issues for other Games, etc.

Imagination paints, the mind compares, the taste chooses and the talent executes. This should be the maxim for this trend.

8. Last but not least, the "journalistic" approach, telling the story of the ancient Games and their revital. All this is written by philateli material as if it were a journalistic essay. Pellegrini (Italy) used this new approach: " 'In the Spirit of Olympia." His collection was awarded first prize of Olymphilex '85 (donated by H. E. J. A. Samaranch).

I have tried to describe several approaches to Olympic collecting. I am sure that others exist. That is where our imagination should be put to work. The Olympic Games are. THE socio-cultural phenomena of this century. They were influenced by (and influence) outside circumstances (politics, doping, professionalism, etc.). They had ideological opponents (Workers' Olympiads, Spartakiads, etc.); they had social problems (Women's Olympics). All these aspects are still virgin. They can be developed philatelically. Imagina­ tion is all that is needed.

The next OLYMPHILEX will take place in Rome in 198? and then in Athens in 1989. Let's imagine new themes, new ways of Olympic collecting, or put in more imagination in our actual collections. See you in Rome. **************

MEXICAN FEDERATION OF SPORT PHILATELY A letter dated April 28, 1986 reports the founding of Federacion Mexicana de Filatelia Deportiva. The president is Leopoldo Gonzales .Guerrero whose address is Apartado Postal 71-346, Mexico City 3, D. F., Mexico. An accompanying document seems to indicate the organization existed as early as 1984. Spanish- speaking members who know more about this organization are requested to report about it - its journals, membership cost, size of membership and services.

Perhaps a member of this organization can give us a review of its journals and if there are any handbooks available, let JSP readers know. - Sherwin Podolsky, August 27, 1986

Edited by Edward B. Epstein

Sports and Olympic philatelists have, collectively, a great deal of knowledge, which when pooled, can be of mutual benefit. Questions concerning sports and Olympic philately will be assigned a number and published in JSP. Responses to questions will be printed in subsequent issues. Address all questions to your editor: Edward B. Epstein, Paterson Board of Education, 33 Church Street, Paterson, NJ 07505 USA.

A— 105 An interesting postscript should be added pertaining to the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic mascot "Sam the Eagle". If for some, the Sam character seemed vaguely familiar, it will come as no surprise that Sam bears an uncanny resemblance to a Walt Disney character that made his debut in a 1943 film called "Saludos Amigos". The picture, which combined animation with live action footage, was conceived following a August 17, 1941 two month goodwill tour to South America. One of the minor characters of the "Saludos Amigos" film was an animated Brazilian parrot named Jose Carioca who wore a straw hat,bow tie, short jacket and carried an umbrella. Jose Carioca was such a success in the film that Disney teamed him up with Donald Duck and Panchito ( a charro rooster) for a major role in the 1945 hit ."The Three Caballeros." Although"Sam the Eagle" exchanged Carioca's straw hat for a red and white stripped top hat with the five Olympic rings and Sam's bow tie was red stripped there can be no doubt that the physical characteristics of Jose Carioca and "Sam the Eagle" are one in the same. 0.—110 Evidently LeRoy Haberkorn is interested in synchronized swirrming and would like to know if any postage stamp designs have pictured sync±ironized swiirrning? Q--111 Another question by LeRoy Haberkorn concerns Singapore issue (Scott 375,376 and 377). He wonders if anyone has been able to identify all the sports pictured on the issued Q~112 Information is recjuired about the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic games Press Center- handstamp. A—112 The Main Press Center, which opened in 1971, was located at •the Los Angeles Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles. Office facilities were provided for journalists of seventy-one agencies from twenty-one nations. The Main Press Center opened around the clock from July 14 to August 14, 1984 and was staffed by 2,018 people. In addition to a temporary post office other common faculties included currier and customs services, film developing, photocopying, telecommunications and meeting rooms for news conferences. /

U.S. BASEBALL METER SLOGAN CATALOG

"U.S BASEBALL METER SLOGANS CATALOG." First Edition, 1986, 36 pages, 87 illustrations, Hard cover. Published by Associazone Italiana Collezionisti di Affrancature Meccaniche, Viale Famagosta 24, 1-20142 Milano, Italy. Not for sale. Sent free of charge to all collectors sending at least two baseball meters of any kind.

This is a tentative catalog written with the cooperation of a group of Italian sport philatelists. It is far from complete and the group is awaiting suggestions and contributions from American sport collectors in order to publish a larger booklet in the near future. Collectors having baseball meters are urged to send photocopies to Nino Barberis, secretary of AICAM whose address is given above.

