New York 2016 World Stamp Show was a resounding success. It created an opportunity for us to meet many new collectors whom were just as keen to find philatelic treasures as collectors in the UK. I took some time out to view some of the wonderful collections on display, the depth of knowledge, work and study collectors can do is an absolute credit to the hobby.
My favourite display was MEXICO – THE EXPORTA ISSUE. The exhibitor managed to display and source original artwork of this most complex of issues and show a time line for the papers involved in printing. I think Mexico stamps are some of the most challenging stamps in the world, complicated and interesting.
Thank you to everyone that came to visit our stand.
