EXPONET GUESTBOOK
"...i love this project really. Some days ago I read carefully the exhibition of "Certified mail in Northern Bavaria 1945". I didn´t know anything about this before. Yesterday I found a so called "certified letter" offered by a German dealer. This kind of mail was only possible from 03.09. until 18.09.1945 and only in northern Bavaria. Without my knowledge got from this site I would not have been able to recognice the value of this letter. You do a great job, really, and I appreciate it very well. Thank You for this project.".

Astro-Hungarian Army 1914-1918
Dear Visitor, You have reached the first Czech website dealing with Austro-Hungarian Army during WWI. The website has been based on an excellent text by Mr. Sedlacek. The Author covers both origin and early stage of the war, he also prepared detailed overview of Austro-Hungarian military troops and Navy. The Author extended the text also to topics like national anthem of the Monarchy, comparison of military ranks or information about weapons. I have accompanied with illustrations from my postal history collection to make you more familiar with discussed time. We are looking forward to hearing your comments, notices or interesting documents relating to the discussed topics.

Preparation of 9th International Fair Collector 2006 in Prague has begun

Studio Filatelico at the fair
Participating for the first time at this year’s COLLECTOR International Trade Fair, to be held in Prague from 15 to 17 September, is the Italian philatelic auction house Studio Filatelico in Moncalieri. Mr. Paolo Gazzera holds philatelic auctions regularly in Milan. In 2005 he attended the fair for the first time as a visitor, and decided on the spot to participate in this year’s event as an exhibitor.

German Post and Belarus Post return
After a two-year absence, Deutsche Post is returning to this year’s fair. The postal service of the Federal Republic of Germany is known for supporting collectors by issuing a special magazine for them and, above all, by making beautiful stamps and postcards with pre-printed stamps. After a year’s absence, the Belarus Post is returning to COLLECTOR. It is also known for publishing beautiful stamps and for its active approach towards collectors.

Faithful exhibitors from Great Britain and Austria
Among philatelists, regular exhibitors at the fair are Peter McBride from Great Britain and the Austrian auction house Vojta & Peters Briefmarken. They already filled out their application forms for this year’s fair on the last day of last year’s COLLECTOR fair. Trevor Pateman from Great Britain also already registered last year, and he has greatly expanded his exhibition.

Biggest dealer from China
Last year, the collector Xu Wei from the People’s Republic of China made an appearance. He is apparently the biggest collector and dealer of telephone cards in China. He has even seen through the issuing in China of a telephone card for the fair. He is registered again this year, and is planning the issue of a whole series of telephone cards by China Telecom for the fair in Prague. In the field of telephone cards, Bengt Novén from Sweden is also returning to the fair.

Newcomer from Austria
Among the newcomers at this year’s fair will be the Austria company Der Heimatsammler, which will offer postcards with pre-printed stamps and historical picture postcards.

Czech Mint with a larger stand
The Czech Mint has traditionally been one of the fair’s exhibitors. This year, the mint expects to display a much larger stand than in past years. Management of the mint has assured the organizers of COLLECTOR that it considers this fair, right after the World Money Fair in Berlin, to be of pivotal importance for its business activities.

Are you interested in exhibiting?
At this time, the organizer is sending registration forms for this year’s COLLECTOR fair to all of the world’s mints and postal services, as well as to all past exhibitors. If you are interested in exhibiting and selling at our fair, which is the biggest collector’s event in Central and Eastern Europe, please send an e-mail with your address to sberatel@ppa.cz

SPECIAL SUBSCRIPTION FOR SOLPERA 6.50 KČ CARD
Collectors of the Czech stationeries were badly surprised by the problems connected with the "Solpera 6.50” card of 2005. When they found out The Czech Postoffice (CP) used a great part of the issued cards for other purposes and did not supply it to the regular customers, which made the common card a rare piece overnight (in PAC auction of Milan Cernik it was offered for 2 800 Kc = 90 EUR) the collectors asked for reissue of the card with the identical paper and same micro line inscription. It is important to gain as many collectors as possible to subscribe so that the reissue is sure. We support the collectors´ demand and we may only hope the reissue will not differ much from the first issue (the same or similar number of issue, no intentional usage of anything different during the print, e. g. a different paper, its colour, thickness, colour of the printed stamp, luminescence), so that another rare piece is not produced. As we know there were quite many leaks in the past (Solpera´s card of 9 Kc of 2002 with no hologram and the false shredding of CDV1X). It was from the Ministry of Informatics that our regular reader got the note concerning the reissue of Solpera´s 6.50 card of 2005. We can briefly extract the essential points of the answer of Ing. Jiri Rehola, the Director of Postal Services Section of Ministry of Informatics of CR:
- Only 14 600 pieces of the Solpera 6.50 card were ordered to print to cover the order of imprints (9 600 pieces).
- The difference ought to have served as a reserve for other possible imprints.
- Due to the obstacles in the printing house only 9 803 pieces of the mentioned card were supplied to the CP.
- Part of the issue was used to prepare the sets of the prints of the commemorative cancels used in January 2005.
- To help collectors to gain the card for nominal price additionally the CP will offer an extraordinary subscription to the Klub filatelistu (Stamp Collectors´ Club), stamp dealers… and will prepare a reissue in a necessary amount.
- To avoid the similar situation in future the CP informed the official order form of novelties will give a possibility to subscribe the new cards with the different year printed in their micro line from 2006 on.