The booklet has also been prepared with the cooperation of SPI member, Plerangelo Brivio, unit leader, Thematic' Sport Unit, Centro Italiano di Filatelia. This is a beautifully produced work with an interesting classification scheme: famous American teams, baseball organizations, the media (radio and TV), promotion of the sport, and various. With one exception, all illustrations are excellent. The exception is a very dark impression and very likely a better one is needed for illustration. This project deserves support from all SPI members having baseball meters in their collections.

"SARAJEVO-LOS ANGELES 1984 , Volume I, Cancellations and Registered Labels." by Manfred Winternheimer, Editor. Publishers" International Motivgruppen Olympladen und Sport and International Fe deration of Olympic Philately, With patronage of the Inte rnatlonal Olympic Committee. Published 1986. Copyright by IMOS/FIPO/IOC. 226 numbered pages plus 20 unnumbered f ront pages plus appendix of 29 pages. Page size app roxlmately 5 3/4 x 8 i inches, Loose leaf, bound by squar e two-rings in vinyl binder, Thoroug&y illustrated in b lack and white. 48 Price US$20 postpaid surface mail. US$24 postpaid airmail. Dollar bills preferred, or add US$4 to checks. Obtainable from Manfred Winternheimer, Rosenstrasse 34, D-6501 Schwabenheim, West Germany.

In three languages - German, English and French, this work by SPI member, Manfred Winternheimer, should" enjoy , considerable international popularity. There are a' *' number of innovations over predecessor catalogs covering Olympics from 1964 to 1980 by Winternheimer. Major sections are headed by title cards on colored stiff card. The appendices presenting valuations are on colored pages.

The Winter and Summer Olympic Games are each subdivided into host country, participating countries, and non- participating countries. Each of these divisions contains a systematic classification of cancellations: machine slogan cancels, hand slogan cancels, first day cancels, special hand cancels, special machine cancels, postal meters, etc.

The valuation system in West German marks is developed around a point system. The range is from one point equally 1 to 2 marks- to 17 points equalling 75 to 100 marks. With one mark now worth 50e at this writing, some readers may be surprised that some recent material can be scarce enough to be worth that much.

Among the meters, those used by private companies are also listed as well as those used by the Organizing Committees. The stamp show pictorial'cancels are all listed. The student for one or two specific sports will find much to wade through for items in his specialty.

The Winternheimer classification lends itself to develop­ ing want lists and trading lists, particularly with collectors abroad. Printing quality is excellent. The book is highly recommended. CHELP CWANTED

An IMOS member writes a letter in French. He is looking in particular for the POLPEX '81 STATION pictorial show cancel used in Chicago. The cancel shows an athlete's head and words SPORT IN PHILATELY. He is also looking for copies of Ernest Trory's philatelic histories of the Olympic Games and has interest in 1932 Olympic items. Write G. Majewski, Wilhelm-Schmidt Str. 3, D-4600 Dortmund 30, West Germany. Monsieur Majewski appears to be a polyglot has he also indicates membership in APM, PZFOL, HBV, DosPG, and APPF. Exchanges may be possible. 49 NEWS ON THE 1992 WINTER OLYMPICS

by Melvin Hodgson

•••'>'•# Since the last notes a new cancel from Amsterdam, The Netherlands has arrived. This is a machine cancel in red. New stickers have arrived from several committees.

Brisbane, Australia is very different since they have already adopted a mascot, Willy, a caricature of Australia's favorite bear, a Koala. The coloring is as follows: "Olympics Down Under" is in red. The Australian Flag is in true color. The mascot "Willy" is gray in a green uniform with yellow patch and trim.

Birmingham, England has a very large sticker. All printing is in black exceptEvening Mail which is white on a blue field. The Olympic Rings are in their true color. The flame is short blue on the left and long red on the right. The lines on either side of 1992 are this blue over thick red.

The newest sticker I have received is from Lillehammer, Norway. The printing, top and bottom, is in black. The Olympic Rings are in their true colors. The design in the center is alternate blue and red.

Lillehammer, Norway also supplied a very nice pin simular to the sticker plus #1 and #2 issues of their newspaper type of publication. They are not using a special cancel at the present.

