Hundreds of you picked up a free ‘I ❤️ STAMPEX’ badge at Stampex!
So much stamp love! We loved spotting you wearing yours on your tie, your coat, your cardi, your shirt, your bag…
Still wearing yours? Tag us in a selfie @ptsandstampex

Virtual Stampex Talk Confirmed!
Stamps prepared for use but never issued.
Oscar Young from Stanley Gibbons, examines the stories behind stamps that were prepared for use but never issued. During this talk we will discover the many reasons behind why some stamps never saw a post office; whether it be due to an error of design, change of postal rates or death of a monarch. Lastly we will discuss how some of these stamps despite never being made available to the public did reach collectors and how much some of these stamps are worth today.
Save the date and time - Friday 7th March at 13:00 UK Time, 14:00 CET, 08:00 EST, 00:00 AEDT
Register for the show today at stampex.vfairs.com
Virtual Stampex is free to attend and is live 24 hours a day. Enjoy Talks, Roundtable discussions, visit Dealer Booths, Chat with Auction Houses, meet philatelists from around the world, View Displays, compete in games!
