PHILATELIC MARKET REPORT - Fred Parr - Tip of the month—Trieste (Zone A) sports stamps. All stamp collectors, whether they collect sports stamps or not, have been amazed at the tremendous increases which have taken place in Italian stamps since the beginning of this year. Many sets now sell for five times (or morel) their selling prices less than one year ago. It's too late to climb aboard the sky-rocket of Italian stamps, but it is definitely not too late to get your re­ quirements in stamps of Trieste (Zone A)—and at very cheap prices, too. Yes, the stamps of the Italian zone of Trieste are now beginning to start their upward climb and many spectacular surprises will be in store for all of us before another year is out. The reasons are quite simple; firstly, they are Italian stamps overprinted for use in Trieste, so they are needed by all collectors of Italy, Europe, etc., and secondly, they were issued in minlscule quantities. Indeed, none of these stamps was issued in a greater quantity than 210,000 sets, which is a mere drop in the philatelic bucket. It will be worthwhile to compare the prices of the non-overprinted Italian stamps with their Trieste overprinted counterparts, so we have some indication of the potential value of these Zone A stamps. Then we must remember that the non-overprinted Italian stamps were issued in many, many times the quantity of the overprinted stamps of Trieste (Zone A) and one should realize that it is the overprinted stamps which should command much higher prices than their non-overprinted Italian counterparts. The retail prices I quote will be those prevailing in June, 1966, in the New York City market. Wholesale prices are not given because they are meaningless today--the prices change lamost hourlyl Trieste (Zone A) 71. Although not a particularly attractive stamp, this item was is­ sued to honor the 32nd International Auto Show in Turino in April of 1950. The non-over­ printed stamp, Italy 532, now retails for about $4.00. The same stamp, overprinted for use in Trieste, was issued in a quantity of 150,000 copies and sells for a mere 20jz!. Re­ member, a lot more copies of Italy 532 were issued and it sells for twenty times the over­ printed variety. Trieste (Zone A) 111. The next sports stamp is no great work of art, just like its predecessor. Italy 570 honors the 33rd International Auto Show in Turino, held in April, 1951, and sells for $4.00 or so. The overprinted variety, Trieste (Zone A) 111, had a printing and sale of only 100,000 copies and a mere $3200.00 in American currency would have purchased the entire printing! This stamp sells for 40^ today, which is a rare gift when we consider how few really exist. Trieste (Zone A) 115-17. Issued in 1951 to commemorate the International Gymnastic Festival in Florence, this set is philatelic uranium and I can't recommend it too highly. The non-overprinted stamps, Italy 574-76, now sell for $40.00 to $45.00, which is a mighty steep price considering the fact that it was available for about $6.00 at the beginning of this year and was tipped here in November, 1964, when it cost $4.50! However, the over­ printed stamps, Trieste (Zone A) 115-17, are available for $4.50 to $5.75, depending upon the dealer whose price I am quoting. Interestingly enough, there are five times as many sets of Italy 574-76 as there are of Trieste (Zone A) 115-17. I hope you get the mes­ sage—only twenty per cent as many sets of the Trieste stamps exist as of the Italian set, yet the Italian set is selling for almost ten times the Trieste set! Get on the ball and get this set immediately. Within a few years you may not be able to afford it; remember these words.