The address for Lillehammer, Norway is as follows:

Candidate to host the 1992 Olympic Winter Games OL-92 A/S Storgt. 95 Postboks 106 2601 Lillehammer, Norway

A friend in the Netherlands provided the above address plus the following:

Olympic Candidate Sofia '92 4 Angel Kanchev Str. Sofia 1000, Bulgaria

Committee to host the 1992 Olympics 10 bis Bd de la Bastille 75012 Paris, France

I am still waiting for the address of the committee in Belgrade, Jugoslavia.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee K-Line's Olympic Pages will soon be comming off the press, and there will be storage room needed. To gain this storage space K-Line will dispose of all Sport supplements immediately, and the few remaining "Complete Sports" at a later date as it becomes necessary. Here's your chance to obtain Complete Sport pages (approx through 1970) for $10.00 plus $5.00 shipping, which is under cost price. Even if you don't collect sports as a whole, this set contains loads of sport infor­ mation, such as results of various games, and can serve as a visual check list on the particlar sport topic you might be interested in, and so on. At today's prices the paper alone would cost almost the $10.00 - But hurry! The postpaid price of $15.00 is for U.S. only, shipped via United Parcel Service (street address needed) — foreign, includes ; Canada - add $10.00 — This tells you an idea of how many pages in the set.

by Dale Lilljedahl

This spring two different auction houses offered cacheted covers from the 1932 Olympics, and while neither offering was particularly large; combined they provided a good opportunity to enhance any col­ lection. On February 22, 1986 Gothic Covers of Akron Ohio held a mail auction with eight lots of Lake Placid cacheted covers, and five lots from Los Angeles. Along with the regular first day covers from LA, they also sold five ship covers with Olympic cancellations or cachets: however, all five sold as one lot for $1't5-00, so it is impossible to judge the relative worth of each item. All covers listed below are accompanied by their Planty number (P) followed by their SPI label from the 1932 handbook.

THINGS TO SEND FOR by Sherwin Podolsky

Two new price lists and a mini-auction catalog have been published by Heiko Volk Olympia-Philatelie, Postfach 3117, Erbacher Str. 19, D-6120 Michelstadt, West Germany. A translation index is provided although the basic literature is in German. Volk understands English and can answer your particular questions in English.

Price List 29-1986 offers 1976 and 1981 Winter and Summer Olympics. Price list 32-1986 covers 1896 through 1968 and includes 13 pages of photographed material. I note some 1960 Winter Olympiuc slogan cancels offered that are now almost impossible to find anywhere else.

Price list 29-1986 lists six different 1981 USA meters. However, although an example is illustrated, the US Postal Service meter inscribed "LOS ANGELES OLYMPICS" is not offered. The "Host" Los Angeles machine cancel is offered, but not the handstamp version. The double-ring Los Angeles 1981 Olympic Games date cancel is offered but color and nature of postage usage is not clear. The USPS torch and venue pictorial cancels seem fully offered but it isn't clear whether the maximum cards / have the larger cancels found in prepackaged lots from the philatelic boutiques and the Washington DC agency. Winternheimer catalogs detailing cancellations and postal station­ ery for Olympics from 1961 through 1980 are offered. Indeed, Winternheimer catalog numbers are used profusely throughout the listings. However, the Winternheimer catalog for 1981 Olympics is not yet published. 77 Catalog 35-86 is a mini-auction catalog with all valuations as start prices. Practically all material is photographed and illustrated. Volk's price lists and catalogs offer a profusion of covers, cards, cancellations, labels, medals, coins and programs. The publications are issued regularly and often serve as guides for trading. Serious Olympic and sport philatelists and collectors should be on Volk's mailing list.

OLYMPIC PHILATELIC EXHIBITION IN ALBERTVILLE

by Francis Daziniere

The little city of Albertville in the French Alps (Savoie) is a candidate city to organize the 1992 Winter Olympics. The candidacy committee is very active and organized several meetings and a show to promote this candidacy. The local philatelic society and the sport group of the French Association of Thematic Philatelic joined to­ gether to set up a large stamp show in conjunction with the Bidding Committee. They were able to obtain the patronage of the F.I.P.O. and H.E. Mr. J. A. Samaranch sent a lovely trophy to honor the best collection in the Olympic sport category. 79 This was the largest sport philatelic exhibition ever held in France. A total of 157 frames were exhibited to the public during 10 days, April 3-13, 1986. The collections were sent from all over France and were divided in three classes: Winter Sports, Olympism and Other Olympics. The best collections in France were there particularly those of Mr. Christin (The White Olympiads), Mr. Pecquet (Hundred Years of Football Association) and Mr. Geslin (Bicycle in Competition). They were honored respectively by the French Assoc­ J iation of Thematic Philately trophy, the Town of Albertville trophy and the I.O.C. trophy.

On opening day (April 3rd), the French post office used a special hand cancel for all mail sent from the show. Little mail was sent from there but many collectors made souvenirs and had the cancel applied. Souvenirs from the show with the special hand cancel are available from Mr. Mermier Le Rafour, Farette-73200, Albertville, France. Price is 10 French Francs plus SASE. The cancel produces the logo of the candidacy committee.
