Same solid location. Same excellent show. Year after year. And, as usual, it was a great showing by Classics Society members.

When the venue you’ve used for years for your annual show is torn down, you have to find a new home. Well, the folks at BALPEX did it - and much improved in the eyes of this collector. No need to wear a jacket to keep warm at the show this year.

The leaves hadn’t really started falling in September, but the medals were coming fast for Society members in Canada (at the Royal of Canada Show), Houston, and NOJEX.

INDYPEX showed a few Society members the checkered flag.

In a reprise of the 2023 Exchange, (but even better!) the USPCS and the RPSL will be presenting a joint display of classic material.

With lots of opportunities for adding to collections, attending philatelic talks, dinning with fellow philatelists, and viewing impressive philatelic exhibits, GASS never ran out of air.

and our new RVPs make sure all regions are covered.

The Classics Society shows its “flag” at almost all shows. Ohio and Wisconsin are no exception with Society member’s winning awards at COLOPEX and MILCOPEX.

Jeff Forster was a prominent philatelic exhibitor and prolific author focusing on the 1869 pictorial issue. He was also the U. S. Philatelic Classics Society Attorney and a generous donor to the Society.

Jeffrey passed away in August, 2022. In his memory, a new website section has been created for the publications of the 1869 Pictorial Research Associates, specifically the 1869 Society Times and 1869 Registers.

Issues for The Times, a newsletter have been posted for 1975-1990. The Register is a 100+ page journal, covering the years 1976-1982. Both publications are searchable.