Trieste (Zone A) 128. At last we have a really dynamic and attractive sports stamp, issued to publicize the World Cycling Championships, held at Milano and Varese in 1951. The non-overprinted variety, Italy 584, now sells for $2.00. Although only 150,000 copies were sold of Trieste (Zone A) 128, it retails for a mere 20jzt to 25^. Buy a set of blocks and sit back to watch it climb skyward. Trieste (Zone A) 143. If it weren't for the Olympic rings, you would never know tha\ this Is a sports stamp, although the design does picture an athlete and also "Father Ti­ ber". Issued in honor of the First International Exhibition of Sports Stamps, held In Rome during March of 1952, this stamp is often overlooked by sports philatelists. Italy 599, the non-overprinted variety, sells for $1.75 now. Trieste (Zone A) 143, the over- PHILATELIC MARKET REPORT (Cont'd) 5 printed stamp, was issued in a quantity of 210,000 stamps and retails for 150 (lowest price) to 250 (highest price). Can you lose at this price? Trieste (Zone A) 144. Potentially this stamp is a real gem. Issued In 1952 to publi­ cize the 30th Pair at Milano, this handsome stamp depicts the motorboat pavilion at the fair, including several boats in the water. Italy 600, the non-overprinted variety, now retails for $20.00 to $25.00, although I tipped this stamp twlce--in November, 1964, when it sold for a mere 750, and In November, 1965, when it sold for $6.00. I hope you bought this stamp long ago, before the recent rises. Now I'm tipping the overprinted variety, Trieste (Zone A) 144, which retails for 300 to 400, although only 180,000 copies were is­ sued. This is perhaps the greatest philatelic bargain available today! BUY A SET 0? BLOCKS, SIT BACK, AND WATCH IT GO!

Trieste (Zone A) 155. This stamp depicts an airplane over the Colosseum, the scene of ancient sports events in Rome. It is listed in Seebacher's "Handbook", although many others may not consider it to be a sports stamp. It's in my collection, though, and I'm darn glad it is. The non-overprinted variety, Italy 611, now sells for $12.00, although I tipped it back in December, 1963, when it sold for approximately $1.50. The overprinted stamp, Trieste (Zone A) 155, was issued in a quantity of 200,000 stamps and sells for 350 to 500. Yes, I've got a block of four and I recommend you do the same. At these prices you can't lose. Trieste (Zone A) 166. Racing sports cars is the design of this sports stamp, issued by Italy in 1952 to commemorate the 20th Mllle Miglia (thousand miles) Race, held at Bres­ cia. Italy 622, the non-overprinted stamps, now sells for $1.25 to $1.50. However, the overprinted variety, Trieste (Zone A) 166, retails for 15j^ to 250, although only 200,000 copies were issued. You can't go broke buying a copy, can you? Trieste (Zone A) 206. This was the last sports stamp issued by the Italian Zone of Trieste before the city was returned to Italy in 1954, thereby bringing these colorful is­ sues to an end. This stamp honors the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Italian louring Club and features a cyclist of the 1890s, a modern auto, and the symbol of the touring club. Italy 657, the non-overprinted variety, retails for $1.00 to $1.25, al­ though some 8,000,000 copies were sold. But the overprinted stamp, Trieste (Zone A) 206, of which a mere 200,000 copies were issued, sells for 150. Note that Italy 657 was issued in forty times the quantity of the Trieste variety, yet it sells for seven or eight times as much! Which of these stamps do you think is the bigger bargain today? So do I!

EDITORIAL COMMENT As we begin SPI's and "JSP's" fifth year, three needs exist at the moment to produce a better periodical. Do you want to help by serving in any of the following three capaci­ ties : 1. Compiler and editor of o ur "Olympiana" column. With so many members interested so strongly (and perhaps solely) in the Olympic Games and its philate ly we certainly are guilty of slighting this area, Your editor has been able to prepare any such material for publication when it has become available, but he absolutely cannot write or compile it. So "Olympiana" frequently langui shes with no material. Can you help in some way? 2. Assistant compiler of o ur annual check-list by activities, Here the owner of an Yvert catalogue and Its monthly supplements is especially needed to help with the listing of the non-Scott items. If you qualify, will you be willing to help 3. Author to prepare a seri es on the Balkan Games and their phil ately. This does not appear to be a difficult subject to document nor on which to locate philatelic material. Certainly many qualify; who will volunteer? Can you help here?

