The “Summer of Stamps Virtual Festival” is kicking off today, July 9, and runs to August 18, 2020.
The month-long stamp celebration is wonderful seeing organizations “including the American Philatelic Society (APS), the British Library Philatelic Collections and London’s The Postal Museum”.
"Summer of Stamps Virtual Festival"
The American Philatelic Society is a Festival Partner and they will be featuring a “range of videos and articles provided by the American Philatelic Society, the largest, non-profit organisation for stamp collectors in the world.”
“The online event is set to offer collectors a bustling stamp marketplace, featuring the latest stock and information from a wide range of stamp traders and auction houses; daily content, including exclusive videos and guides from organizations including the American Philatelic Society (APS), the British Library Philatelic Collections and London’s The Postal Museum; a virtual goody bag, featuring offers and discounts; and competitions, challenging collectors to put together one-page stamp displays.”
The stamp festival programme is displaying each day’s events and as the day progresses they are activating the links.
