   Stamp Rarities From Around the World

At this year’s Collector’s Fair, Ludvík Pytlíček, holder of 16 gold medals from world philately exhibitions, presents some of the rarities from his collection concentrating on Germany, Austria, Belgium and other European countries. World rarities and single copies will be on display in eight exhibition panels from the collection of Baron Dr. Riegr, Alfred F. Lichtenstein, manufacturer Ladislav Bednář and other significant collectors and prominent individuals.  The single copies exhibited will include Thurn Taxis 1/3 Sgr, green (Michl 27) and Prussia 4 Pf., six-band, letter (Michl 9a)

New Prominent Exhibitors

The Austrian firm Schoeller Münzhandel informs that there will be further mints at its stand at the fair. First time the Royal Australian Mint  (already the second mint from Australia at Collector!), Swiss Mint and German mints will be in Prague. Czech firm Numismatika Zlatá koruna is coming back to the fair and for the first time there will be participating the companies Koruna česká from Ostrava and Aurea Numismatika from Prague, which became famous thanks to recent auctions of Russian coinages from collection of Mr.Antonín Prokop.

At the fair there is firstly participating also the firm Groth AG from Switzerland (Czech representative Mr. Miroslav Plíšek) with the program of World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) in philately. First appearance at the fair will have company Hostýnské papírny,  Czech producer of albums for collectors.

Filatelie Klim

For the first time one of the most Czech renowned philately companies will take part in the fair – Filatelie Klim from Brno. This company runs two shops in the Moravian city and is known above all for its auctions. Five times a year Filatelie Klim organizes auctions of postage stamps, and twice a year auctions of paper currency. Its business activities include dealing in philately and numismatics, as well as medals and awards. Klim publishes the renowned magazine Merkur Revue and a series of professional publications for collectors.

Postal Stationeries of German Post and  UNPA

For this year’s fair Collector, the German Post will release a special-edition  letter and the United Nations Post Administration will release commemorative postcard. Both of these postal stationary items will, of course, be for sale at the fair.

Collectors of Curiosities Club

The Collectors of Curiosities Club has taken part in the fair since its first year. In addition to an information stand, this year it has also prepared for visitors exhibits from noteworthy collections of its members – Sept 9th (sport insignia and souvenirs, old fishing tackle, food grinders, nail paint, thimbles, licence plate from American cars and European warning signs), the beer souvenirs day - Sept 13th (labels, coasters, cans, pitchers, glasses, old bottles) and Sept 14th collections of the Aviation Fun Club Praha (model planes, pilot insignia, flight schedules, flight tickets, etc.) The exposition of the Collectors of Curiosities Club will also have on display for the duration of the fair a Praga Lady automobile (1936), which belonged to Czech actress Lída Baarová, from the collection of Emil Příhoda. The club has issued a series of three 2004 pocket calendars for the fair.

Telephone Card For the Fair

The Slovak company Mediaroll has issued 1,000 special-edition pre-paid telephone card “Z” for the fair. You can use the cards to call abroad from the Czech Republic. For instance, it’s good for over an hour-long fixed-line call to Slovakia.

Russian Collectors at the Fair

The Russian monthly for collectors Petersburski Koleksioner published in its latest issue extensive material on the prepared fair Collector in Prague. We feel that this will attract collectors from Russia, and that they’ll set out in great numbers to Prague.

Greatest Inflation Ever

The Czech Numismatic Society has prepared for the fair an exhibition of Hungarian currency from 1946. It was that spring in Hungary when inflation began to spiral uncontrollably upwards. Each day a few zeros were added to the figure, says the author of the exhibition, Vladimír Kudlík, from the Czech National Bank, until a bank note eventually reached one billion billion pengö (24 zeros). It was the most drastic inflation ever. A monetary reform followed, bringing with it the introduction of the forint. Numismatists should especially find the exhibition interesting.

Autographs

On Saturday, September 12th, two autographs will immediately be signed that will foremost interest numismatists. At noon Eduard Polívka will sign his new book Czech Groschen, Tokens and Metal Stamps and at 2:00 p.m. Jan Bajer will sign his updated (now in colour) publication of the catalogue Paper Currency in Czechoslovakia 1919 – 1993, Czech Republic and Slovak Republic 1993 – 2003. On Sunday at 11:00 a.m. renowned creators of Czech stamps, the artists Libuše and Jaromír Knotek will sign autographs. Their block with the pisces sign will be on sale for the first time at the fair.
