STAMPEX 2023 Post Event Release
London, November 2023: The Philatelic Traders’ Society hosted another engaging Stampex at the Business Design Centre in Central London last month. Sponsored by Spink, the world-renowned auctioneers, the show was filled with PTS Member dealers, auction houses, and businesses, boasting a daily talks schedule and the chance to attend society meetings. Simon Carson, PTS Chairman, comments, “I wanted to take this time to say a huge thank you to everyone who has worked with us on the show; to the PTS members who attend year after year, to our trusted suppliers who help us make the show happen, and to all the amazing collectors who come along and join us at this important event. We can’t wait to see you all next year.”