SERVICES Local post issue with sports connotation. The laws of the United States permit the operation of local posts under certain specific conditions. Since May of 1953 a number of local posts have been operated in some form; in 1962 about six were functioning. Even the American Philatelic Society got into the act for a short time in 1956. The study of these hobby efforts is very interesting:.

One such local post is currently operated by Robert Rank of Union City, N. J., who does the designing and printing of the stamps and ca chets, and Bob Whitney, who operates the local service at Satellite Beach (Cape Canaveral), Florida. The Interest of this local post is space activities, but their local stamp in honor of Syncom carrle s significance for sports collectors. Since Syncom was used in t elevlsion of Olympic contests from Tokyo, it has been tied into spo rts collecting by several of the countries best known for their gou ging of the collector. Note the runner with torch and Olympic rings on the special issue of this modern local post. Anyone interested in these local stamps and first-day covers can contact Mr. Rank at 545 41st St., Union City, N. J. His prices are reasonable and his material provides an interesting sideline.

Bad design on Liberian soccer issue. "The Liberian issue honoring the World Cup is a stinker", comments our Landy Antinori (SPI 323). Scott #440 is presumed to depict the Rimet Cup, but actually does not, according to Landy. His complaint to the Liberian Agen­ cy in New York brought exactly the response one would expect--nothing!

John La Porta (SPI 79) reports that the German Democratic Republic's set honoring the World Parachutists Championship (15pf value) has been blacklisted as a limited printing, in this case a so-called "blocked value". Also the imperforate variety of Hungary's recent "Trophies of the Chase" set was penalized as an oddity Intentionally included with an issue.

REVIEWS

Sports Supplement No. 7, K-Line Publishing, Inc. It Is time to review another sup­ plementary set of sports album pages prepared by George Kobylka of K-Line Publishing, Inc. But there Isn't much new to say, for the same high quality continues—heavy stock, rounded corners, holes punched for the standard three-hole binder, clear printing, adequate phila­ telic information, and good summaries of the results of sports competition. This supplement consists of sixty pages of which thirteen are devoted to souvenir sheets. These new pages cover issue from Ajman, Albania, , Austria, Bahamas, Bulgaria, Cameroons, Congo Republic, Republic of Congo, Czechoslovakia, Ecuador, French Polynesia, German Democratic Republic, Ghana, Great Britain, Guinea, Haiti, , Hun­ gary, Italy, Jordan, Jugoslavia, Korea, Liberia, Mali, Mongolia, Norway, Peru, Poland, Ro­ mania, Russia, San Marino, and United Arab Republic. New users of these supplements must understand that pages are prepared only when a representative showing of stamps have accu­ mulated to make a respectable showing. Occasionally one will need a suitable stock-book to hold his stamps until a given country comes through with additional sports stamps, but eventually the page shows up. The cost of this supplement is $6.85 plus 75£ postage. In line with its latest poli­ cy, K-Llne also offers additional pages for imperforate issues, priced at $1.45 postpaid. This offering includes pages for Ajman, Guinea, Hungary, Liberia, Mongolia, and Romania.

S. Olympic teams. Through the courtesy of David C. Johnson (SPI 619), I have had the opportunity to study H. R. 17068, introduced into the House of Representatives by Congresswoman Edith Green of Oregon on August 15, 1966. It authorizes the issue of a special, permanent postage stamp in the denomination of 5^ + 5^; the additional fee is to be transferred to the U. S. Olympic Committee to pay part of the cost of participation by the United States in the Olympic Games. Note the word "perma­ nent"; apparently the same item would be used at the appropriate time every four years.

We know that legislation passed by Congress asking for specific commemorative stamps has no binding effect on the Post Office Department. Commemoratives are obtained by be­ hind-the-scenes political operations. However, this legislation amends the United States Code and thus legalizes and authorizes (not Just permits) specific action. It will be in­ teresting to observe the action of the House of Representatives. If you believe In this proposal, contact your representative. He will be particularly sensitive to your requests between now and early November I
