September 2022: The Philatelic Traders’ Society is delighted to announce the launch of the Stampex Online Marketplace for Stampex 2022, in partnership with StampAuctionNetwork.

With over 99,000 listings, it is set to be the world’s largest stamp show online marketplace. This is a wonderful way for stamp lovers to be able to shop from their favourite Stampex and trusted PTS Members dealers all under one roof. We know that coming away from Stampex with something new for your collection is the greatest feeling. The Stampex Online Marketplace will allow everyone to get that “look what I got!” feeling during and after the show…
Graham Beck of Exploring Stamps YouTube channel has produced a superb 13 min video on the Philatelic Collections of the British Library. In the video, Paul Skinner, Lead Curator, and Richard Morel, Curator, are talking about the Philatelic Collections which were established in 1891 with the bequest of the Tapling Collection, and how they later grew with the addition of more important collections or archives which were acquired by bequest, or transfer from Government departments. Today the total holdings consist of over eight million items, representing almost all countries and periods.
A few weeks ago, Graham Beck received the Ernest A. Kehr Award, which is presented annually by the American Philatelic Society “for enduring contributions that help guarantee the future of the hobby.”

We picked this up from the AIJP website yesterday:
13 years ago, the 3rd edition of the first volume of this unique collection of biographical data on former and current renowned philatelists was published, and one year ago volume 4 with the letters “M-R”. Each volume was written by Wolfgang Maassen and published in the book series “Chronik der deutschen Philatelie” by the Schwalmtaler Phil*Creativ Verlag. Several thousand biographical entries, some of them several pages long, have already been published on around 1,200 pages so far. Now the publisher announces that two more volumes (instead of the originally planned last volume) will be published in autumn 2022: Volume 5 (letter “S”) with about 330 pages and Volume 6 (letters “T-Z) with a similar scope. The complete work is thus considered finished for the time being and should then number around 2,000 pages. Whereby ‘completed’ is probably only meant to be ‘preliminary’. On the one hand, there are always new names that are still missing, and on the other hand, the volumes have been significantly expanded by the inclusion of new people.
Thus, for the first time in volumes 5 and 6, the stamp artists (designers, engravers, etc.) from the German-speaking countries have been included, most of them edited by Wolfgang Schneider. The early philatelists were also given much more attention than before – thanks to the research of Hans-Peter Garcarek. The complete work has been entered for the IBRA 2023 literature competition. It is probably unique in its kind worldwide and thus represents the largest compendium of biographical-historical portraits. Even though the book is published exclusively in German, it has become an indispensable reference for anyone interested in the history of Philately.