At the exhibition, visitors will be able to see medals, coins, awards and graphic pages associated with the person of Charles IV. Another exhibition in the field of numismatics will be modern and historical replicas of minting from the work of the medal maker Petr Soušek. The philatelist Ludvík Pytlíček traditionally exhibits treasures from his collection at the trade fair. This year they will be rare Czechoslovak postage stamps. Karel Mařík has prepared an exhibition for all who are interested in the enigmatic power and beauty of precious stones called Why Precious Stones are Precious.

About the fair
The trade fair is traditionally held in the Industrial Palace at the Exhibition Grounds in Prague 7 - Holešovice on the northern edge of the capital’s centre. The journey by tram or metro from the very heart of the city takes ten minutes. Metro line C (station Nádraží Holešovice) and trams 5, 12, 14, 15 and 17 go to the exhibition grounds. Admission prices for the trade fair: one-day ticket CZK 60 and a ticket for all three days costs CZK 100. The entry ticket is also good for the trade fair Antikvariát. Both trade fairs are open to the public on Friday and Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00, and on Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00. We recommend that those visitors who arrive late utilise the HAPPY HOUR. On Friday and Saturday from 16:00, and on Sunday from 14:00, the admission price to the trade fair will be a flat CZK 20. Women and young people up to the age of eighteen have free admission to the trade fair. For young visitors, the already proven “preparatory course for future collectors” will be prepared.

EXPONET
... In June 2004 when Exponet was presented on Japhila site, I understood that this was something I had been waiting for, a permanent on line exhibition! Suddenly we could study top collections for free, visit them as many times as we wanted to, without travelling, and we could compare our own collections to the on line exhibitions. Later on, when Mr. Gerhard Hanacek presented his on line exhibition “TSCHECHOSLOWAKEI 1920-1923 DIE FREIMARKENAUSGABEN IN BUCHDRUCK”, (Czechoslovakia – typography stamps 1920-1923) I could state that the Exponet was “going to be something”! This was fascinating, I really enjoyed it. Then, when Mr. Henry Hahn’s on line exhibition ”CZECHOSLOVAKIA - THE FIRST REPUBLIC 1918 – 1938” was presented this year, 2005, on Exponet, that was for me and presumably for all CSR I collectors a real “Christmas gift”. I must admit I don’t know how many times I have returned to this exhibition to study it and to enjoy it. Also Mr Václav Kostal’s “CSR I - ZEITUNGSMARKEN 1918-1920” and Mr Georg Wilhelms "DIE TSCHECHOSLOWAKISCHE LUFTPOST 1920-1939" caught my interest...

Press release January 20, 2005
On 20 January 2005, the Czech Ministry of Informatics will be issuing a special miniature sheet featuring an image of the Petr Ginz moonscape drawing, with a nominal value of CZK 31.
Born into a Jewish family in Prague, Petr Ginz (1928-1944) was a multi-talented boy from an early age who wrote for his school magazine. On 24 October 1942, he was deported to the Terezín ghetto, where he continued to write articles and draw pictures; these have been preserved thanks to a friend who survived the Holocaust. Ginz’s drawings are kept at the Yad Vashem Art Museum, Jerusalem.
Featured on the stamp is an image of Petr Ginz’s famous pencil drawing entitled ”Moon Landscape” – a view of the Earth as seen from the Moon. The cruel fate of Petr Ginz, who perished in Auschwitz in the autumn of 1944, was tragically repeated in the Columbia shuttle disaster. Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon took a copy of Ginz’s drawing with him into space in an attempt to fulfill the dream of Petr Ginz 58 years on. On 1 February 2003, however, the space shuttle Columbia exploded, killing all seven astronauts as the ship re-entered Earth’s atmosphere following a 16-day mission. The stamp also contains a portrait of Petr Ginz and the text ”Moon landscape – Terezín – 1942-1944, Petr Ginz (1928-1944).”
The stamp was designed by Pavel Hrach and engraved by Václav Fajt.
The stamp (26 x 40mm) and miniature sheet (76 x 116mm) were made by Poštovní tiskárna cenin Praha, a.s., using a black recess print from flat plates combined with full-colour offset printing. The miniature sheet depicts the Columbia shuttle in flight and contains the text ”The Petr Ginz drawing is owned by the Yad Vashem Art Museum, Jerusalem.”
A first day cover and a special postmark are being issued in conjunction with the stamp. The drawing on the cover depicts the lift-off of the space shuttle Columbia. The cover engraving is greyish-blue and was made using a recess print from flat plates.
The stamp has the catalogue number A 422 and is valid from 20 January 2005 until recalled.
